You literally are my inspiration. I’ve been wanting to be a doctor but felt too dumb bc I don’t get straight A’s but watching you ace your test and be so happy makes me determined to follow my dreams. Thank you.
When you explained how are you noticed that you're willing to study in med school I literally cried then i said to myself " I WANNA BE LIKE HER". That was the most empowering moment of my life. THANK YOU FOR THAT WE LOVE YOU :3
"The only reason why I didn't get into medical school is bcos I died" now that sent me out🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm also making this my motto as I finish my Masters and getting ready to apply for medical school
I’m currently in the process of applying to medical school, I have been invited to 4 interviews so far & your videos make me sooooo excited to start (hopefully next year if all goes well)! ♥️
Do you feel satisfaction (a sense of accomplishment) at the end of day after you have gone through rough material? Or do you just feel exhausted at the end of the day?
On average, how many lectures do you try to cover per day? Does a block consist of multiple subjects (how many)? Or just one subject per block (i.e. anatomy)?
Thank you so much for these videos. I just got into PA school and start next summer (yay). While I know it's not the same as medical school, it's comforting to see that yes it's stressful and hard but that it's possible to persevere and succeed!!
I'm also a med student, and I'm laughing so hard watching this video, bc omg it's so true. Med students really do not have a clue about what's going on in the rest of the society because there's no time for that!
I love your channel SO much! I just started grad school this semester, masters in clinical mental health counseling :) I love seeing your journey and your videos always put me in the right mindset to get. stuff. DONE! You're incredible, I can't wait to see where your path leads!
Hi ! I just stumbled upon your channel and I've been binge watching your videos all morning ! You've given me a new motivation when I've almost given up on medical school. I still don't know if medical school is for me but whatever I choose to do I'm going to give it my all! I love seeing how excited you get about studying and going to the anatomy lab I wanna be that excited about what I'm learning and now look forward to studying for my finals. SO thank you ! Also I'm taking biochemistry (I'm in my undergrad) in the winter and I've been terrified after hearing the war stories but I like seeing how much you enjoyed it :)
I'm nowhere close to being in med school yet ( even though I want to be ) but your vids help me stay on track and remind me that I have to work hard for what I want so ,I want to say Thank you so much! and keep it up
There’s no empirical research that recognizes what the best ways of learning on while actively studying. That being said, research literature recognizes that spatial learning is the best way to store information into long-term memory
I really wish I would’ve discovered this video when I started college. I graduated in May, but I used a lot of your study tips and they work so well! I still enjoy watching your videos even though I’m not in school anymore!
Hi Rachel! I've been watching your videos for a while now and just wanted to let you know I always look forward to when you post them! I'm a nursing student in my junior year so im not exactly in the same boat as you, but watching you study and talk about school makes me more motivated. It inspires me to keep going, and you've helped me realize that I can do it I just have to push myself.
I'm in nursing school so it's nowhere near medical school but this helped so much! I feel like I'm in over my head a lot of the time but if you can do med school, I can so nursing!
When did you decide you wanted to go to med school? I'm only 14, and I already know I want to be a surgeon🤩 your channel gives me a better idea of what it looks like, and it inspires me so much! Love from chile♥️
Hey Rachel, I don’t know if this topic is too off limits for you or if you’re uncomfortable talking about finances, but if you aren’t, would love a video about the costs of med school (not just tuition but cost of living while going to med school) because I’m an undergrad right now and I’m already pretty stressed about how to pay for med school once I get there! But if you aren’t comfortable talking about it I totally understand, it can be touchy. Wish you the best!
No way!!! I also have a huge interest in Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, and Trauma Surgery.... I’ve been so fascinated with these things and your the first med-school student that I’ve come across who also likes these specialties!!! AWESOME
Love this channel! Watching your videos has really helped me take my mind off worrying about my MCAT score while I wait for my results. Thanks for your honesty and positivity!
I'm so close to finishing the pre-med requisties. I have to re-take Anatomy again for the 4th time and it's really nerve-wrecking because i just want to pass it so badly.
