You can't advise what you can't see.
Your advisees are carrying twenty schools, a dozen deadlines, and a stack of drafts — and the only window you get into it is whatever they manage to summarize in the first ten minutes of a meeting. MedPath gives you the actual view, with the boundaries they control.
Free for advisors. No contract, no roster upload, no seat fees.
What advising looks like right now.
None of this is a failure of effort. It's a failure of visibility.
Half the meeting is a status update.
You have thirty minutes. Twenty of them go to reconstructing where they are — which secondaries are out, which letters landed, what they submitted last week — before you can say anything useful.
Drafts arrive as attachments.
personal_statement_v7_FINAL_final.docx, in an email thread with four other versions. Your comments live in one file; their revisions live in another; nobody is sure which is current.
You hear about problems late.
The stalled letter, the school they quietly dropped, the secondary sitting untouched for three weeks — you usually find out about it after it costs them something.
You become the bottleneck.
For questions a well-organized plan would have answered on its own. Your judgment is the scarce resource, and it gets spent on logistics.
Three steps, and none of them are yours.
They invite you.
The applicant sends an invitation from their account and chooses exactly which parts of their application you can see.
You accept.
You create an advisor account and their application appears in your Reviewing list, alongside anyone else who has shared with you.
You comment where it matters.
Leave feedback on a draft or a plan item. They see it in context, address it, and resolve the thread — no attachments, no version confusion.
What you get.
See where they actually are
Their current plan, school list, requirement status, and deadlines — the same view they work from, not a summary they wrote for you the night before.
Comment where the work lives
Leave feedback directly on a draft or a plan item. Threads resolve when they're addressed, so you both know what's still open without re-reading the whole exchange.
Scoped access, set by them
Eleven separate permission scopes — plan, schools, requirements, writing, Story Bank, activities, letters, interviews, decisions, academic profile, and sensitive details. Writing and anything sensitive are off by default; the applicant turns on only what they want you to see.
All your advisees in one list
Every applicant who has shared with you, in a single Reviewing view — with pending invitations you can accept or ignore.
"So what exactly does the AI do to their essays?"
It's the right question, and we'd rather you ask it now than wonder later. MedPath's advisor is built to coach, not to compose. It has a fixed set of things it will do: check whether a draft answers the prompt, point at unclear passages, find where reflection is missing, question structure and specificity, check consistency across essays, help cut to length, ask questions that develop a story, and lay out a revision plan.
There is no button that writes an essay. Not a limited one, not a "draft for inspiration" one. Every word an applicant submits is a word they wrote, which is what their certification to AMCAS and AACOMAS requires — and what makes your feedback worth giving.
Applicant content is never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's.
- Asks questions instead of supplying answers
- Flags weak or unsupported passages, doesn't rewrite them
- Quotes the applicant's own words back to them
- Never generates submittable essay content
- Never claims to predict admissions odds
What you can't do — on purpose.
Advisor access is deliberately narrow. It's their application, and the product keeps it that way.
- You don't get their login, and you never see their account credentials.
- You can't edit their essays or check off their tasks — the work stays theirs.
- You only see the scopes they've enabled, and they can revoke access at any time, effective immediately.
- You're not on the hook for their deadlines. MedPath does the reminding, not you.
