  • Students taking the MCAT in early 2027 who need a structured, high-impact final push with strategy, timing, and problem-solving.
  • Students planning to take the MCAT later in 2027 or beyond who haven’t started studying yet and want to build a strong foundation while identifying what to focus on moving forward.

The Winter Immersive runs from December 16, 2026 to January 12, 2027.

If you have questions about whether the timing works for your test date, please email us at [email protected].

Each class day has three 90-minute live sessions (1:00 PM, 3:30 PM, and 6:00 PM ET), about 4.5 hours of live instruction, plus additional time for practice questions, practice exams and review. Especially during the first week, treat the immersive like your full-time job.
