What Medical School is REALLY Like (all the tea ☕️ on the good and the bad)

What Medical School is REALLY Like. I'm giving you all the tea in this week's video about what the first year of medical school has been like for me. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. I promise though that contrary to what you might think, by the end of the video I think you will realize that med school doesn't have to be as bad and miserable as everyone has it cracked up to be!

I just binged so many of your videos! I really love watching your journey and your personality and is so infectious. You're going to be a great doctor and I look up to you as someone currently studying for the MCAT :")

[@itslifebymaggie]

Aw thanks for such a nice comment, I’m so happy you enjoy!! BEST OF LUCK studying for the MCAT! I’m sure you’ll do amazing! 💕

Wow, this video is so honest and awesome! I think that I've had every single one of these questions at one point. I'm applying to a couple schools and one of them definitely has the 8am-5pm (8-3 w/o anatomy lab) mandatory lecture schedule - and I'm really worried about having time to study after classes are finished. I mean, will it be like 8am-5pm and then 5pm -10pm studying? But, I really appreciate your videos! It makes me think that I can (maybe) still have a life in med school lol!

[@itslifebymaggie]

Ooh yeah, that sounds so rough. We only have two 8 hour days and I absolutely despise them! Definitely would not recommend 😅

[@Reddypath]

Thank you so much for your insight! Happy new year and best of luck with your coursework next year!

[@itslifebymaggie]

Aw thank you!!

So informative.

I am planning on going to medical school in the future. Do you recommend using anki cards but also writing down notes? I was just wondering because Anki helps, but I am better at learning using my notes and writing stuff down. Do schools let you use your notes during quizzes?

[@gaywitchdoctor]

I’m much more a fan of Anki now. It’s great for retention. 😊

[@itslifebymaggie]

Agreed!
