Great information. Background music makes it hard to hear and understand what the speakers are talking. Small suggestion. Hope you take it well! Keep rocking
Hi! It’s so random that I stumbled across your channel! I go to penn state (currently a sophomore) and I want to go to medical school. Penn state truly has something for everyone! I was going to apply to the BS/MD and had the stats for it but I did not have the money for undergrad and med school. I instead applied to MSP and got in (I got a full ride, room board and tuition) and I’m glad that this is the route that I pursued being that I won’t have debt. However, my laboratory research partner is actually in your program and we always discuss how crazy it is that we both want to become physicians, but are on totally different paths that we both really value. I’m also a small RU-vidr too so it’s nice to “virtually meet you!”. Happy New Year and good luck with all your future endeavors!
The med school near my uni seems to disfavor those with family members in medicine because their desire to become a doctor is likely pushed on them by family. I didnt know the legacy thing extended to med school.
Im a freshman in high school and I am taking 5 AP classes this year: AP world, AP Art History, AP psychology, AP Comp Science Principals, and AP Chemistry. I’m also taking Spanish 2, La 9, and trig/pre calc. I have 97s and 100s in all of my classes but my La 9 score is a 92. I also had a very bad test score in AP chemistry (50%) and that dropped my grade down to an 80. It’s the end of the quarter and my grades are locked in. I guess my question really is what was your lowest test score and do you think I’ll still get into a BSMD program even with my bad grades?
I’m entering my senior year of high school in about a month and I just realized bs md programs existed from lit all the asian kids from my research programs rn
I didn't do research in high school and I'm regretting it rn as I apply for colleges, dont wish such a situation on anyone else. So what you do is really just straight up email professors. Get a list of bs/mds or top schools you wanna apply to. Research the values/research of particular professors at the instiutions. Prepare a persuasive email format and spam them to like a 100 professors. Remember each of them gets flooded with similar emails. Be prepared to face a lot of rejection or just no response. But I guarantee one door will open. Even if it doesnt, there are many opportunities left. Just never give up and set your sign on the goal, whatever that may be. Gl.
@@mranderson1635 rankings lmao search up BSMd rankings. Acceptance rate too. Competitiveness. And how hard it is and to stay in the program as well. Less than 3 percent acceptance
I have a question. So my 2 uncles and 2 cousins attended the pennstate bsmd program, the one ur attending. Does the program count uncles/aunts and cousins as legacy? Also, I’m rlly close w my extended family, we all live in the same neighborhood, or 5 mins aeay
well, I didn't do any rsearch at all but for most of them it was likely benchwork/ wetlab at their local colleges. This probably involved cold emailing professors and then maybe counting cells and stuff.
