College Vs Medical School 

Agreed! Also, my siblings and I love your channel too Shawn! Following your SMU journey

Wow - thank you! Means a lot

Thanks for all the support Manpreet!

Thank you!!

There are some schools whose through the year tests come from USMLE test makers! But like Anne D the main consensus is def to prepare yourself

Thank you so much (: I also DM'ed you about something fitness related and would really appreciate it if you had the time to respond!!

To be honest, I thought that was an odd comment. Not sure if she meant in terms of what they teach or what they provide you with resource wise. ALL medical schools teach you what you should know to prepare for boards. Yes you have to study on your own but that doesn't mean that the school doesn't prepare you. If you look at any syllabus for any med school class, they usually say what education goals should be met with each lecture relevant to topics that are tested on USMLE.

Every school has different curriculums, just like every undergraduate college biology class will. To give a specific example, some medical schools will focus on certain histologies more than others, etc. There's no doubt there is variation in school curriculums and some do "prep" you more than others for the USMLE in their curriculum just like some undergraduate school biology, chemistry classes prep you "better" for the MCAT. The variation may not be hugely significant, cause you do have to study on your own but it does exist. That's what I meant! :) Harman, shaman and i have conversations about it all the time, based on the different medical schools they attend and where I'm interviewing! :)

Thank you and good luck!

Thank you!

Loveleen Kaur lol that made me laugh so much 😂

4 years!

Dd .Ee . owkei thank u

Normally 4, but ofc you can graduate early if you come in with APs and extra credits and you are dedicated and consistent throughout your undergrad!

+Polina Sterkhova I already made a note taking video if you want to check it out! I'm also planning to make a more in depth and specific video with examples like powerpoints in the future on notes!

Sorry was just a lil confused

i just meant, the environment would be similar, youd know your teachers more intimately, deans more intimately etc :)

For me it varies. If the next semester has something I am going to have trouble with, I usually spend some of my time preparing for that. Other times I just chill and do things I like to refresh my mind!

Biology I think

+Thiviya Ravikkumar I actually didn't take physics in high school! I didn't because I already filled my schedule with other things and I dont find it the most interesting subject. I think I learned it on my own during a summer but it definitely isn't something you need in high school. If you like physics and/or are good at it, then take physics. Otherwise it won't hurt to replace it with another class. Either way you aren't required to use it much, its really not a factor in applications, and learning it in high school vs college for the first time is probably similar. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help 😊

+Erick Alvarez Thank you for the kind words and yes will definitely make that video in the future! There are a couple video I want to make before that but yes definitely will address all of those questions!

She's 20 I think??? Don't quote me lol.
