My Summer Internship at Stanford University

[@moonboons]

Omg pls do a video about your internship application!!

[@cat-kj9qw]

the vlogs are probably still my fav (esp at brown with michelle and jenny) but i think the best types of videos are ones that incorporate both the vlog style and the random talking bits

[@kiratraylor4900]

“People don’t regret failure, they regret not seizing opportunities.” I LOVE THAT

[@annylin2554]

As a high school student, I haven’t seen a lot about research, intern, shadowing advice for prospective med students, so I’d really appreciate one!

[@claireh4204]

im going into my freshman year of college in august and this video really motivated me to get involved and to start seeking out opportunities, rather than just waiting on them to approach me. also, i really like your sit down videos where you give advice. you're so well spoken and i am always inspired by your successes!!! great video x

[@MayGao]

You’re ahead of the game!! Thank you this was really kind :)

[@juliaa1855]

I'd love to hear more about being pre-med in general! Like what classes you're taking when to fulfill major and pre-med requirements, when you're planning to study and take the MCAT, if you're thinking of a gap year, extracurricular/research experience you're thinking about in addition to this, etc. Your pre-med videos so far have been very helpful!

[@MayGao]

Great ideas! Will make an updated video for that. If you want to hear more about the classes I've taken to fulfill my requirements, watch these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmmgqp9mL96ps0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iICcp3mcfL2jiZI

[@lynahuynh2543]

i really like your style of editing and how informative you are throughout all of your videos, so thank you for that. also, can you please go over in more details as regards to how having an internship at stanford without networking? i'd greatly appreciate it! thank you :)

[@annazhou3732]

loved the style of this vlog!! if you could make a video about how you approach seeking out research/internship opportunities that would be amazing :)

[@annabelle5931]

this is so unrelated but your hair looks SO PRETTY

[@lilabreina]

I like your unscripted videos where you (and usually with a friend) just discuss your thoughts and reflect on your experiences, whether that be a vlog or not

[@MayGao]

Yay! I love making those :) thanks for commenting

[@cindyhernandez4663]

yesss! please please make a video on how you got ur internship!!!✨✨✨

[@eebykeebyk3662]

From first hand experience, high school research at Stanford without connections is definitely possible. You just have to show enough interest & persistence!

[@MayGao]

That’s great! Happy to be proven wrong :P

[@sam6113]

Hey! Saw one of your videos in my feed(waking up at 5 am in the summer). Loved it so much that I started binge watching your videos lol! You're so real and honest ^_^ can't wait to see more of your content!

[@sumnerbroadfoot2615]

no way, I love pipetting too I love all of your brown vlogs and any sit down videos with advice/reflecting on past classes/experiences are great too!!

[@HaRayTrinh7]

Love the balance in every single video you made. I have always been looking for this kinda channel where scientists try to bring science closer to the public. Keep up the good work ^^

[@rahulgoyal4006]

What you explained about your project is gone over my head🤯

[@saraalsammerai9552]

your first day of brown classes was my favorite for sure! I love when you vlog, you come off a lot more comfortable than during sit down videos and they’re also super motivating haha

[@joannajarvis8435]

your video about choosing college classes was my favorite! very helpful info and i liked the way you changed locations periodically :)

[@aerinyang5232]

love this video may!!! It really spoke out to me, I've always been so afraid of doing new things but this has invigorated me to seek failures!!! aahhhhh love ur content as always and so good to see you on the grind :)

[@MayGao]

This makes me so happy!! Discomfort will pay off

[@kiratraylor4900]

Omg thank you so much for this video! When I was applying for internships I tried finding videos on KZbin but there was NOTHING.

[@oscarwong211]

I love your vlogsss!! the ones where you show what you do in a day! It gives ideas of how to fix my schedule and balancing out studying and recreational activities and meeting up with friends :))) P.S I love it when Jenny and Michelle are also in the vids hahaha

[@MayGao]

hehe thanks for the comment!

[@camilachicaiza1563]

Yeeeeees plsssss do a video on your application process 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@richswole]

Wow another listener of Ali Abdaal! I love his podcast and I am a second year pre-med myself. I love your videos and it's nice to always see how other pre-meds are tackling the journey of becoming an MD!

[@joelleolol]

wait yalls little interview segment was so cute haha big fan

[@DrAdnan]

Whenever I see shots of Stanford I always wish I went there 👏👏

[@aidanpmahoney]

I love you vlogging and just talking about your life and your journey! those are probably my favorites

[@joshualiu5034]

"no way, I love pipetting too" Also, love how you briefly talked about the podcasts! I'd be interested to see maybe a "My Top 3 Podcasts of the Month" or something. Would be dope if you provided links to them as well!

