Organizing Your Class? Fill the Date and Shoot Free
You pick a weekend block
Tell us a Saturday or Sunday that clears rotations for most of your class. We hold the studio for that block only: your class, nobody else's, 12-minute sessions back to back.
Everyone pays their own seat
You share one link. Each classmate books and pays for themselves at the class rate. You never handle anyone's money and nobody owes you anything.
Fifteen seats and yours is free
When the fifteenth seat is booked, your own session is refunded in full. The rate everyone pays is set by how many seats fill: $279 each at 3+, $199 at 5+, $149 at 8 or more.
If seats do not fill, nothing is lost
The rate follows the final count. Eleven people book, everyone pays the 8+ rate. Six book, everyone pays the 5+ rate. No one is ever charged for a seat that stayed empty, and nobody is billed a higher rate than the one they saw when they booked.

Photo Requirements and Your Upload Route
File rules and upload steps depend on your application route. The guidance below was checked against AAMC and ECFMG instructions on September 13, 2026.
Photo File Preparation
Match’s standard export is a JPEG at 375 × 525 pixels, 150 dpi and under 150 KB, based on AAMC’s residency photo size guidance. This is our prepared export, not a claim that every other pixel size is rejected.
U.S. Medical Graduates
The direct MyERAS photo instructions accept JPG/JPEG or PNG up to 150 KB, with the face centered. Upload your photo and assign it to the intended programs. Read AAMC’s photo upload and assignment instructions.
International and Fellowship Applicants
International medical graduates submit a JPEG through MyIntealth for ECFMG transfer to MyERAS. Follow ECFMG’s photograph instructions. Fellowship applicants use the route specified by EFDO; AAMC links to the fellowship instructions. Portal processing is separate from delivery by the studio.
