Hey everyone! Just a quick breakdown of how my application process has been. Let me know if you have any other questions you would like me to answer in another video! :)
Congrats Rachel!!! For some reason, I find you to be very beautiful (both inside and out, without even knowing you in-person). Keep up the good work by educating us with your motivational videos. I am still completing my primary application, and just looking for money anywhere I can find it (even delivering food. That stuff is very expensive). Thank God that afford 10 MD schools for now, and I will be able to raise the funds for additional DO schools in about a month.
MySmith1234 Awh, Thank you so much. That’s really sweet of you to say. I wish you the best of luck with this process. It’s very expensive. Since I had trouble affording it, I got credit cards and just charged them and worried about paying it later. Your commitment to apply won’t go unnoticed. You got this! 👍🏼 Thank you again 💕
I just found your channel today at work! (I work at CDPH in the Richmond, CA campus) and I graduate this year from SFSU and I plan on applying to med school probably next year. So happy I found your channel 😁😁💗
Rachel I love u so much, its 3 am where im at and I just decided to go all the way down to this video, ik so weird but ur literally amazing. I wanted to ask why you were wearing scrubs at 2:54? what kind of experience did you take part of for that?
Good luck with applications! BTW, that camera quality thooo what do you use?? Mine always looses quality when I move from SD card to computer , any tips?
Thank you! I use a canon rebel t5i with a 35mm lens. And then i use final cut pro to edit! There's a few things I played with to get the quality aside from the lens. I got a better SD card that has faster processing and it has more space, so it can take the quality that the camera records in. Then when i export my final video from final cut pro, I make sure it has good quality settings. I hope that helps!
Hey I am from India and I m a resident in USA trying to get into pre med, haven't applied for mcat will do next year but while watching your videos give me alot of help how toh start something in this new country but also how do I shortlist colleges and also is it necessary to have a bachelor degree from USA or is it okay from another country. I m hoping you would respond I know I m pretty late to watch your videos but it's never too late. Take care ❤️
Hello Rachel southerd. i am pakistani student any scholarship is avalible for pakistani student to study Bachelor of medicine and surgery in your university. If you have any guideness about the scholarship of MBB or MD in your medical school tell me the procedures. i am waiting of ur replay sister.
Are these applications for starting fall 2019? And what job/research are you doing right now? Is there anything you recommend for those prepping to apply...? (Sorry for all the Q’s) 🙃
Don't apologize for the questions! :D Yes! Fall 2019. I am currently working at a hospital as a physical therapy aide! I did very minimal and basic research while I was in school. I don't intend to do much research as a physician, so I didn't find it appropraite to spend a buch of time doing research if I wasn't interested in it.I recommend having any type of patient care experience as possible. If you can volunteer in a hospital and interact with patients, do so. If you can get a job where you work in healthcare, even better. I also recommend finding non-healthcare related volunteer work. They want to see that you're well-rounded and not entirely focused on medicine and being a "cookie cutter" applicant. Really do some introspection and find out who you are as a person, what your goals are in medicine, and what you thoroughly enjoy doing outside of academia. :) Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any more questions!
Hi Keana! I graduated from school with a BS in kinesiology, so that's basically the "precursor" of going to PT school. I had also worked as a chiropractic aide prior to the PTaide position, so I had some patient care under my belt. But other than that, no training/courses/certs were necessary!
Rachel Southard I’m actually planning on taking my MCAT 8/18, and then will be applying next june. I found your channel by looking up MCAT related videos. The sincerity of your content has kept me here! Good luck on your application process and kill those interviews!!!
Thomas! BLAH, youtube didn't notify me that you replied. Thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate it. I hope your MCAT went well!?!?!?!?!!
LOL we only have 17 med schools in Canada... FML. Only eligible to apply to 3 this year due to stringent criteria... Happy for you!! Writing my MCAT on Aug 10th!
ooohhhh my gosh. That's nuts!! At least it'll be WAY more affordable. lol Best of luck to you! :D Do a super hero pose in the mirror and tell yourself that you are capable right before the exam!
IKR. Yes way more affordable but JEEZ those odds haha. Thank you!! I'll need it. I was feeling alright until this week... Now the anxiety is building. Quick Q: were your AAMC practice FL scores similar to your real MCAT score? Thanks!!
Rachel: I feel like most of the people watching my videos are pre med people, or people applying to med school, or trying to take the mcat etc.. Me: Nope just still stuck in quarantine and one of the cutest girls I’ve ever seen showed up in my youtube feed 👀👀👀
Gloria adjayi Well first you need a bachelors degree, not in any specific field. I think you need to do research at your university, at lot of things you can google for more information. Im not entirely sure
Gloria adjayi no, but there are prerequisite courses you have to take, but the most basic major to have is Biology, but if you want to go to a specific med school look at their requirements and speak to advisors who can help a lot more than i can as im still new to this process as well.
Gloria adjayi of course! But seriously don’t be scared to visit the advisors as much as you need. I’m the first person in my family to go to college and who wants to be a doctor so i literally didn’t know anything about the process so, bug them if needed!

What job did you have in between undergrad and medical school and at what point during your undergrad did you begin that job?

Hey Rachel! I was wondering if you watch grey’s anatomy or any medical show? If yes what do you think of them? Love you 😘❤️😍

@@RachelSouthard how did you get into being a physical therapy aide? did you have to go through a course, training, etc.?
Hi Keana! I graduated from school with a BS in kinesiology, so that's basically the "precursor" of going to PT school. I had also worked as a chiropractic aide prior to the PTaide position, so I had some patient care under my belt. But other than that, no training/courses/certs were necessary!
Are they DO interviews or MD? Isn’t this super early to be getting interviews from either? Nonetheless, congratulations!!!!!
DO interviews so far! :D I suppose it is semi-early! Thank you so much. Are you applying?
Rachel Southard I’m actually planning on taking my MCAT 8/18, and then will be applying next june. I found your channel by looking up MCAT related videos. The sincerity of your content has kept me here! Good luck on your application process and kill those interviews!!!
Thomas! BLAH, youtube didn't notify me that you replied. Thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate it. I hope your MCAT went well!?!?!?!?!!

LOL we only have 17 med schools in Canada... FML. Only eligible to apply to 3 this year due to stringent criteria...
Happy for you!! Writing my MCAT on Aug 10th!
