I needed this video, this is so similar to my journey. It took me so long to do well in school because I was doing everything BUT pre-med. I did liberal arts and business, while working and just had no passion for it. Once I realized being a neonatal surgeon was my dream, I have done so much better academically. I am so great full that medical schools really look at upward trends.
Hi Dr Gray! Thank you so much for the videos I got into medical school yesterday and am so excited because it was a great fit and it’s in the same place that my family lives Your videos helped me get through the AMCAS. Thanks again!!
I didn't even think twice about doing my prereqs at a community college after graduating from university (I moved states right after I graduated due to a death in the family and wouldn't have qualified for in-state tuition in Colorado). I've since realized how some schools may view my prereqs, but I'm hoping it's not a big deal because I had straight As at both schools. Any thoughts, Dr. Gray? I'm happy with my decision to spend $6,000 on prereqs instead of $60,000, just hoping that isn't somehow a red flag given my personal situation.
I’m also doing pre reqs at a CC and my advice would be to email all the schools on your list to ask about this. I did it for about 20 schools and got back a yes from 19/20 schools I emailed. Also I’m in colorado too and would love to connect and motivate each other ❤️❤️🥳
I’m in a similar position. Took college classes in HS and bombed one of them, came into my freshman year of college with a 2.0. I have a 3.28 right now and have one more semester to finish my freshman year. Hopefully I can get to a 3.7 at-least
If you bump up your grades, you can get into many medical professions, don't limit yourself to becoming a doctor. At this point, it's not very realistic.
@@phillipsteiner3581 Congratulations, Dr. Steiner! But I have to respectfully disagree with you. I've seen a few who have successfully become physicians even when their grades weren't the greatest. If this person is truly passionate about this field and is willing to continue persevering, then I think they can attain these goals.
Don't underestimate the power of an upward trend!📕
I wish Dr. Gray featured more stories regarding low MCAT applicants. Like this if you agree so we can get him to see it!

My story sounds identical to yours! Keep going girl you’ve got this.

That beep in the intro sounds like an airplane notification.

I’d be interested in this too

graduated 3.02 but not sure if that includes science gpa just overall
Perfect timing.

3:36 She just called a 2.0 gpa "not bad!" 😂
that's why she's in this position
In college a C is a 2.0
Is working in a nursing home as a CNA clinical?
Yes according to the AAMC
I work in a plasma center as a phlebotomist. Would that count as clinical?

May I ask: Are you a physician or part of an ADCOM?
What other medical professions can she get into?
@@yourfuturedocburenbeiya I've been an Optometrist for 40 years, and have a daughter going through premed now.
