Can we upgrade to a larger package later if needed?
Yes — and in med school admissions, it’s especially common.
The most frequent move is Silver to Gold. A candidate starts with the primary application package — strategy, school selection, personal statement — planning to handle secondaries independently. Then the secondary sprint arrives. Schools send prompts in waves, turnaround expectations are tight, and maintaining quality across ten or fifteen school-specific essay sets while holding down research, clinical hours, and everything else turns out to be a different kind of challenge than expected. That’s when Gold starts to look less like an upgrade and more like a necessity.
Gold to Platinum happens too, usually when a candidate realizes their profile would benefit from the additional expert perspectives — the MD consultation, the Adcom Simulator, or the premium interview prep with a blind evaluator. Or when the school list expands beyond ten secondaries and the additional coverage makes practical sense.
In both cases, pricing adjusts proportionally. You’re not penalized for starting lean, and the strategic foundation you’ve already built carries forward. You can also layer in à la carte services at any point — MCAT tutoring, CASPer/PREview prep, post-interview reflection support — if a specific need surfaces that wasn’t anticipated at the outset.
What we won’t do is push bigger packages upfront. If Silver genuinely fits your situation, we’ll say so. If the work later reveals that Gold or Platinum would serve you better, we’ll explain why and let you decide. The door stays open; the upsell stays off.
One honest note specific to med: if you’re applying to more than five or six schools and plan to take secondaries seriously, Gold is almost certainly the right starting point. We’d rather tell you that now than watch you scramble in August.
