My reaction was honestly really really strange. I can't even describe the emotions I was feeling and my face was just like glitching HAHA. Anyways. I'm so happy with my score and I appreciate you all for supporting me this entire time

@ZITI Notgivingawaythisinfo i don't have one

Awesome. So proud of you

it is too hard to look at the results of your hard work 😓 but when you are not working hard,you just look at it ,and nothing hope you have hard mark 😀

Well done! just continue to move forward!

*"Pain of regret is so much worse than pain of discipline."*

[@banimo0od871]

although true, there's no reason to be pessimistic here fam.

[@Givingthoughts]

@@banimo0od871 i’m genuinely not trying to be offensive, but i’m actually wondering how that comment was pessimistic. literally just curious bc i don’t understand

[@banimo0od871]

@@Givingthoughts I don't think discipline is necessarily associated with pain; it's a habitual behavior that i've developed, that i enjoy. The state of having no regrets doesn't necessitate suffering any pain leading to that point.

[@AliciaLatrell]

Well I've taken the step1 exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it

[@zoeybourgeois749]

Man, crazy to think how Rachel went from a 499 MCAT, retook and got a 511, and now she’s here. Literally so motivating for me as I retake the MCAT next month. It can be so demoralizing to get these scores up but Rachel has shown us that with hard work and dedication, anything possible. Thank you Rachel 🙏🏼🙏🏼 so happy to follow along on your journey and be inspired by you!

[@RachelSouthard]

You can 1000% do it. The fact that you are retaking it and didn’t give up says a lot about your character. Best of luck. You got this. ❤️

[@MedSchoolGirl]

Good luck zoey!! I’m a retaker for the mcat aswell 😬, getting my second score back in 4 days. Also if u don’t mind I’m going to act like Rachel’s comment was to me too because my mom thought it was me being lazy that made me need to retake and this is a lot better of way to say it 😭😅😂. U can do this!!! Just don’t give up on the last month! But also what helped me a lot was taking intentional break days and not feeling guilty about it. That was probably what brought me down a lot and added to my stress, thinking I wasn’t doing enough, but u just gotta do ur best.

[@carolinalima403]

Good luck!!!!!

[@JatinGarg]

You're going to crush it 💪 best of luck!

[@jennie737]

U are going to do more than amazing... We all trust you💗

[@drjennale]

It can feel strange when something you’ve work so hard for comes to an end. Even if it wasn’t all happy, it was an experience. On to new exciting clinicals! Happy for you

[@DermBeautyMD]

Congratulations my girl!!! Can’t wait for you to be my OB GYN as soon as you can be! Be kind to yourself and relax now! ❤️

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you bby ❤️❤️🥲

[@nevertheless2024]

Your reaction was realistic, it's like you worked so hard for this day that you're kind of in disbelief that it's all over. Congratulations you are one step closer to your dreams!

[@RachelSouthard]

Definitely was disbelief. 🥲

my score is coming in two days. i can imagine how hard it is to keep composure in that moment... happy that you reached your goal! good luck.

[@joeburreaux7953]

I'm really glad you didn't share your exact score with us. It helps keep away unhealthy comparisons people may unconsciously or consciously create.

[@banimo0od871]

However way it turns out, you deserve the best for what you've put in.

[@ezrafelder4106]

Seriously. So so inspirational. I've just applied to osteopathic schools of medicine and your videos give me so much motivaton to keep going and achieving my dream! Thank you for doing what you do, Rachel!

[@RamiAnadaniMedical]

As a 4th year med student from Syria, I always watch med student vlogger Videos with some envy, for they have so much more than I have and even dream of having. But you Rachel, you're such a nice and pure person, I'm really happy for you. Best of luck in your new era of medical education!

[@hannahkline2029]

Congratulations Rachel!! We are so proud of you!! You have made such a safe and loving community here, and that is also something to be proud of!! Onto the next chapter, where we will be supporting you all the way!

[@joshmcgoo]

I'm glad you did well, but your reaction reminds me of a lot of my peers who succeed. "Wow, I did well." then onto the next thing. I hope you took a moment to celebrate your accomplishment, because often times we don't allow ourselves to be proud of our accomplishments. Anyway, just a comment for the algorithm. Have a great day!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you, Josh! Definitely celebrated. And thanks for always blessing the algorithm 🙂

[@kimdammer3236]

I honestly am really glad I saw your comment because what you said really resonated with me. I recently graduated from a grammar school (in Germany) and while I was really happy about my results litteraly 2 hours later I was stressing about which university I should apply to and how I could use my time more efficiently. So I am just really grateful that I saw your comment because even despite the fact that it is around midnight here your comment inspired me to just take a step back and be proud of my accomplishments.

[@rachelness1000]

I start my first week of med school next week, and can’t thank you enough for documenting your journey

[@marianna380]

however you did rach, you know you put in your all do be proud of that

[@SJ-hd1br]

Your vid popped up on my suggestions I guess because I just took step 2 yesterday. I love everything you said about your scores not defining you but balancing that with how important the score really is in your application to residency. Also, love the fact that you did not share your score because you do not want other people to compare themselves to you. Glad you are happy! Have an amazing time on rotations this year! From your fellow med student (MS IV).

omg i’m SO proud 🥺 such a beautiful thing

[@andreakrishnapillai1025]

Congratulations Rachel! I have been watching your videos from the very beginning. Your dedication and resilience is truly an inspiration for many aspiring physicians like myself. I cannot begin to recall the number of times where I questioned my abilities during my journey to med. However, your videos continuously remind me what it means to be resilient and push yourself when it comes to your dreams. So happy that you hard work has payed off and I am even more happy that you are one more step closer to becoming an OBGYN :)

[@rachelpatterson5414]

Congrats!! This is a major milestone. And it sound like you have a lot to be proud of! I'm sure you'll make an amazing OB GYN someday :) I've been watching your channel since the beginning, and it's really cool to see your progress and journey and all of the emotions along the way as you fulfill your dreams. Very inspiring! ❤

I also became super emotional when I got my score. I went internal medicine residency. Good luck with OB/GYN! But be open to other specialities during your rotations (I started wanting to do OB/gyn, then psychiatry, then ended up IM).

The starting clips of you working, Are always going to give me motivation specially in these 2 months when I am going to give the post graduate entrance exam . While as doctors we tell others to stay away from screens and blue light it gets really hard to use them while prep for whole day, so long hours. But it all comes down to a great result which land you in mixed emotions of, " what I did it?? " And "Yes, I did it ". Best of luck for rotations Rachel, you are gonna have a lot of fun and learn

Ahhhhh ur gonna be an EPIC OBGYN!! Those are so hard to find that listen to u and are nice. And literally where I live if u try to make an appointment they’re at least a month out.
