If you want to go the pre-med route in college/university you have to take certain classes in order to apply to certain graduate and medical schools. Hope that helps you!

Your videos are great. Very helpful and motivating, giving me that extra push to "strive" for medical school, thank you Jamie.

I'm a freshman neuroscience major! I am so glad I found your videos. You are giving me so much hope. I haven't been doing very well in two of my science classes (Organic Chem and Cells, Genes, and Inheritance), so I have been rethinking my pre-med/pre-health track. Since I have been watching your videos, I have gotten this new sense of hope. I am falling back in love with medicine and my decisions for my future!!

+Nothing don't lose hope! you'll see in my future videos that I wasn't always the perfect student (high school AND college). You have a lot time to make up for not doing well in first year... don't give up! :)

It's really good to know you get enough sleep. I have never and do not think I could pull all nighters for medical school. I NEED MY SLEEP.

It’s weird that I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, yet didn’t know we had the same major lol. I’m a freshman at my college majoring in neuroscience & premed.

what med school do you attend?

Did you ever consider going to a physician assistant school? If so, how did you decide to go to med school?

I attend a community college right now I'm really interested in attending med school and becoming and obgyn so question is do i transfer to a med school after community college or a cal state? and also how do i get accepted to med school what do i need to do?

Hi! I like your videos. I was wondering how much math and chemistry is involved in medical school? I suck in both subjects, which is discouraging me from considering medical school.

What's the name and model of the white desk lamb in the background of this video?

Where did you go for undergrad? New subscriber!

Don't be shy DO schools are also easier to get into. Lower GPAs, Lower average MCAT score acceptances, and grade replacements

where did you do your undergrad?

I want to go back part time for my bachelor's and go to med school or PA school. Will going part time for the undergrad part hurt me trying to get into professional school?

Hii. I really hope you see my message and get to respond to it. So I'm stuck between doing biology first and then medicine or pre- med first and then medicine. Would there be any disadvantage in doing that? I would really appreciate your advice.

Isn't KZread your parting job 😀:)

im doing my under grad (sophomore) now and plan to get a masters in forensic science, i think i want to go to med school once im done. i'd like to specialize in forensic pathology. but by the time i finish my masters i'll be 29....do you think thats too old for med school?

Can international student doing her undergrad in US apply to med school?

so you go to a uni before going to med school? or what is undergrad really? im sorry, im from finland and the terms and stuff isnt just the same here plus no matter how much greys anatomy ive watched im not completely fluent in english. if we wanna go to a med school in finland we just apply after graduating high school, we have to attend an entrance exam and if you do well enough youll get in.

+anna In US, most medical schools are graduate school programs, meaning you go to college (university) for 4 years as an "undergraduate student" before you can apply and attend medical school. I know it's different in other countries-- for instance in Korea, a lot of medical schools are designed the way it is in Finland so people go to medical school straight after high school. There are some high school to medical school programs (7-8 years long) in the US but it's not common.

TheStriveToFit wow, thanks for explaining. so weird to think that people get to be doctors with such different experiences in education.

does your gpa matter if you want to attend medical school?

Doing Biology major in undergrad , i dont need to major in Premed to go into med school?

@emmab4935

Pre-med is not a major. Pre-med is just doing your undergrad and planning on med school. Any major can be pre med but bio is def a good major because you can get all credits to fulfill requirements of pre med and your major!

How were your grades in highschool? Do they matter in the big picture?

+Max K I thought I responded but for some reason it's not showing up! the short answer is no, your grades in high school don't really matter. I made a video about this topic & it'll be released in couple weeks. stay tuned :)

What if you have not decided weather you want to do nursing or go to medical school. Would it be ok to get your degree in nursing and then go to medical school if you decide to do it? And do you have to do a Pre- Med program in college or is it just a recommendation?

You can do whatever you want. All you have to do is take certain classes that are required from the medical schools, have a bachelors degree in anything, take the MCAT. Everything you need will be on the medical school website.

Hi!!! I'm a senior in high school and I want to pursue neuroscience for undergrad and then go to med school afterwards! How many years am I going to be studying in total in this case???? Thanks!!!!!!!!! Really need it!!!!

That would be eight yours; four years with college and then another four yours with medical school. If you really wanna pursue your dreams of being a doctor, I think the next step is a year of internship and then residency in a specialty.

Would they allow students to take enough loans to be able to support yourself throughout medical school without having to work a lot of hours? Would it be possible at all? :)

Is research in undergrad necessary to get into med school?

@TheStrivetoFit

+profssrfunk I don't think anyone can say for sure whether one type of extracurricular activity is "mandatory" to get into med school-- although there are certain one that are highly recommended and will make you an attractive candidate (e.g. clinical exposure). I did research as did many of my friends in med school. It doesn't have to be a wet lab research (mine wasn't)-- I think it can really be anything you're interested in but you should keep at it for long enough that you can adequately talk about it at your interviews.
