This 17-minute training video from Taylor Lindgren , MD reviews "AMCAS, TMDSAS, AACOMAS,: 1 Path Forward."

Key Notes: 

-The application timeline and key dates vary each year; both advisors and clients should verify the most up-to-date information directly on the respective application service websites.

-Several activity categories—such as leadership, healthcare, and research—now allow expanded descriptions of up to 500 characters each.

-The personal characteristics essay prompt has been slightly revised (though the intent remains similar):

“Describe any personal qualities, characteristics, and/or lived experiences that could enrich the educational experience of others.” (5,000 characters)
