Everything You Need to Know About Being a Pre-Med 

One thing I absolutely HATE is when people say "of the 10 of you here, only 2 will make it". Terrible way to build confidence in students. I'm part of a very niche pre-med program in Canada and since our pathology prof said that, there's been intense competition and animosity in the program. Please stop stating the obvious. It's not helping anyone.

After having completed undergrad as a premed student and currently studying for my mcat I appreciate his emphasis on the amount it is going to take. While I was aware going in how long it would be, it did not hit me until about 4 years in. For whoever is watching this before starting school, pre-med is a series of highs and lows. One week you will ace an exam in biochem and the next week youre on the cusp of failing. What I wish someone had told me going into this was the toll on my mental health. Account for that at all times and prioritize it all costs. The road is long and can easily demoralize you at every turn. Stand strong with conviction. I only wish to help people, but the road is long, and I’m sure others want to as well. If you don’t end up getting to the end of the tunnel don’t let your heart harden. There are several different roads to helping people and making money. Continue on and live the life you were destined to. If you do make it in, good on you, utilize your privilege to be the best doctor you can be. We all have our own reasons and thought processes, at the end being content and spending a life worth living and being happy should be your ultimate goal. -2 cents from an Arab Pre-med student Best of luck to everyone

Starting college next fall as a premed. And I have to say this was very informative.

I really appreciate this video. I’m currently in undergrad, and I plan to go on to study anesthesiology. I’m aiming to be a competitive med school applicant. This video helped to much!

This is helping me so much, especially with the fact that I am just starting this path. Thank you so much!

I am lucky enough to have 2 people In my family that went through this process and also interviewed people. They already started talking to me about things that would help me get into med school. It is scary to think about, but I know I can do it.

i just got into college with a double degree. I needed this. Love it, it really motivates me and tells me what i need to do. Very helpful.

Loved this! Thank you so much for your amazing resources

if it's a calling, no one can stop you from it. no one.

You have a lot going for you and that’s great you are educating others. I’m not a doctor (a speech pathologist) and you’re doing a great thing. Thank you!

Thank you for this, I am about two and half years out from applying and it is nice to know what I need to be doing right now to make my application desired. Thank you

So informative thank you so much ❤

Im on track to have 300+ clinical hours as an EMT by the time I graduate high-school!! So excited to start my journey to medical school! Right now my dream is to be an OB-GYN!!!

This video was so informative. Thank you! I start college this fall and hopefully, I'll be in med school in the next couple of years. Thanks for all the tips.

You'd think everyone would already know they're going to be in debt from med school... idk why everyone thinks that will shock us. Obviously we look into the career before choosing it. I think that mcat thing is crap, I see tons of people who only have a 490 mcat score and a 3.5 gpa and they get into med school. Stop telling everyone they're not going to get in! That's what's keeping them from getting in.

THANK YOU!

This video is soo helpful! Thank you so much!!!!!

Where can I get a list of classes for sample semesters through medical school?

Dude, I've never heard an interventional radiologist call themselves an endovascular surgeon.

Not even interested in going to led school but I have a month break before going into my healthcare administration program and am bored af

I start premed in a week and I’m shitting bricks I’m so scared.

Because of this stupid COVID crap a lot of hospitals are pausing their programs. I can’t sit around so I’m doing eShadowing, I hope it counts 🤞🏼

I'm considering going back to school for pre-med. I already feel behind since I'm 25. I have a degree in theatre performance and then I wanted to join the police for a few years. After recent events in my personal life, I've decided to go to school to be a psychiatrist. I'm mainly worried about the money aspect of it. I'm worried that I'm going to get into all of this debt and then not be able to go to med school and have no way to pay it back. I certainly couldn't pay it back on a police officer's salary and by that time, I'd probably be too old to join the police anyways.

Is it really tough for international students to get admission to medical school ?

WHAT. Taking the MCAT 11 times???? I thought you can only take it twice

How many AP’s do I need to take for studying medical science?

People in this comments have doubts etc... I get it it’s scary. However I know that I will never be happy not being a trauma surgeon. That is my goal and I cannot see myself doing anything else. That’s why all of this is worth it

Please take your own time while teaching

The ups driver comparison with a doctor it is comparing apples to bananas. I was an uber driver making 80k the year and now I’m a premed student and you don’t have the remote idea on how much miserable an uber or ups driver can be. Accidents are the highest risk in our line of job, I got 2 that ended up in surgeries.

Somebody get that poor girl some water 😭

Hello, i'm a high school student and i'm an Indonesian 👋 How if i finished my undergraduate program in my country, but i didn't do any pre-med program as long as my undergraduate life. But i want to go to the USA and apply to medical school. So what should i do to take pre-med program? Can i just apply to school/college for 1 year pre-med? Or i should retake my undergraduate program with pre-mad program in the USA? Hope you replay this, thank you.

Not everyone is suited to be a doctor. There are other great professions out there for you all. Just do your own research, travel the world, and you’ll find your calling.

This is just for people under the age of 30

Don't listen to this guy, he's literally trying to sell you his coaching. That's why he's trying to scare you with all this, he has insane bias and should not be trusted as an authority on the subject. He is a salesman.
