These deans are so funny and open! So fun to hear their take on the admissions process 😊

[@Medschoolcoach]

We were so glad to partner with you on this! We can't wait until next year's! 👍

This made me feel better about starting my journey at 26. I'm about halfway to my associates degree at the moment.

[@kevingrisler4123]

I'm in the same boat at 28 👍

Have you ever considered that if you create an extremely thorough selection process, you'll get a bunch of very similar people?

[@pathtopmr]

This is so helpful for pre-medical students!!!

Doug Taylor accent is so soothing to listen to

“Someone that would take care of my wife and daughter?” That is big.

When Dr. Goodell finished off with "Do what you love and do what is right for you" In my head I said "No, I am sorry I reject that answer. It's too boring"

These admission officers show precisely what is wrong with our medical school admissions process. A classic example is getting letters of recommendation or shadowing or research opportunities. In many cases you need to be from an established or well heeled family. It is really pathetic!

[@jordanamaya-flores8786]

Even volunteering. I assumed you just walk in and places want you help, but they have applications and want recommendations. I have to prove myself worthy to help them

This channel was made for me (a premed obsessed with corgis)! Very much a hidden gem. Thanks for this useful video and I’m looking forward to checking out more of your content

[@whitecoatsandcorgis]

That is so kind, thank you! 💞

Do admission committees care if you did undergrad from a small college or a bigger university. I recently graduated high school and I have two choices, I can go with full scholarship to a smaller less reputable college versus a bigger college where I have to spend 20k a year? I am premed.

[@ErmaHurricane]

maybe if its an ivy league, but if its like a state school it doesn't matter, at least in my opinion. Most people dont care where you get your degree from, they just care that you have it.

[@timwong580]

Don’t let them slip thru the cracks.

[@timwong580]

Know what? What about research vlogs in addition to md vlogs!

Doug Taylor is not telling the truth. ETSU states on their website that they give honorably separated Veterans application preference. In this interview, he stated they very much like people who served in the military. However, neither is true. I applied during the 23-24 cycle and wasn't even given a secondary application. I have three degrees in three separate fields (300+ credit hours), 26K+ hours as a laboratory technologist, 4.5K hours research, ~1500 patient contact hours, leadership awards from the military, led Soldiers, shadowing, etc. I'm an older, disabled Veteran too. When I called ETSU to ask why I didn't receive a secondary, Doug told me none of what I had on application was competitive (including my military service).

What was your GPA and MCAT score?

[@junkaccount2535]

[@BoxOfCurryos]

Thank you for your service, sorry this happened to you

[@jessicarivera4302]

If your stats were high then it was likely your personal statement that probably made them deny you. I have noticed that ppl who have high stats and amazing experiences get denied because they couldn’t express why they wanted to be a doctor in their PS or just focus on the “wrong” things to talk about.

[@j.p9155]

1) were you able to write your military experience that most civilians will understand? 2) was your GPA/mcat high enough? 3) ETSU is a vet feeder school. Tons of veterans applied to that school. Were you a 75th? Green beret? Ranger tabbed? Sapper? EFMB? Officer? 4) three degrees from where? AMU?? Or a reputable school?
