    Thank you very much! Just finished watching your live on Tik Tok. Your tips with regards to medical school were very helpful. You make a lot of points I think other med channels fail to elaborate on so keep doing what you’re doing! I think potentially showing what a day in the life of a dermatologist looks like would be interesting for your viewers.

    I liked you video. Thank you so much. What is the best premed major to get into medical school? I know many premed students major in biology. But I heard it maybe better to major in humanity major. What do you recommend?

    • @kevinchaoMD
      @kevinchaoMD  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Major in whatever you will do best in and have the most interest in. Main advantage of choosing a science major is that you won't have to take as many classes to fulfill your prereqs.

    Hi , it would be great if you can tell me which bachelor degree is most suitable to do for fulfilling med school pre requisite requirements. And also if someone has done bachelors' in engineering with low cgpa but now doing masters and scored high gpa, so will it help or will still the low gpa subjects be counted in undergrad?

    Does the college you go for undergrad matter for med school?

    • @kevinchaoMD
      @kevinchaoMD  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A little bit, but not as much as many people think! it's more important to do well at whatever school you choose to go to. This is also where standardized tests like the MCAT come in handy because it helps medical schools compare applicants who went to different schools.