[@MayGao]

🤪💙

"The strongest thing a man can do is cry, to expose your feelings, to be vulnerable in front of the world. That's real strength. You know, you feel like you got to be this guarded person and that's not real. It's fake. " - Jay- Z I like your personal videos and vlogs more than the scripted videos. A video idea I have is what it was like to grow up in San Jose/Bay Area.

[@florachen5157]

ahhh yesss pls talk about your internship application!!!

[@asynchloe]

notification squad!!!! May you're looking glowing isa amazing okay going to finish the video now after commenting first and showing some love (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) you always inspire me to vlog my life more too :-; p.s. i love not over thinking!! by Abi something? (watched his first in cambridge video)

[@MayGao]

💙💙 podcast is by fellow youtuber Ali Abdaal :)

[@sharon9210]

My favourite video I've watched of yours is probably the "Assumptions about me" one!

[@dpmoraledpmorale61]

Great video! My close friends from Brown actually shared this with me because they know I’m all about the heart. Also, we work in the same building!

[@cindyhernandez4663]

I love your scripted-vlogs💫Like the public health video you posted!

[@Nina-eg4ow]

I liked the video: first day of college classes the most

[@aviationenthusiast4353]

All of your videos are awesome! But, I particularly enjoy watching the vlogs and productivity/study tips and habits videos that you've produced :))

[@tanishamandal5480]

My favorite vids of yours are day in the life/week in the life/vlogs !!

[@havenworley1356]

I love spontaneous, fun videos!! You are amazing! Don’t be scared to try new types of videos! I love funny videos, serious videos. It’s all interesting to me! ;)

[@jesslow5099]

I love your normal daily vlogs!!

[@MayGao]

:)

[@eh4453]

Definitely those vlogs documenting your life at brown ;’)

[@abbyrobertson7540]

The finals weeks vlogs !!

[@maybelineong1028]

I honestly just watched one of your educational videos and it pulled in my interest then watching more and more i subscribed

[@Mariam-zh7ig]

The vlogs and the all about being pre med play list

[@jlee.012]

I love all your videos, but I definitely always look forward and get most excited when you post vlogs!! Thanks for all you do May xoxo

[@Purplemm1]

I love your day in a life videos

[@Gabby-gt6bz]

I really really love your vlogs (especially ones from brown) they always motivate me and are also really funny

[@chico7695]

This video quality is stunning. Keep it up May

[@MayGao]

Thank you sm 🙏🏼

[@pr1k087]

I have loved all your day in the life videos!

[@sriyabodapati9012]

no way, I love pipetting too!!!

[@GlamGoddes101]

Could totally relate to getting rejected from clubs and programs at my college! And it does hurt a little especially if it’s something that u really wanted but that doesn’t make me stop trying lol

[@MayGao]

I’m so desensitized to rejection at this point haha

[@clarak8984]

I think the mix of different stiles of Videos is what made me subscribe :) i like motivating and real vlogs but also informative sit down Videos :)

[@magsrsd]

I’m going into my freshman year of college in the fall and my end career goal is a cardio thoracic surgeon. I’ve been watching you since your Brown Vlogs because one of your friends was a previous LTG when i was in keyclub, and at the time I wanted to go to Brown :) Please talk about your application process! A Stanford internship sounds like a dream. Hope you are doing well!

[@MayGao]

Thanks for commenting 💙 hope you’re well!

[@MelDiyx]

omg am i hearing masionz on the background I LOVE YOU

[@MayGao]

good music > monetization :,)

[@MelDiyx]

@@MayGao TRUE

[@tigerlily8642]

subscribed from your study videos because I needed motivation, stayed because you have such a lovely personality and video style. Would love to give u some constructive criticism but ngl I've got ur notfs on and I'll probably watch whatever you put out! Love your videos

[@MayGao]

Wow this was too nice 😭💙

[@antigone5221]

I love ur vlogs a LOT!!

[@ccch4963]

Could you do a video about how to deal with/recover from failures and rejections?

[@pearlzhang8185]

question: would you be willing to do a lessons learned from sophomore year video? The videos that made me subscribe to you were definitely the ones where you give advice and are vulnerable. I feel you're like this cool wise older friend (mentor) who is so authentic and candid

[@madebyymira]

i love ur style of editing!! may i ask what u use for your handwritten text transitions + text on ur video footage?

[@MayGao]

I use Procreate on my iPad

[@moonboons]

Love the new video! Just a thought, in future videos, maybe tone down the music just a notch? Like whenever you’re talking

[@MayGao]

thanks for the feedback!

