great video! im watching this as an 8th grader and i've always wanted to go to umkc's 6 year bs/md med program! also what ap's should i take in high school? i will try to take ap pysch, ap seminar, ap pre calc, ap lang, apush, ao, ap chem, and ap bio. also does weighted gpa matter at all?

Set your camera up higher so it is straight on or a little above eye level. Your speaking is reasonably good, but you could perfect your voice quality. Your voice trails off and trails up as though you are questioning when in fact your are delivering a statement. Consider filming an interview with another student to share their experience.

I was just planning on doing a couple internships, along with some research and some clinical volunteering. Is it feasible to get into bs/mds and premed colleges without olympiads, or insane awards and stuff? idk, I just ain't looking to do allat. thanks for the vid tho, will be helpful down the road. wish u all the best in dallas🙏

I've talked to many of the top 10 GPA kids in my school and I've noticed that many of them deal with constant disassociation in emotion usually carrying a non emotional ultra focused mundane face. They seemed like robots and I think that many cultures like Asian and African cultures make robots instead of people with logical and critical thinking minds. I decided I'll keep a 4.0 GPA without putting 100% effort diverting some of my effort into extracurriculars instead of GPA. Overall if you do not want to read this entire text, colleges want robots and I think that is a failure of an education system, live life creatively and have FUN.

there are two types of gpa in high school. Unweighted which the max is usually 4 and is the gpa people typically talk about. While weighted is calculated differently by each school and is used for class ranking purposes. For your school, the max may be 5 but mine it could go up to 6. Hope this helps:)

I'm a medical fellow from a similar background to you. Congratulations on your GPA, it will pay off. Unfortunately the competition never stops, especially in the medical field. You'll continue to feel that you're needing to sacrifice parts of you to get ahead of the competition, and it is necessary at times. The key to balance is to be intentional when you carve out limited time/energy, and to spend it on things that are worth it such as quality friends, family, clubs, hobbies, or communities. Avoid the trap of wasting too much time on nonsense such as partying, drugs, and other vices just for the sake of FOMO.

i really wish i was more social because i see myself as an introverted extrovert in a way. i love having friends and having people to hang out with and talking to people but i tend to be very reserved and quiet. i feel like I've never really made my own friends. all my friends i can think of now are through other people or it's more so that they have come to me first. I've been trying to be more out there and talk to new people but it's just very different to me that i don't know how to. like i don't know how to make friends. i know how to talk to my current friends but i don't know how to start up a normal conversation with somebody new. and when i do, i feel like I'm annoying them or something. i don't like being the more shy person in class. it's not cute or mysterious at all. i'd much rather have fun and laugh and talk and spend my days outside with people rather than being cooped up in my room all the time, like you said. and I'm not even studying or anything. I'm just doing whatever i feel like. i wish it wasn't like that, i wish i wasn't like this. i wish that i was social and can make friends easily. and me and my family is a very complicated topic. ever since covid, it messed up me and my family's relationship. my brother and i are always in our rooms, and i try not to be but when i have nothing else to do that's where i am. and my mother is always downstairs watching tv and sleeping on the couch. and my dad is always working, even when he's got off work he's doing something for that. i feel like my family is not really a family. I've tried to spend more time with my family but my mom has mellowed out because of medication she's taking for bipolar disorder. my dad has never showed his emotions a lot; he grew up with many siblings and a single mother who had to always work to provide for her family, so he kind of raised himself and didn't always feel love that he should've. and my brother is just a guy in his room. my brother and i also grew up with screens. it's made us kind of lazy and not always doing what we're supposed to be doing or not spending time with each other. my parents are extremely lenient too, so much that i wish sometimes they'd be a little more strict, that they let my brother and i do almost anything. and i feel like I'm the only one who's even trying to help us come together. and I'm not even the parent. I'm just a kid.

Damn bruh this is really eye opening to me since the only thing I wish right now is locked in and got a 4.0. I’m pretty much in the opposite boat. Just started senior year and have a 3.0 flat rn. I went out to dinner with my family last night and completely broke down calling myself a failure of a child and how I should’ve locked in before it was too late. But my parents being the best parents ever (obvi bias) told me to 1. Accept I made the mistake and learn from it 2. Stay in the present moment and not to regret the past as it was a learning opportunity. (Kinda like you said!) 3. You just have to put pen to paper and work. That’s the only way you have success. They’re not straight up telling me to grind, they’re just saying that I order to have a positive output, you need to have that effort to put in. And 4. I almost forgot: be optimistic no matter what. Being depressed and staying in the past will do nothing good and we all know this. Ask yourself, “Ok this didn’t work, what’s next? Do I have another opportunity to redeem myself?” I feel like this can make us all stronger inside. Thanks for making this video man. All of what I just said happened last night and it seems like gods work to recommend me this video. Sure, I messed up my chances of going into a good college for freshman year, but hey! Be optimistic! I hope I really do lock in (healthily) from here on out and I wish you the best too!

