I am stunned! 528! In the MCAT! Less than 200 people have even gotten that score. WTHHHH
I am a recent high school graduate. I have the option of going pre med to a smaller private college full tuition vs a larger more prestigious private college where I would have to pay around $20k/yr. The larger college has more research opportunities but harder to get a good gpa. The smaller college has smaller class size and fewer research opportunities but easier to get a good gpa. It has fewer premed students but a few have made it to state medical school in the past. Please help me decide?
Always go to for an MD if you can. Better schools. less expensive. that said, you will have the same opportunities generally as a DO.
How dangerous is being a flight surgeon?
I am so glad to see someone who didn't get completely destroyed on Application Renovation lol
The hard part is reading this in 3-4 min and actually understanding it lol. My head is just spinning. Especially after just getting killed by C/P
She can go to sgu they'll take her lol
I like him, he will be an amazing doctor!
Wow im done. He did not get in. I have no chances
Feel bad for this guy. I could never have applied for 3 cycles.
Sucks
This is my exact situation.
Came to this video for help - and it helped lots but lol why are the captions only in Korean XD
lmfao orm is real. look at accepted mcat stats. 514 asian males. want to guess what others are?
I was accepted this cycle to a US MD school with a 497.
hope shes somewhere thriving rn 🙏
She got accepted cuz of the halo effect. Super attractive
Unfortunately she never had a chance with such stats. But she looks like a good person! Good luck on your future endeavors
Thank you for uploading these
I understand that medical schools filter out negativity for professional competency purposes. Respectfully, how can medical schools claim they want diversity of thought and proceed to reject those with slightly pessimistic views? The message I get every time I watch one of these is that medical schools want applicants to BELIEVE the world is all flowers and honey bees. There can be no negative experiences unless they are somehow spinned to be positive. It is the sign of a mature adult to view issues in a measured way. Sometimes things suck. Why can’t we say that? We don’t want negative people? What is a “negative” person? Just my 2 cents.
In regards to specialties, is this program eligible for people who want non-MD type programs like physical therapy or occupational therapy?
One of the questions that she asked at the end that I'm not sure if you completely answer correctly was what if you decided not to take the HPSP scholarship in med school then Match into the specialty you want then during Residency (after you got the specialty you wanted) decide to take the Financial Assistance Program (FAP). Wouldn't this prevent the military from "having a say" in what specialty you choose. Also since the FAP has a stipend and residencies are paid won't you be able to take advantage of both?
"look at schools mission, curriculum blah blah". The reality is that we are all surviving on a vibe and a prayer through this process and just want to get accepted to ONE school. Their mission could be "take all their money" and I would say thank you see you at orientation.
Dawg people do not appreciate how fucking hard it is to get into med school if ur asian lol
this genuinely one of the worst applications I have seen other than the stats.
Optometrists are not opticians. Know what you’re talking about first 😏😏. Optometrists are doctors of Optometry and can pretty much do anything that an ophthalmologist does except for major surgeries. And some states now allow optometrists to do surgeries. So basically Optometrists are the Primary Eye Doctors and ophthalmologists are the eye surgeons.
Doing my activities right now. Thank you for the tips!
Where is she right now?
Wonder what happened
I’m also a fashion designer nontrad! I wonder how she got on
shut up bold man, just look at your self no one is listening to you yap
The guy didn't have to identify as Asian since he listed Chinese as one of his languages. This along with his name likely screamed Asian. This screams discrimination against Asians.
She should have said that she was black instead of Asian. That would have fixed it.
So, Medical Schools are essentially looking for students who can pad their resumes with bull sh*t activities and put together a compelling resume INSTEAD of looking for students who have the work ethic and mental faculties required to excel as a doctor. God forbid there is a student from a poor family who has to work a job and go to school and doesn't have time for bs social activities. Maybe this is why so many doctors suck so bad at communicating with their patients?
this is p/s passage not b/bc
Wait, is 3 gap years seen as non-trad? I’m applying this year after graduating in 2022, but thought it was pretty on par with the current stats
Thank you for your encouraging words my friend, you've helped me and many others
Ryan’s ethics down the toilet 😂 i laughed so hard
I know a woman who was in her mid thirties when she decided she was tired of being an engineer and told her husband she wanted to go to medical school. Her husband asked her if she wanted a divorce. She decided she wanted to stay married to him and went to PA school instead.
Okay, but I honestly don’t understand why research and being a physician has to be a separate thing. Physicians do research and the basis of a doctor is medical SCIENCE, SCIENCE-based medicine. I would be interested to know how to tie in your strong passion for research as to why you also want to pursue medicine. For me, research has been a strong driver because that’s where I feel I belong as a physician. I want to take care of people by not only treating them the best we currently know how, but also by contributing to the ongoing challenge of inventing new medicine, gaining new understanding of disease, to better combat chronic illnesses we face. I worry I have a ton of research hours and I do not want someone to think I don’t want to be a physician because of that, but rather I believe that drive will help me be a better physician in my desired field.
I fell in love with everything about this girl. He speaks beautifully.
this girl needs to write a book. I would read it!
Shadowing...I have so far shadowed Surgical Pathology and Physical Therapy (REALLY wanted to understand what my patients will experience and the clinical therapies they will receive.
That said, I really wan to find a good D.O. clinician to shadow and more specialties to get exposure to.
great to see another GT pre med
Wheen I furst coom froom Mexico thees one time i took a burrito hom from buffet maybes i no good fur doctors 😢
BDSM suit 😂😂
“I don’t like dialogue cause I didn’t read a lot when I was younger. It slows me down a lot.” Ok so because you are a bonehead it’s terrible for anyone to write this way? Laughable content. Had she been accepted, the video would have been spun a completely different way, guaranteed.
My school prioritizes postbac students over degree seeking
most useless explanations ever.
I’ve gained so much insight watching these videos. I love the variety of ways you address different aspects of the application process. It’s tough finding the best approach while writing these statements, but it’s important to check yourself and truly consider why you chose this!
