What is the weekly time commitment for an intensive course?
Our intensive courses are thorough but highly efficient. The approximate total time commitment for engaging in all activities - tutorials, skill-builders, high-yield review sessions, reading and practice - for each type of intensive program are given below.
-
4-Week Intensive: 7 days per week, ~6 hours per day, but ~8 h on Full-Length practice exam days. Because of the large time commitment, these programs are usually held in the summer or over winter break.
-
8-Week Intensive: You pick any 5 study blocks per week at ~3 hours per study block on whatever days/times work for you, + some longer Full-Length practice exam days.
-
14-Week Intensive: You pick any 3 study blocks per week at ~3 hours per study block on whatever days/times work for you, + longer Full-Length practice exam days.
Are scholarships available?
Yes, full and partial scholarships are awarded to cover partial or full tuition for intensive programs. Students receiving scholarships are responsible for purchasing AAMC materials or other materials. Check current scholarship calls here.
All Intensive programs include a full year of access to the On-Demand Preparation Described above. They also include access to daily assignments from your instructors (during specified program term and two weeks after the term). All content is offered asynchronously to fit any schedule.