Having a balanced life is important. You should allot time for study, physical, spiritual and social life. The key is to know how to maintain all those parts of life during special seasons of life, like midterms, finals etc. Don’t be discouraged about the work you put in in the past. You may look around and see a lot of people who ended up where you are right now, but did not put in as much studying in high school. The reality is that getting in is not the same thing as finishing strong. The work you did has prepared you to do more than just arrive in the first week of class. You will be finishing strong long past when others have given up. Hang in there, have fun, read the Bible every day.

Hi. Great video. I'm a MS3 here in Texas and I have to say you made some great insights. Traditional med student if that means anything to you. You are right in that the premed process can be quite stressful. Juggling classes, extracurriculars, shadowing, volunteer, studying for the MCAT, life, family, friends, research, professor relationships and/or anything I missed. But nowhere in this huge list of important application items is where you went to college. It composes 1 singular line in your application which says where your credits are from. That is it. Me personally, I went to a pretty no-name undergraduate college and I still made it as well as many of my friends. (I also have friends here in med school who graduated from UTD). I think for high school students who are interested in medicine and are wondering where to go to for college. My biggest piece of advice is to not sweat the IVY league programs, or the MS/MD programs or whatever. If you get accepted, great. But honestly, just go somewhere that you think you can be successful at. I applied to just 2 schools. UT Austin and the place I ended up going to. I figured that Ivy League was just not in the books for me given my SAT and resume. And I felt that everywhere else was pretty much equivalent, in terms of 'prestige'. (There are nuances to this. Eg. UT affiliated med schools tend to accept a lot from UT Austin. BUT, that could just be because they have high volume). So I thought about it and I felt that I would get lost and lose focus at UT Austin. The smaller school (<1500 total students) just fit my vibe better. (It also was likely easier to distinguish myself). I'm not gonna say that smaller schools are better. They just fit my personality better and provided an environment best suited for me. For others, going to a large university brings its own advantages. Networking, opportunity, community. The takeaway is to please consider all the aspects of a college and reflect on who you are as a person and what you want out of a school. And please remember, its what you do in college that matters. My HS stats (Grad in 2018): 1350 SAT, ~3.9 GPA, 4/350ish in class. UIL COMP SCI + SCIENCE. NHS. Literally like 30 hrs of volunteering. 7 AP courses with all 4s. Yeah, not the most outstanding app is it.

So a 4.0 GPA basically means you had all As in high school. your weighted GPA is calculated with grades you receive from each class all weighted differently depending on the difficulty of the class. while ur unweighted gpa is just ur standard 4.0 scale gpa. but keep in mind that different schools have diff ways of calculating. hope this helps!

I did a research paper on how financial aid is fueling the price increase for colleges. The game became more favorable for low income and high income vs middle income students because middle income families dont qualify for as many financial aids vs low income and less likely to donate large sums of moneys like how high income do it. The real tier list of who has the hardest time getting in and affording school is middle income, low income, and high income. And with regards to student debt, alot of it will ruin the student future. If the debt is higher than your salary, your aggregate income will be the same as someone who got a 2 year A.S degree for at least 6 years. If you pay minimum balance only, it would take 20 years to over come an A.S degree. This is horrible.

I semi agree. I do feel like that there could be some feeling that some American universities do have some flaws, but I don’t think of college admissions is trying to be “rigged.” I think universities are trying to give everyone an equal opportunity not trying to supress the ones that have had an advantage. I really like math since it’s straight forward most of the time and I feeling like english course really require a lot of focus, patience, and not really any area to fidget with so I don’t like it so much, so take advanced math courses but I someday hope to go into orthopedics but I am a little scared about how long it would take. Also I have been hearing so many people dis African Americans on the internet that they get more cause they are Black including a better chance of getting into university completely ignoring the fact that once upon a time we couldn’t even step foot into universities. And they are complaining about us “stealing their jobs” and the only reason why we get our jobs are “because we’re Black.” Which may be true but it’s also true that African Americans have had to work 2x as hard to get anywhere. And a lot of videos are saying that universities are racist against Asians when they didn’t get in but there are BIGGER problems with African American racism that isn’t being addressed. So when I hear about college admissions being rigged, I think about this. I am not trying to be rude or anything but I just want to address this.
