If in-person consultation is desired, the customer assumes all responsibility for travel expenses, responsibility, and any possible and related damages. Services for packages are valid for only one application cycle.

Advisor Scheduling and Availability:

The Medical Professionals Learning & Career Consultants LLC has complete discretion in selecting the dates and times in which it performs the paid services. Timelines listed on product or service pages are a guideline but not a guarantee. Customers will be responded to within 192 hours of established contact. Typical edit turnaround is to be expected at 72 hours, however The Medical Professionals Learning & Career Consultants LLC reserves the right to delay the receipt of services up to the 192 hour window. Phone-call and online video consultations and discussions must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. Mock interviews are to be scheduled with at least 168 hours advanced notice unless otherwise agreed upon. Expedited service is offered with a rush fee option.

Cancellations:

To avoid fees and forfeiture of services, 48 hour advance notice is required from customers for any rescheduling or cancellation. If a cancellation or rescheduling is desired after the 48 hour time window, customer may be charged a fee or may be required to forfeit the service which was scheduled.

Application and Essay Editing Services:

The Medical Professionals Learning & Career Consultants LLC will not write or complete customers’ essays or applications in any capacity. The Medical Professionals Learning & Career Consultants LLC will provide assistance and feedback in the process through editing and revising. The customer certifies that all written passages, such as the personal statement and descriptions of work/activities, are their own and have not been written, in part or in whole, by a third party.

All editing packages, whether 1 edit, 3 edit, unlimited edits, or any other number of edits, are designed for a single essay type. A single editing package cannot be used to edit multiple different pieces of writing. For example, a 3-edit personal statement package provided 3 edits on a single personal statement, rather than 2 edits of a single personal statement and 1 edit of a separate personal statement.

Application Editing packages, whether for AMCAS, AACOMAS, TMDSAS, ERAS, CaRMS, SOPHAS, ResidencyCAS, SFMATCH, or other application system not listed, only apply to the general application components, excluding the personal statement, which can be purchased as a separate service. School-specific or program-specific questions, whether received before or after submitting the primary application, are considered secondary application questions, and would fall under Secondary Application Editing services.
