How I Got a Full Ride to Medical School

[@shrinkelizabeth]

Girllll. We have identical composite MCAT scores, and I was literally watching this video yesterday thinking, "Wow, that's awesome, but it'll never happen to me because I don't have ECs as good as hers and am not the best interviewer." Today, I got a call from the school where I was recently accepted saying I was getting a full scholarship. It's like coming across your video the day before was a sign. I have a 3.96 GPA, so we have almost identical stats. :D

[@clair233]

Well done 🤗

[@aw8758]

Not sure why you guys are shocked she had a 3.98 gpa. In her previous videos she always says she is a straight A student. Get it girl !beautiful and fabulous and intelligent

[@selenacelina3691]

3.98 ?! omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@annaslovesyou]

omg I literally remembered watching you since i was like in middle school and now i just finished up my sophomore year at UNLV and i saw that youre graduating from college and going to med school here as well? you're literally so blessed, i hope i get into the med school here cause it literally looks so awesome. Seriously congrats!!!

[@ChristopherSchorr]

Hey Sabrina, I just wanted to say congrats on getting into medical school! Your videos of preparing for school really helped me in high school and truly changed the way I think about learning. Right now, I am actually in college as a pre-med in Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry. I would have never been the student I am today without your tips. I am thankful for your advise and for your continued dedication to help others!

[@nfina1186]

congratulations, getting a full ride is crazy exciting! Now that you are done with your biochem degree can please do a video on giving advice to specifically biochem majors like study tips and strategies to obtain a high GPA in those rigorous sciences courses. Also good luck in medical school!!

My brother got a full ride scholarship to Johns Hopkins medical school. Congrats on yours. We're Romanian as well. My parents went back to school to get their degrees after they came to America. My dad was a mechanical engineer too and got another master's degree in civil engineering in the states. Funny how similar our family's lives are.

[@tudorarada46]

David Wait, she's Romanian? Și eu sunt :)

[@ncide]

Salut!

[@davidantonie1973]

Romanians are out here killing it. HAI ROMANIA

[@ZombiePenorCancer]

john hopkins is great and getting a degree from there will open so many doors for him. good job

[@dami9037]

Hi david! Pls can you give any tips on how your brother got a full ride into JHU SOM?

[@anshulanugu3188]

The entire medical class received the scholarship.

[@zhizhixoxo]

Anshul Anugu wait really??

[@whitneyjordan14]

Yeah. The school is brand new and not accredited yet. So since you run the risk of graduating from a medical school that may not become accredited (which if they didn't would screw you), they're letting their first class of students attend for free as incentive. I had a friend also accepted to this school.

[@WhatTechShow]

LOL. what a fail of a video then...

[@WhatTechShow]

What school is it?

[@raquelcan787]

really? :0

[@littlemisstapdance]

I don't know whether its because we are like the same age in the same levels of college, but I feel SO excited for you and your journey, having watched from the beginning I feel like somehow I've been through the highs and lows with you. Please keep making content when you can even though you will be incredibly busy, there is so much room on KZbin for educated people and demistifying the process of med school and grad school etc. I'm so weirdly proud of you and so excited for this next stage!

[@GenZGrandma]

OMG that's AMAZING! I didn't know your parents were engineers! Really cool to learn, I'm studying engineering too :). Dedication to go back to school and study it all over again! I originally wanted to go down the med/dental school route but I'm glad I am studying engineering now. I'm so glad you get to pursue your dream and all while not having the financial burden of it. OMG 13 Reasons Why is soooooo good!!!! I binged it too but had to take some breaks bc it's soooo INTENSE. Much love from Canada xx

[@amberlong2788]

wow. it is so amazing to see how much progress you have made since I watched your first video about 5 years ago. you are truly amazing. your hard work and dedication has finally payed off! i am so happy for you. i wish you all the success in the world.

[@n.k.610]

If this isn't motivation enough to work hard, then I don't know what is. Sabrina, I'm sure that you will be a competent and trustworthy doctor with patients who are compfortable to talk to you. I'm glad that I've found your channel years ago because you never fail to motivate me.

[@JacobKuba]

extra curriculars are more about who you know

[@courtneyf5497]

It wasn't luck that got you your full ride, it was your worth ethic and dedication to your education that got you your full ride! Congrats Sabrina, you are literally goals!

[@laurajohnson9707]

I think she meant that she got lucky because it was a new school so they were giving out full rides in order to get accreditation. It would've been difficult with those scores to get a full ride to an established and accredited medical schools. Her scores were great, but for medical school is not enough to get a full ride.

[@havefaith2016]

So so happy for you. I remember watching your first day of college video. Wow. Wishing the absolute best, Sabrina.

