Love this! I’m a 30 year old mother to 2 young kids (6 and 4), studying for the mcat, and finishing my last semester of my masters. It’s a lot but my husband is very supportive!

[@Badbinch]

This is so beautiful 😊

[@scraps_4500]

How did you do? I’m in a similar situation but don’t know how I will pass my MCAT 🥺

[@YesMemiji]

❤keep going! You can do this!

[@SarahTambz]

Wow I’m planing to start at 31 with 2 kids and supportive family, How did it go ?!

[@Mindovermatter1987]

Awesome

[@theluxjones9904]

Still in undergrad at age 29, but this just gave me more motivation to keep pushing to make it to med school.

[@Letstalk-zx7jx]

I havent even started undergrad and im 32 , your fine .

[@Priyanka.Aarya77]

*Rooting for you*

[@BelieveLoveLive92]

I’m aspiring. Didn’t think that I can do it with all of my self doubt, being 32 years old with a husband and two toddlers… now, I see that anything is possible. Thank you for posting this.

[@IROH-pu8dy]

No more videos. Please update us on where you are and how are you doing?

[@ibnmusaa]

This is great, as a single dad still trying to get into med school i appreciate the blueprint.

[@Jylane2012]

I'm 31, quickly approaching 32, and am starting my premed courses next month. I have some college years under my belt from over a decade ago but I'm still nervous. I will be continuing to work full-time as a postpartum doula and have four young kiddos so I expect to be very busy. This video and many comments make me feel a bit less alone. Thanks for that!

[@plutobaby9996]

So glad I stumbled upon your vid man, I’m a new nurse but ever since I began my journey I felt like I was leaving something on the table (becoming a doc) and seeing you making it with all your responsibilities I think there’s no excuse for me not to at least try

[@glenburua4634]

Am aspiring to pursue medicine and this is the best video I have seen so far. So encouraging. Thank you sir.

[@AgEcon-World]

me too, I am glad to hear that it's possible

[@KpopNmore]

Thanks so much for sharing I really want to get into med school, but of course all the life responsibilities make me so guilty.. and even though it’s my dream career, my priority is having a good family and a baby, which seem very conflicting ideas. But finding another person who’s done all these, while taking care of the family priority, it gives me so much hope

[@colbydion9542]

This is my exact situation! I’m going for it! And I already work from home! Perfect!

[@katemorrison9227]

I’m 37 and I am pursuing a medicine degree. I work full time have bills and a mortgage. I really want to do this, but I am worried how I am going to make this work. Hopefully I get accepted, I am focusing on doing the subjects to meet the prerequisites. Please do a video that help mature students get into medicine. So courses or extra curricular activities we can do that help us get in. Hoping my completed degree in social work helps me to get in.

[@haleyyork5047]

So glad you’re almost done with med school!!! 😃 I miss going to the gym so much, but I’m so glad y’all are doing good!!! 😊

[@frankroberson641]

Hey Haley! We all miss you too!

[@Ryan-tx8qc]

I’m 22 and my GPA is bad and I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I’d try to run myself into the wall over and over to study but I’m able to have many other attributes that I’m very successful in. I just am not sure where to go to increase that GPA (post baccs and such) but seeing other people successful won’t this takes my mind from “is this still possible?” To “this is incredibly possible.”

[@Trashcreep]

just do. dont think. just do

[@chideraagugo517]

Man I tell you, this spoke to me more than you realize. I appreciate you.

[@ATVtherapy]

Glad to watch this! I’m going for radiography right now but after I finish the program I’m going to start pre med.

[@cashflowtv6127]

Thanks for this. Now at 32 and also a vet, this is motivating.

[@SneetchDreams]

Hi brother 7 years in the Corps here. I hope you’re doing well. I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but if you do, I was hoping I could pick your brain for a bit. I’m 30 and looking to go to med school but hoping to start a family with my girlfriend here in the next five years. I would like to do it outside of the military system if possible. Would love to just hear some more advice. Let me know. Thank you for these videos they help. 🙏🏽 Semper Study

[@frankroberson641]

Let me know if you need elaboration, explanation, or more videos about some of this stuff right here!!!! Please like and subscribe! Thanks guys!

