CASPA changed the rules this cycle. Get every change on one page, free.
The COVID essay is gone, a required technology essay replaced it, the AI policy shifted, and the fees went up. Applicants working from last year’s advice are following rules that no longer exist. This one-pager lists every official 2026-2027 change, plus what stayed the same despite the rumors.

What’s on the page
The April 30 opening and what rolling admissions does to late applicants. The new required technology essay. The exact line of the new AI policy. The fee increase and the 21-day fee waiver window. The mobile-first portal, standardized prerequisite naming, and the revised infraction questions. And the list of what did not change, because the rumor mill says otherwise.
Who made this
Jeff Brown Jr, PA-C, MBA. Director of advanced practice providers at a health system, pre-PA coach, and author of The PA School Admissions Playbook, the complete CASPA system updated for this cycle. The one-pager is Appendix C of the book. The book is the rest of the system.
