congrats on your acceptances!!! amazing video as always, super excited for this series :)
This was so helpful, thank you so much!!
Awesome comprehensive overview of the application process! Wanted to add in that submission of transcripts is also required for the primary application to be complete. Start requesting for them as soon as the application opens so you don't have to experience delay in app processing, ESPECIALLY if you are requesting it from a school that still sends paper transcripts for whatever reason! I learned this the hard way. :(

Yes!! Most people don't realize how long it takes. Get them early from all schools you attended (i.e., home institution and community college)
Good morning happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Hey May!! Just wondering if you can make a video about where you’re going to med school
Wow I'm stressed for you from the past!!
Hi, The information about the Medical school application cycle was helpful. Please, any thoughts on when I should take the MCAT? Initially, I had planned on taking the MCAT around early May. Since my last semester is Fall 2023, what do you suggest I should do? I am trying to plan my Medical school application timeline. I would appreciate it if I could get some advice or direction. Thank you.
Thanks for such a great video! Can you share the application/program you used to create this timeline? I could really use this for applying this coming cycle

I am having a hard time getting professors to write me a LOR. Do you think it's because I have 1.9GPA, 499 MCAT, downward trend?

There is no point in applying to med school with that GPA unless you can do a post-bac and boost it.
