    This dude sounds really smart and genuine. I think interview skills will see him through.

    Idk….I just feel like every time there is a question asking him why he wants to be a doctor, he instantly shifts to his past activities, what he did etc. The purpose, the “why” just doesn’t get through. Or maybe it’s just me, but I am not hearing it. Perhaps he just needs to reevaluate his “why” and reflect upon those past experiences.

    It seems his biggest mistake was not applying to enough schools. Had he applied to 20, he would have gotten in somewhere. But let's hope he gets off the waitlist.

    If he is seriously about living in Texas, please consider moving to Texas and become a resident.

    This dude got an interview at Mayo? Wow! That is NOT me lol. He’ll get in, needs to apply more broadly and potentially select his schools a little better.

  • @Lulu-gb7xu
    @Lulu-gb7xu 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I think he really needs to practice interview skills, apply broader, and really self reflect and be concise when explaining why you wanna be a doc and tell me about yourself. You should touch on things but leave room for the interviewer to jump in a converse with you! Allow them to ask you about some things when you tell them about yourself. It shouldn’t be one sided in an interview, it should be a fluid convo ideally

    • @isaakorede2743

      A very good point. He will get in once he can self reflect and critically states why he wants to go to medical school.

You only have to listen to these you tube presentations to see that hightly talented students with near perfect records are not getting admitted. Every person, no matter how good they think they are needs a back up plan in 2022 if they want to be assured of going to medical school.

      @@murraysolomon4924 Most applicants would like the application process to be all about whatever their particular strength is and it sounds like the MCAT was yours. That being said, if a person scores a perfect or near perfect MCAT(let’s call it 520 and above) and they don’t get into any US MD schools then they did something really wrong in their application. And it would be way smarter to just fix that thing then it would be to run off to a foreign country for four years.