[@gloriaiuc]

I love ur thumbnail!😍

[@mahalaxmichitranjan6289]

Hiiiii I wish to take part in the summer research program in Stanford next summer , I'm currently in my 2nd year of biochemistry degree (I'm not pursuing a degree in us rn) , Any tipsss ??? And also what curriculars and past research experience did you mention - because I'm clueless 😭😭😭 please help me out , I REALLY WANNA DO THIS NEXT SUMMERRR

[@_noonchi]

I love your vlogs and mukbangs!!

[@MayGao]

Michelle’s mukbang to be resumed in September 😂

[@kiefeha6293]

No way, I love pipetting too :D

[@nicolelee4933]

oh my gosh im on campus working at the medical school as well!!! I would love to run into you some day

[@MayGao]

feel free to say hi:)

[@norabui]

Hey May! Can you make a video about how to become a research assistant, apply for internship, shadow etc.?

[@cindy-si7eq]

i love pipetting 2

[@SuperStar-sc9uq]

ayyy i'm at stanford too! I'm actually a high schooler who got an internship through cold emailing.

[@alyssamartinez3909]

If you haven't listened to it yet, there is this podcast called "This Podcast Will Kill You" run by two graduate students studying epidemiology and it covers different diseases and their history, biology, and status today. As a pre-med student I find it super interesting! You should check it out!

[@MayGao]

Dope!! Thank you so much for the rec

[@disharibose7004]

no way i love pippetting too!

[@taylorrayne710]

I would be really-very interested in how, as a Brown student, you pursued a research position at Stanford!!

[@kunalpuri2230]

I cold emailed as a highschooler and was accepted into a wet-lab intern position at a Stanford Lab. It's definitely possible, just incredibly tedious

[@kunalpuri2230]

Also this was very informative, thank you!

[@blizzy35]

Where do you listen to your science podcasts at/What is the series called??! 😁

[@MayGao]

Apple Podcasts. They’re literally called “Nature” and “Science” (scientific peer-reviewed journals)

[@auser6098]

I love ur vlogs. Also wish we could carpool to Stanford together because I am doing a program there rn and the hour commute is not fun.

[@ericv9052]

Your internship sounds so cool! Did you apply through a specific program or did you cold email a professor?

[@MayGao]

cold email

[@ericv9052]

May Gao thanks!

[@kiratraylor4900]

Can you put links to the podcasts in the description? :)

[@alexcho3563]

this episode is brought to you by- *knocks over boba* OH-

[@MayGao]

the scream that came after was so visceral i had to edit it out LOL

[@Kingjerrybll]

Teach us how to apply! I love the videos btw❤️

[@giohollis6564]

please talk about the interview process without connections! Also, what is the music you used at 7:30

[@MayGao]

Simple, Starving To Be Safe - Daphne Loves Derby

[@sharon4835]

i like scripted videos, but yes strike that balance between professional and fun. Just keep doing videos the way you’ve been. Some vlogging, some scripted and I love the informative parts every time

[@YWu-ft3nc]

have you tried the crispr-cas9?

[@developandplay]

Do you get paid for interning at Stanford?

[@lucascott5631]

Great Video!

[@sarahabraham9821]

can you please talk about your application process for your internship?

[@sweatypalms3915]

Very nice!!

[@mariacasoo7195]

I love you vlogs :)

[@itsashdabin]

no way, I love pipetting too

[@MayGao]

😎

[@moonboons]

Sorry if I’m commenting a lot, I’m just doing it throughout the video lmao. Umm, I think maybe you should do scripted videos but with ig clips of you being you. 🤗 sorta like this video!

[@nonamenodog]

Previously you have talked about doing research at Stanford as a high schooler. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmaqHeIZsyjh68 You also said for high schooler, you need connection to be there .... that means you have good connection at Stanford?

[@amira4138]

at stanford do they pay undergrads for research internships?

[@howardcao7975]

Amira probably not, rich people go to Stanford

[@hubbiemid6209]

what's your boba order???

[@MayGao]

Mango Green Milk Tea w/ mixed pearls

[@aoifesutton1059]

Vlogs +study vids

[@mya4385]

No way I love pipetting too (I’m sorry may I really don’t but I did this for you haha)

[@MayGao]

😂💙

[@ryanp9441]

So... where's your internship life?

[@AndrewCha]

7:23 gave me life

[@MayGao]

Requirement: at least one puppy clip in each video 🥺

[@aditichatterjee7722]

[@smitashrivastava8848]

[@courtneysmith3744]

Sharetea is life :)

[@MayGao]

the day sharetea wants to collab will be the best day of my life

[@heejinleem]

the real question is, what type of boba drink is it

[@MayGao]

[@joleenwong8133]

[@GlamGoddes101]

To get this position did you cold email or send in an application?

[@GlamGoddes101]