[@mireyahernandez7131]

congrats!!!!! you are such a hard worker and you deserve it. I love these videos because they are such a motivation.

[@hizzyp3179]

congrats !!!!! can you post a video on how you study for your courses ??

[@keishawnroye5067]

3.98!?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Isn't she awesome?!

[@allen254]

2.7 to 3.3 GPA is B average, anything above 3.3 is an A average. she did amazing 3.9 is a great GPA

[@1KealeCade]

a 3.7 is a A- GPA, 3.8 A, 3.9 A, 4.0 A+ GPA a 3.3GPA is a B- GPA

[@allen254]

2.7 is B-,, and this assuming that your school grades by low and high grades.

[@mizzum478]

4.0 in double major of chem E and bio E... asian Didn't get a dime.

[@pianorocks228]

is this UNLV? aren't they offering a full-ride to everyone in their inaugural class cuz they're a brand new school?

[@malekayoub2041]

afowiefj aiejfw I think so too. 509 and 3.98 still won't get a full ride scholarship. Everyone has volunteering and all that. I think its a new med school plus good connections she has

[@swarleyyyy8206]

afowiefj aiejfw What's UNLV ?? is this the university Sabrina is going to ?? And it's the first batch of the medical school ?

[@HS-ie8tj]

Yes- from what I know it is a new medical school and thus is relatively desperate, for lack of a better word, for good students.

[@swarleyyyy8206]

H W that's bad ! I kinda lost my awe of the scholarship ! :(

[@HS-ie8tj]

No! It's an amazing achievement! It's not akin to a full scholarship at an established med school but the opportunity is incredible.

[@sarahharwell]

I'm so proud of what you have accomplished and wish you the best in medical school :') its also so sweet that you still answer questions that people ask, you're so genuine

[@michaelfu5083]

Sabrina, Thank you for the video. I'm a first year student who is struggling with what to major in. I'm interested in medical field and had some volunteer experience, but I have never though about there are so much neat little things that one can do and ultimately get a full scholarship from it. Though it might not be your original goal or expected when you did all those works, I just want to say congratulations on getting into the medical school as well as the scholarship and thank you for sharing these with us. :)

[@dorantheriault6914]

Congrats you definitely deserve it since you've worked hard for it and totally deserve it. Keep on working hard and you'll do amazing and can't wait to watch( not in a creepy way) you and see where this incredible journey takes you

[@newlifenewplan]

Congratulations!!! This is great news for you. Continue to work hard and this is a blessing!

[@444zane3]

dat 3.98 tho :o

[@DoctorNikkiP]

That work ethic though

[@haleyhibachi5814]

444zane3 Two girls at my high school have GPA's of 4.5

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Haley Hibachi that is great, but GPA in college is pretty different from GPA in high school

[@haleyhibachi5814]

JoyfishXO Oh.

[@cathleenhollon8303]

JoyfishXO it is so much more difficult in college to obtain that high of a GPA. idk why you are downplaying lol

[@molldog1410]

I'm so proud of you sabrina!! It makes me emotional because I've been watching you for so long, I hope that you have an excellent time at med school!!

[@denni196m]

So proud of you!! I've been watch you since you were in high school. I'm glad you have final accomplished your dream!

[@marisa768]

Congratulations Sabrina!!! You will make such an amazing doctor :)

[@laurenschoeller244]

How long did you shadow with the doctors (i.e., was it just for 1 day, a few weeks, etc)? I'm interested in being an orthopaedic surgeon. What was your ortho shadow like?

[@musicxluv101]

Congratulations! And yes please do the personal statement video it would help a lot! :)

[@ashleynieto1005]

Congratulations!!! I'm currently feeling down about my practice exam but watching your videos is keeping me motivated. :)

[@ZombieProdigyUS]

My first semester I got 11 A's and one B which really pissed me off because it was one shy of the yearly 4.0 😞

[@DeliaSerene]

I want God to give me your work ethic and determination

[@minttea8947]

oliz98 or just do it and not wait for it to fall into your lap???

[@slmx0sm]

That is amazing news, Sabrina. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your process and tips.

[@abbyescobar7201]

oh my goodness I remember watching your billa bong what's in my backpack video when u were still in high school. this is crazy. congrats

[@dianacirlescu4631]

Its crazy because my life story is so close to yours! Im first generation Romanian aswell and I have a friend who has inspired me to go to Med school... Its so cool to see how your dreams became true!!

[@jessicak2530]

Sabrina I see you as my big sister that I never had! I have been following your journey of 'life' on KZbin for almost 3 years now. I am so happy for you and you deserve all the success. My dream has always been to be a doctor in the future and your videos are really motivational. I will be starting college next year and I have always looked up to you and Alex. Love your Christmas vlogs, together they are my youtube tradition. Have a great day xx

[@reliciouseboh644]

you are goals😭 congratulations!! a personal statement video would be nice!!

