U cant even take the mcat more than twice a year tf

Having many hours in scribing, and EMT definitely do count, you just need to be able to take away meaningful lessons that you can write about. It's so much less about what you do than how you write about it. I got 22 interviews and 7A's with basically no research and a huge emphasis on volunteering (kind of generic things, but I think I wrote about them well). I think your advice might only be relevant at esteemed academic institutes. A lot of schools care about having holistic students more than people who have checked all the boxes.

That's the thing that probably contributed to my struggle of getting in- those darn 3 P's. I enjoy helping people, but I could care less about serving a certain population in particular. I was not jumping out in my personal statement and secondaries to help anyone in particular (and this was back in 2021). Then again, I admit I have some antihumanistic and nihilistic opinions that I try to keep to myself- someone dies in the USA every 12 sec or something like that, hate is rampant, but the world goes on. I'd go on to barely get in, and that's nice. Then again, I am against the notion that doctors have an obligation to help certain people even though adcoms demand it. Major flaw in the system I strongly oppose- we are not responsible for complex social problems in society.

Could you do a video with applicants who have a higher varience in gpa (i will not be able to get a 3.9)

Is your mentorship open to incoming college freshmen? If so, how does the program work and how long is the mentorship for people who will apply to medical school in 3-4 years? Thank you!

should we aim for 6th-8th grade level even when writing the personal statement?

CNA/MA in a State Psychiatric Hospital Helicopter EMT is also good

Academics are still the most important. if you have capacity for scoring 520+ on mcat focus completely on that + some side experiences (which should be energizing rather than feeling like obligation). No one really cares if you are the most passionate person for Latinx queer health if you can't score above 510 on mcat.

Wheres the full video

Happy New Year! Could you offer a link with essays and good responses compared to bad ones? It would be really helpful in pdf format if it’s possible :) Thanks! ❤

Happy new year Dr. Le:) I'm excited to be a part of premed catalyst student this year

Ok, so that one student that got into harvard with no research. I want to see what was on THAT application. but I guess we will just never know.

😮

If THIS is what it takes to get into medical school in America, then it doesn't pay to go to medical school in America. ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

Your past 3 videos have been of insane quality. I just found your account. As a pre-med, thank you!

How do i get letters of recommendation from medical directors?

Good to know bro god bless you 😊

😊

im a high school student interested in premed and I found your video to me very informative. I am just finding out about the complexity of college apps and I hope to be able to navigate this process early and smoothly.

Thank you for the video. As a first year premed myslef i enjoyed the content and will keep these in the back of my head until it is time. If you are reading this, i have a question for you. I took a gap year between high school and college to help support my family. Is that gap year looked apon negatively? If so is there anything i need to do to be a more competitive applicant that those who did not take a gap year dont?

Thank you for the information! I am a current freshman in college and plan on applying to medical school Spring 2026 since I will be graduating May 2027. The research experience explained in the two better applications seem like graduate level experiences so I wanted to ask if these students applied to medical school after 4 years of undergraduate college or did they take gap years? What I am wondering is how they were able to get high level research positions as sophomores or juniors in college (as is in my understanding from the timeline of their application). Thank you!

man ive literally just got like 25k clinical hours as a volunteer/nurse and letters of recommendation from medical directors if that aint enough then meds schol aint it

Previous videos and emails instructed me to build a central theme that express my passions and reasons to pursue medicine. This video tells me to not focus on a central theme but to scatter impact across different extracurriculars. How do these two fit together?

tell your boy john hes got a near carbon copy applying this june, hoping for the same results

So informative Dr. Le, you have helped me so much

Hi Dr. Le, Do you help students in your mentorship program over zoom when they have questions or need to discuss plans?

I LOVE this new series. I thought the interviewee was very relatable in how she answered the questions. I feel like I would have responded in similar ways. It was super insightful to hear your commentary of what you liked and what you didn't. Some of her answers I thought you would dislike, but I was surprised to hear the opposite. It reframed my perspectives on what admissions committees look for, and I will keep coming back to this video to remind myself of that. Thank you for sharing!