[@superher13]

Literally this is helping me in medical school lmfaooo. POST PLS WHEN IN MED SCHOOL.

[@frankroberson641]

Weekly!

[@EvidenceBasedMedsin]

Did the same thing! Worked EMS, 3 kids and a wife (30 years) It’s possible and you’ll be successful MD

[@vvcc1450]

Your video is very helpful, thanks for posting your story. I feel so anxious wanting to get back to school but not sure how to make it happen.

[@ms.penguin6252]

Hello, I am graduating my ASN. I think I want to finish my BSN and then go back to school for med school. I can work 12 hours a week as PRN. I can do it once a week for 4 times a month or I can group all four shifts. Does that sound doable?

[@YungFetii901]

It sounds like if you want to go to Med school next year and you have No Volunteer experience you’ll have to wait another two years just to build that experience up alone.

[@jordanschmidt9772]

did you take your prerequisites online or at a community college? I'm trying to figure out how to best take classes while working full time.

[@frankroberson641]

I actually took at both! My schedule wouldn’t allow some classes to be taken at my main college campus so I was dual enrolled at a local community college. Should’ve mentioned that!!

[@veronicasarabia3821]

I am sure I have adhd. Also I am right brain 🧠. Can people who are more creative study medicine? I am extremely visual. I studied accounting which is for left brain people but I didn’t like it at all , I just did it for my parents. However I have 3 years full time working as a hemodialysis patient care technician but the hours I just can’t handle anymore 4am to 6pm. So thinking about working as a nanny to save some money for med school ( since I love working with kids 😅) Also , can I volunteer teaching English and Spanish? I always loved learning a second language and it is very easy for me to learn a language. Currently studying Italian and interesting in learning German 😊.

[@razanmadani266]

Very inspiring i am in a similar position as a female with a full time job atm going into med school soon. And evaluating which job should i prepare my self to go with once i start med school. Bartending goes against my religious beilifs. I wish i can find something similar that has money and flexible. Unfortunately dont know much about cars. Any ideas of similar flexi jobs that can bring in enough money whilst juggling a degree.

[@veronicasarabia3821]

Same situation! I can’t do Bartender because I am Christian. But what about nanny? They could pay up to $30 if you have years experience!

[@samuelbishara5986]

Become a server it’s the same as being a bartender but for food

[@maxgms7637]

At what age did you start med school?

[@Homjjjjhgffc]

Thank my friends ❤

[@valenboby]

Your video is so encouraging! Thank you!

[@WalkinOnWaterWitHim]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Dr. Roberson

[@frankroberson641]

Trying to be! Wish me luck.

[@elenakim6589]

What’s the first step for someone who is looking to change careers but my entire undergrad and graduate degree has nothing to do with medicine? Study for the MCAT? Take pre-requisites at a community college? Something else?

[@cleochikukwa7162]

Did you get a response on this?

[@fatiie]

As long as you have a Bachelors degree, all you would need to do is take all of the premed specific courses and take the MCAT. You can have a bachelors degree in any subject as long as you've also taken all of the premed courses and completed the MCAT. You may want to look into volunteering hours or clinical volunteer hours as well. For specific details on the exact classes you need, you should look up different medical schools that you plan on applying to and read up their admissions requirements on their website. They outline the premed courses they want you to have taken and the number of semesters in each subject they want. You should take these premed courses at your local community College.

[@rogerpolidor428]

Thanks for this video.

[@Ahn-mu3db]

This is so random but you have really nice eyes. You have a nice eye shape! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@captaincrunch5507]

Respect!

[@chriselbert333]

[@frankroberson641]

[@albertomartin9243]

[@jeffreybowden5425]

[@frankroberson641]

[@TheSunshinefee]
