My Path From High School to Medical School (2020 Graduate)

👋🏻 Hi everyone! In this video, I go over my premed path/journey/process from high school and college up to medical school. Basically what I did to get into med school. I also touch on why I decided to pursue becoming a doctor, my experience with the MCAT, and how applying/interviewing to med school was. Hope it provides you with some motivation to become a doctor and gives insight on the process of how to get to medical school! Everyone has a different journey, so I hope you find this helpful if you plan on going to med school!

Such a great and helpful video. I’ve been looking for videos just like this. I’m wanting to go to med school and become a radiologist. Personally, I don’t know anyone who is a radiologist to ask questions about my career path.

[@drparisis]

I hear ya, I didn’t know what a radiologist did prior to med school

[@caitlinpurrington3857]

Thank you! This video makes me feel very capable of achieving my goals!

[@drparisis]

You’re welcome!

[@ArvindRajan]

Awesome video Dr. Parisis! Welcome to KZbin :)

[@drparisis]

thanks Arvind!

[@Michelle-eq6lt]

Can someone please explain the concept of pre-med, when do you do(is it during undergrad?) it and do i need it to become a rad?

[@meghdixit6105]

Hey Dr.Parisis, I was really intrigued by your knowledge and experience in the medical field. I would also like to pursue a career in the medical field. I am the Vice President of a school club called med connect.I was wondering if you would be willing to come to my school "virtually" on zoom, and talk about what you did in high school to be successful and figure out if you wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. Thank you so much for your time!

[@drparisis]

Sure! DM me on IG

[@mardayemane]

Can you please tell me which colleges give BS/MD to international students with high acceptance rate

[@drparisis]

No

[@samittarsingh9397]

Do medical schools accept online associates degree from community colleges

[@drparisis]

Med schools require a bachelor degree

[@samittarsingh9397]

@Dr. Parisis yes but if you get online associates degree from community college and then transfer to 4 year university for bachelors. Will they accept it

[@drparisis]

@@samittarsingh9397 not sure, probably