I use a whiteboard to help me study. I read my notes write the concepts and say it while I am writing it. ( I am very big written learner and it helps) if anyone wants a little tip. I use it in general physiology
What did you do in the meantime while waiting to see if you got into medical schools? I'm dying anticipating the response from the school I applied to!!
Love your videos Rachel! I'm currently a physical therapy student (in Canada) and seriously considering applying to med school. Little bit nervous about the journey ahead but excited at the same time!!
Thanks Rachel 💖💖💖💖 this video is so precious..I didn't know what was this video gonna be..but to my surprise..I needed to hear this whole video.. thank you Lord for this video... 😊 I wish I was serious about my undergrad and all . . We didn't have that...we just had high school ..is that same as undergrad... I know how I was moved to a new high school and me being an introvert person..I was struggling most through it.. 🙆👀 thanks man..really needed this..this had everything..may Abba bless you.
Oh wow, I can’t believe I am actually watching this vlog that I’ve been waiting impatiently after 11hours 😭😔 I am a psychology student and I’ve poor time management any tip for that will be appreciated
I'm pre-med and use to have poor time management. A friend of my gave me a few tips that have really worked well. 1. Set alarm notifications on your phone for times you want to study, stop studying, do a certain task, and so on. 2. Make sure you give yourself at least an hour a day to do whatever you enjoy. 3. Make a schedule with your personal tasks and your syllabi at the beginning of each term. Plan a study schedule around that and if you don't have enough time to study, look to see where you can cut time.
Can you go over specifically what you do when you go through each lecture? First you watch it, but then do you go over that same lecture that same day?
Have you ever thought about PM&R when considering specialities? Given that you majored in Kinesiology and wanted to do physical therapy at one point Side note, I'm sure this is a late comment, just discovered your videos but really enjoy them :)
How do you study for 7-8 hours a day with classes and everything? Just wondering lol not exactly sure how med school timetables are or anything like that.
I've heard that all the detox tea brands all are actually really unhealthy for people, so I was a bit surprised to hear you endorse it. Have you done research about these brands? I've basically heard that they only induce weight loss because of all that it depletes from the body...
So I absolutely looove medicine and I’m thinking about studying it, but I also love and am really good at physics and math so I was thinking about studying biomedical engineering I find it really interesting but I don’t want to be stuck in a lab all day any advice??
I’m a senior in high school and I am currently in a dental Assistant course at school... as of right now I’m planning to pursue dentistry but something has always pulled me towards medicine and going to medical school. I’m really torn between the two... being a dentist in more practical for me again something in my heart pulls me towards being a doctor (more specifically being a OBGYN) do you have any advice for me? or just any advice of going into college and choosing your career in general
“Wait hold up, I didn’t introduce myself” 😂... by the way I need to listen to my body more... it’s not weird at all, I talk to myself all the time, and if you say it aloud, you’ll know if you understand it or not... “she really did that” (ALEXA) 😭😂... You said it right the SECOND TIME😍.. aww you’re so sweet.. girl you inspire me everyday... bout to take a nap 😩🙏🏾... Preach it sis! Which back-up? I only got Plan A ❤️.. “If i didn’t get in, I DIED” you’re gonna make me cry, I’m sorry this comment was SO LONG! But you’re the best... I’ve never met any youtuber that I’ve gravitated towards, I told my mom and classmates to watch the video.. will change yuh life 😂💕.. I’m done rambling
Im super skeptical about endorsements but I really am willing if it works. Could you elaborate? How long does it help you focus? Is it just small amt or?
Krispin Lopez I know. It’s kind of a grey area, but i don’t want you guys to feel pressured to buy it. I’m just sharing it cause it was sent to me and it’s not a bad product. I’ll drink it around 9pm and I can go until 2am, but there are also confounding factors. It has quite a good amount of tea bags in the bag!
do you have any tips for organic chemistry. I’m a pre-mer major and I’ve made As in all of my classes and I got a D as my midterm grade for Organic ): pls help
libra star if it’s mechanisms you struggle with an easy way to revise them is to draw out huge flowcharts of them, remove the reactants/conditions and photocopy the flowcharts, then fill in the blanks. Also write out/make up questions about different reactions etc and answer them, then a couple days later answer again (without any notes this time) and compare. I also find anki useful for flashcards, and blurting (jaded Jade has a video on this technique). Just try as many different types of active recall as possible. Also, plan your spacing - spaced repetition is super useful for long term memory. Cover something a week after a lecture, recover two weeks after that, a month after that, 2 months after that etc etc
"If I didn't get into medical school, it's because I died." Just found my new motto.