[@thatmusiclover1750]

My friend got a free ride to Harvard cause she did volunteering , job , did volleyball and basketball and has done 12 ap classes like 7 honors and took three Spanish classes and three French classes and got honor roll for four years and perfect attendance and was in beta club and key club plus got almost a perfect score of sat

[@drewwebster1524]

Music Lover thts for undergrad... not Harvard med school

[@BoraViolin]

None of the Ivies give full scholarships. I don't know why this myth is continually perpetuated. They only give grants based on family income. If your family makes less than 60k you essentially go for free. Google it. It is a fact. My daughter goes to an Ivy so I know from personal experience. Again there are no full scholarships at any of the Ivies.

[@dfgchengc]

No scholarships for ivy’s?

[@user-hq6gt6wr9k]

Congrats, that is absolutely amazing! I'm applying to med school this cycle and I'm praying I can tell the word news like what you've shared today :)

[@lifewithtere]

Hey! I just wanted to say your such an inspiration! Keep doing what you do and please keep inspiring us (because I know I'm not the only one.) God bless and hope the best for you!❤❤

[@Varisaramkissoon]

please do a school organization video

[@utubeloverfan]

Are you still going to be on youtube once you start medical school?

[@youas_memoir]

utubeloverfan she have to! if not, I'm unsubscribing lol

[@jenjencurls]

utubeloverfan there are actually a lot of med students posting youtube videos regularly, so it's possible lol

[@dfgchengc]

Yeah unsubscribe!!!

[@esmeda68]

Congrats Sabrina! Thank you for sharing, you are so inspiring!

[@thebeautywithin702]

Omg I have an almost identical sweater! It's just the sleeves by the wrists are different

GURL!! Congratulations!!! You EARNED THAT!!!

[@diamondhiggins6714]

How did you integrate your culture into your med school application? Personal statement? Secondary app? Interview?

[@onelittleskittle6421]

you deserve it ♥️♥️♥️you go girl!

[@AkshayPatel18252]

Congrats! Most MD/PhD programs are also full-ride, but they are slightly more competitive than standard MD programs, and require significant research experiences.

[@Mango037]

Congrats!!! You definitely earned it! Love your attitude. You're going to be a great doctor, keep it up girl! 👍🏼👏🏼 You're an inspiration to many like myself

[@adrianan8098]

Haha! my mom has a similar story like your parents. She is also from Romania and got a degree in Chemistry there. When she came here, she got a degree in Chemical engineering and education! Felicitari tie (:

[@angelthefairy0101]

Omg! This is so weird, i used to watch your videos back in 2013/14 era and haven't watched since i forgot the password for my old account and now i was just searching for medical school stuff and this video popped up!

Did she say a 3.98 GPA?

[@knguyen1421]

bro. gpa isn't even dick measuring at top med schools. like everyone has a 3.90+ for the most part.

[@Shanikaish1]

I'm really happy for you Sabrina :)

[@cilva7able]

Is the Medical College Admissions Test harder than the United States Medical Licensing Exam?

[@seapinkoyster]

I don't think so. But the two exams are about basically completely different topics. MCAT is about the basic sciences and critical thinking. MCAT is a just a baseline. USMLE is testing everything you ever learned in medical school, critical thinking, and clinical application. The good thing about USMLE is that most people pass it, meaning if you get a competitive enough MCAT to get into a medical school, chances are you will mass the USMLE, but that's not a guarantee that you will get a competitive USMLE score to match into your desired specialty. I will say that the USMLE subjects are much more interesting and fun compared to the MCAT though.

where is your sweater from?? so cute

[@chubbybunnyisfunny20]

So, when did u relax? You did research, volunteered, and worked and did school. Where did you find time?

[@merounelorelei2951]

I want to put my hobbies, but they don't sound eye-catching. I like drawing, almost like a graphic novel type thing? A lot of the time, it's educational, at least in school. But I do draw scary and tragic ones. I do novels and I like Fashion and Medical illustration. I collect books and dolls (glass dolls in particular) I don't feel like I'm much different than the others in many regards. The only differences is possibly my health related personal experience. I'm also kinda scared to get into leadership roles. I want to make an organization...but I'm a bit scared to

[@karawebb1204]

You are so inspiring!❤

[@universalgirl101]

Could you please please do a video about how you got such a high gpa. I'm going to be a freshman in university and I'm really worried. I also want to pursue medicine but I heard it's extremely hard to do well in your first year due to competition and the tough transition between highschool and university. Thank you so much 😊

[@sheilatapia3031]

Thanks you for you and your videos 😊💕

Is your research lab part of ur undergrad school? Like do you just ask a professor or something to join their research?
