FYI: Watching every ad for a full 30 seconds helps me use this platform to support charities and organizations that mean a lot to me. Thanks in advance!
you all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Really enjoying your videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about these programs and upload your vids. Question, what do you mean that Stanford's research interview doesn't matter?
Great question MetaLNadia! Basically what I mean by that is most (if not all) of your interviews will be graded in some way by your interviewer. They're probably either instructed to give you a set of scores or write a paragraph about their impression of you. Most schools will allow you to interview with professors that are not necessarily affiliated with the school's MD/PhD program. Ideally, these would be the professors that you asked for or mentioned on your application, but it's not always possible to get those people. Nevertheless, these research oriented interviews do not always count, and the professor interviewing you does not have an evaluation that they have to submit to the program coordinator/director. Every school is probably different, but Stanford has said that they do not count the research interview, and they are not the only school to have stated that. Hope this helps!
Hey Blossom! I'm so glad that you're enjoying my channel! I only had one publication before I applied, but I can assure you that they're not that important (unless you're a first-author on the publication). To answer your second question, yes. Most schools conduct MD/PhD interviews over two days where one day is dedicated to the MD/PhD program and the other day is dedicated to the MD program. Typically, during the MD interview, you get to meet other MD applicants. Still, I remember interviewing at a few schools that mixed it all up. Regardless of how your interview day is set-up, you won't have anything less that 4 conversations total with 4 different people, and that's being modest. Most places have you interview with upwards of 8 people over two days, so be prepared to be the full package!
What do you suggest women of color do for hairstyles on interview day? I have naturally puffy and curly hair, and I have found the only way to maintain it is to straighten it and put it in a clip pulled all the way back. I am curious what you did for hair style choices?
Hey Natalie! Great question. I suggest pulling your hair back into a low pony-tail. Personally, I ended up having my hair in box braids for my interviews, but so long as your hair is out of your face, you should be fine. You can also Google professional hairstyles for people with your hair type in order to get more ideas. Hope this helps!

Hi I just found your channel and your videos are very helpful. Please how many publications did you have before you applied?
Also, did you have 2 separate interviews for the md and phd program separately or did you only have to do one interview per school.