Can you make a video on your undergrad journey? (Classes you took, Research, volunteer, etc and timeline) love your videos :)
Kellyn Rae I was just going to go comment the exact same thing!
YES! I was thinking the same thing!
yaaas
yes please!
Yes PLZ! how do you manage to work and pay rent/ expenses when you barely have time to your self!!
I love your response to the people who asked what your backup plan was.
“If I don’t get into medical school it’s because I died.” My new motto.
Im not even in med school/planning on becoming a doctor and I still keep up with every single one of your videos
love you
Aha me too
Basima Karzoun me too lol
sameee
I know. She’s so motivating!!
Exercise increases BDNF, which improves memory. So yes, exercising while studying would theoretically help you better retain the material!
When she said “the only reason I didn’t get into medical school is if I died” I felt that.
You remind me of a mixture of JLO and Jessica Alba 😊
OMGGGGGG UGHH
@@RachelSouthard I can definitely see it, like you 3 could be related! Haha 😛
Rory from Gilmore girls
Any questions I didn't answer? Leave em below :D
How do you make money during med school ?
How can you stay beautiful
d'awhhh i'm flattered
How many medical schools did you apply to and how many did you hear back from? Trying to figure out the application process.
What classes did you take in your undergrad degree?
I am an OT student and I talk to myself all the time when I study. People think i’m nuts but it seriously works!!
You literally are my inspiration. I’ve been wanting to be a doctor but felt too dumb bc I don’t get straight A’s but watching you ace your test and be so happy makes me determined to follow my dreams. Thank you.
When you explained how are you noticed that you're willing to study in med school I literally cried then i said to myself " I WANNA BE LIKE HER". That was the most empowering moment of my life. THANK YOU FOR THAT WE LOVE YOU :3
YES,
I WAITED ALL DAY FOR THIS
YASS! i hope it met your expectations
"The only reason why I didn't get into medical school is bcos I died" now that sent me out🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm also making this my motto as I finish my Masters and getting ready to apply for medical school
Sibongile Seale lmao it’s the truth!!
I’m currently in the process of applying to medical school, I have been invited to 4 interviews so far & your videos make me sooooo excited to start (hopefully next year if all goes well)! ♥️
Do you feel satisfaction (a sense of accomplishment) at the end of day after you have gone through rough material? Or do you just feel exhausted at the end of the day?
absolutely
I loved the curriculum explanation and how you saw yourself doing that and if not you would be dead. Love it so much.
On average, how many lectures do you try to cover per day?
Does a block consist of multiple subjects (how many)? Or just one subject per block (i.e. anatomy)?
Thank you so much for these videos. I just got into PA school and start next summer (yay). While I know it's not the same as medical school, it's comforting to see that yes it's stressful and hard but that it's possible to persevere and succeed!!
I'm also a med student, and I'm laughing so hard watching this video, bc omg it's so true. Med students really do not have a clue about what's going on in the rest of the society because there's no time for that!

Also I'm taking biochemistry (I'm in my undergrad) in the winter and I've been terrified after hearing the war stories but I like seeing how much you enjoyed it :)
"If I didn't get into medical school, it's because I died." i actually wrote it down in my bullet journal. im 14 and i wanna be a doctor
Don't say like that even if i know it motivate you..... don't take it too serious like that life is just a road
Bro me toooo
I have always been so attracted to medecine but this year its like IK its what i want
I'm nowhere close to being in med school yet ( even though I want to be ) but your vids help me stay on track and remind me that I have to work hard for what I want so ,I want to say Thank you so much! and keep it up

I love how i am interested in the same specializations as you
Love this channel! Watching your videos has really helped me take my mind off worrying about my MCAT score while I wait for my results. Thanks for your honesty and positivity!
