- General advice can help you, but it can also hurt you. My relationship with advice is a bit… love-hate. It’s complicated. Seeking out high quality advice has helped me tremendously, but seeking out advice has also led me astray. How should one navigate the limitations of general advice and carve out their own best path, which will ultimately be different from anyone else’s? Stay tuned to find out.

What's some of the best advice you've recently heard. How about the worst?
Med School Insiders The best advice I ever got was to subscribe to Med School Insiders
Did i just get advice about advice
POLAR 😂
The worst general advice: never give up. I know it is necessary to stick on something if you wanna success. But what if you do not like it? What if the continuance brings you nothing but misery. I still remember the day I quit the swimming team to focus on my studies and go to medical school. I'm glad I gave it up at that time^_^
I bet you did the right thing
Everyone has an opinion, but that opinion could or could not be best for you.
i was told that im not smart enough to get into medical school because of my gpa...but i dont think thats smothing that cant be fixed!
Its just a grade show them who you are
People should always tailor their general advice based on the person(s) situation, or personality. As a young neurotic person, I tend to receive unsolicited advice by a lot of people- one of the worst general advice is to calm down or 'chill'. The advice has been helpful at times, but often or not my neuroticism is what helped me get through in high school especially at my first year college.
I’m applying to residency this year, and this video was so helpful because many people feel the need to comment/give unsolicited advice about a field they know little about. Sometimes it has been negative/discouraging, but I know that my choice will be my best path. Thanks for reminding me that advice from people I don’t wish to emulate isn’t that important.
the advice that pisses me off is when im struggling mentally or in a rut and someone says: "just get over it and start working hard". like omg wow such amazing advice wowwww
Love your sincere and high quality content Dr. J! I watch your videos when I get a break from my busy med school study! :)
Im not in the medical field but have worked in the Health industry for a couple of years. I found one of your other videos interesting (business vid) so thought to watch your latest one. Also good on you for this channel, good luck.
With me when it comes to advice, there's great advice and yes there's definitely rubbish. It comes down to where advice came from and distinguishing whats reasonable and whats not. Good advice is great to follow. Rubbish advice is good in a sense we can learn from it as a "what not to do" scenario, and even better if you never followed that advice in the first place. This can go further with learning habits as well, such as good habits by your clients and colleagues, and the worst habits made by them. Ones memory bank of learning "what to dos" and "what not to dos" in many situations is very beneficial. With the good habits and knowledge one can accumulate over time has great benefits e.g. clients/customers/colleagues will trust and even be amazed by you, and you can even feel good about yourself as well.
One of the best satisfactions I get is learning "what to do" and "what not to dos" when it comes to some company processes. Some companies can have some bad or frustrating processes of any kind which are down right crazy. Yes sometimes you can change these processes and sometimes no, but one can at least learn mentally you just do the opposite of "what not to dos" or amend them so you end up with a good amount of "what to dos" in future, which can be used at the same company or even better at other companies, or even in ones own life.
I remember watching your first video in my freshman year in study hall! Thank you for your channel!!
Can you make a video on doing a 3 vs 4 year application for med school (taking a gap year vs going straight from undergrad)? Love your videos :)
I always listen to good advice, and then I will do my best to implement it!
You just need to find the sweet spot! I hope you have a blessed life, if you read this!
Damn chipotle bowl without guacamole? that’s rough
#peasantlife
I like this type of videos they seem to follow a series with the playlist that you mention in the video. But I would like to see more videos dedicated to different study tecnics, maybe a new version of the USMLE video, more videos advising premed students on how to attack a particular class like biochemistry. Even if you speak about the topic in a general manner I think it will be very hepfull. Anyway's thank you for all your advise and help.
Pomodoro technique has definitely been one of the best advice I've gotten, and I think it was your channel I heard it from first! 🙌 my studying has become so much efficient with that. This spring was the 4th time I didn't pass the test to go to 🇫🇮 Helsinki Uni Medical Department😔, but I'm not giving up..! Thanks for always uploading quality content that is interesting and fun to watch! 😊
@@bettermentboss i've been using 25/5 or 50/10 depending on the subject. On chemistry and physics calculations I feel like 25min is little too of a short time.
@Ulviyya Akbarova Thank you! Kiitos! 🙏💪
This is my favorite advice. If it takes alot of effort dont do it. I love it.
