ADVISOR FAQ
Advisor FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes — free for up to 20 programs with no payment information required to start. A one-time $79 Cycle Pass (reg. $129) unlocks unlimited programs and the strategy tools, but nothing is gated behind a subscription and students never need to pay to use the core tracker.
What's the catch for my students' data?
None. CycleDoc stores logistics only — no PHI, no essays, no application content. Students can export everything as JSON or permanently delete their account from Settings at any time.
Do I have to set anything up or sign an agreement?
No. There's no institutional signup and nothing to administer. You just share the link if it's useful.
Is this affiliated with the AAMC, ERAS, or the NRMP?
No. CycleDoc is an independent organization tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them, and it doesn't provide advising, essay help, or coaching.