I'm so close to finishing the pre-med requisties. I have to re-take Anatomy again for the 4th time and it's really nerve-wrecking because i just want to pass it so badly.
Read ahead if you can, use quizlet, make videos practicing with the models. And TH-cam, I watched crash course which helped me.
I use a whiteboard to help me study. I read my notes write the concepts and say it while I am writing it. ( I am very big written learner and it helps) if anyone wants a little tip. I use it in general physiology
Coffee in hand watching this Lol yay for Q&A!
Ugh I love you so much, new subscriber :)
What did you do in the meantime while waiting to see if you got into medical schools? I'm dying anticipating the response from the school I applied to!!
Just wait! heheh. You'll be okay!
I'd love to see a video on how you time manage this is what i struggle with most in school!
Love your videos Rachel! I'm currently a physical therapy student (in Canada) and seriously considering applying to med school. Little bit nervous about the journey ahead but excited at the same time!!
Love your videos!! You’re so inspiring 💕
I left southern California to go to medical school in Detroit so I am curious if your experience is similar. Do you guys do full body dissections?
That's awesome! I'm enjoying SoCal a lot! Yes, full body :)
Love this u should do study with me real time for about a hour or two so we can study with u
I’m KINES! So cool to hear that you were KINES and not the regular BIOMED!
I relate so much with the" if i didnt get in its cause i died" so much. I start next week!

I really like your videos, good luck in your activities!
Your study tips are so helpful!! Definitely going to try studying at the gym :)
Very entertaining. Hope this doesn’t backfire for your residency.
Can you go over specifically what you do when you go through each lecture? First you watch it, but then do you go over that same lecture that same day?
This was really helpful. Thank you for posting it! :)
Amazing!!! Inspiring!!! You are so intelligent!!! Thank you for this video!
2 videos in one week ☺️ We are lucky
Have you ever thought about PM&R when considering specialities? Given that you majored in Kinesiology and wanted to do physical therapy at one point
Side note, I'm sure this is a late comment, just discovered your videos but really enjoy them :)
I haven't! But I'm keeping my options open :)
Thank you!
it really answered many of what i wanted to ask ...love your videos
“If I didn’t get into medical school, it’s because I died.” I love that 😂 I’m going to start saying that lol
where is the video of you talking about MD vs DO? I can't find it! :(
Thank you for sharing your videos:) Just doing your vlog / routine reading = really inspired me 😊✌🏻Please keep updating. Loveee from THAILAND ❤️😆
I love biomedical. Biochemistry. I have my own laboratory.
if you could give someone that is wanting to go to medical school 3 tips what would they be?
I can actually study for hours on end and I don’t forget
do you have a bf??
if so, how do you keep up with the relationship? ILYYY
I love the blood gas machine
Would you change your major in undergrad if you had the chance to go back?
Do u use Lecturio? And if u do does it work for u? And how does it work?
Hiiiii rachelll! Em from philippinessss yeah!What camera are you using?
How do you study for 7-8 hours a day with classes and everything? Just wondering lol not exactly sure how med school timetables are or anything like that.
i just found your channel, and i know this comment is late..but how do you manage med school, and working?
What state do you go to school in and why did you choose your school? I am in high school and am considering options for colleges and med schools
So you go to lectures and watch them again afterward?
I've heard that all the detox tea brands all are actually really unhealthy for people, so I was a bit surprised to hear you endorse it. Have you done research about these brands? I've basically heard that they only induce weight loss because of all that it depletes from the body...
You are insanely gorgeous
Melyta55 Awh stawwwwp💕
@Rachel, why did you choose to go the DO route instead of the MD one?
So I absolutely looove medicine and I’m thinking about studying it, but I also love and am really good at physics and math so I was thinking about studying biomedical engineering I find it really interesting but I don’t want to be stuck in a lab all day any advice??

What criteria did you have for narrowing down the schools you wanted to go to?
how do you/did you study for chemistry?
How do deal with distractions, like netflix???
Im super skeptical about endorsements but I really am willing if it works. Could you elaborate? How long does it help you focus? Is it just small amt or?

Being a doctor is way better (my opinion)