My fave time of the day loved it !!
Thank you so much you are a great inspiration I love your Videos
That part about credentials tho. Feel like all the insta "premed" influencers need to hear that big time. Can you make a video about the social media "medfluencers" to avoid?
Not going to make a video about who to avoid. Going to teach you the skills and mindsets to judge for yourself :)
I appreciate this. It was very realistic.
Kevin you're a great inspiration. Hoping to meet you one day!
great stuff brotha
I’ve followed all your advice and I’ve been doing great
The reason that I find inspiration during night is because I want to go to sleep, so I tend to procrastinate less and get things done faster 😂
thank you man
You nailed it! 💕
i'am addicted to Med School Insiders
U r the best
Keep making more of these
You nice Dr. Jubbal
Keep going
Awesome video!!
Could you please make a video on how to use time effectively during the day as i struggle with this a lot. Either I give myself too many tasks to be done or too little. I would really appreciate it.
Can you do a video on CRNAs vs Anesthesiologist? is it worth being an anesthesiologist or will crnas "take over" as some people have said
I have come across some rarity in your videos and would love to make them a part of my plan of prep for sure
Hey can you please make an updated version of how to study effectively for MCAT and score 510+. Thank you!
i am going to 1st year of medical school in russia and i want to clear usmle is there any advice for me like about daily routine what to start with at first i have soo many confusions any help?
Hi, could you do a video about getting into a NA medical schools for international applicants? I am recently studying in the US and I really want to achieve my dream as becoming a doctor.
Thank you for all your great works！
Nice! Good video :)
Nuance is key
Hi! Can you please make a video how to become a doctor in the USA for international students? How to get into college and then med school? What about ib diploma? In my opinion it would be interesting and really helpful. Greetings from Poland!😘😘
Would it be possible for you to make a video about how to stop phone/social media addiction? I think it’s something a lot of people struggle with that inhibits their productivity! Thanks Dr. Jubbal!!
i made one a few months ago :)
Med School Insiders Oh my gosh I cant believe I didn’t see that!! 😂 Thank you for letting me know!
when do you apply for medical school after high school or after undergrad
Serious question
What would you say is the difference in the advice you give for free on TH-cam vs what you provide for cost at medschool insiders?
Comes down to be personalized to your needs. We can provide general advice in videos but answering how to best proceed as a non traditional applicant with a failed attempt in the past and an MCAT of 503 and GPA of 3.4 requires a more nuanced and individualized approach.
It's a helpful video I wish I could watch it with Arabic translation so I understand it better
Cool cool
Worst advice (pre-med only): Go to a Caribbean medical school if you score poorly on your MCAT and have a bad GPA, because in the time you spend improving your application you could be done with year one/two in the Caribbean.
Usually love your videos...but recently its less about an interesting topic and more promoting of your other videos e.g. I don't give bodybuilding advice but I do give advice on MCAT...see my other video
Thanks for the feedback
I’m getting so much advice on the speciality.. Anaesthesia vs Radio diagnosis
It’s confused me more!!!
What do you guys think about that?
I thought this week will be about step 1 becoming pass/fail
Nevertheless, nice video
Next Saturday 😘
👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️
Do what works best for you
Ouhh i just gave u all an advice
Never mind 😂
The People Who’ve Given Me + Others the WORST Advice Ever:
- Gary Vee
- Grant Cardone
- Robert Kiyosaki
- Tony Robbins
Why?
I have bpd. How can I balance things out and pursue my dream of becoming a doctor?
Speak to your physician
So I should stop listening to my college advisor?
The assumption that one has to be that something or have credentials to give advice is untrue. You do not have to be an MVP to be an amazing coach. You don't have to have a PHD to be a great teacher.
I understand that this a commercial for your business and I wish you the best, but creating a 10 minutes video on why you should listen to me is redundant and unnecessary.
Too bad, I am a med student myself and generally love your channel but this video is off-putting and makes your message just not as useful, making me question your other videos
The fact that there are so many charlatans and people peddling bad advice counters your argument. Is it a rule you need credentials? No, but the three factor outlined in the video are a very good guideline that people far more successful than you or I have even suggested.
Thanks for watching. If you don’t like my videos, I’m not offended if you unsubscribe
