Feeling like you aren’t smart enough can really hold you back from big accomplishments ! I’m happy that you overcame that obstacle !! I love how you’re speaking truthfully about your journey !
I needed to hear this journey so bad. I was holding back from applying because I didn’t think in was smart enough to pass. All the other videos I’ve come across they all seem to be starting off with degrees in biochemistry or microbiology so I thought I definitely can’t do this. I’ve always been into science but I’m not a fast learner. This is very encouraging! This video is the reason I applied and I’m terrified and excited equally. Thank you.
Thank you for this enlightening video Rosa ! I’m currently going through the same journey of being a MLS major like you and working part time as a Laboratory Pathology assistant right now while being a freshman student during COVID. I hope I can become successful like you and can’t wait for this field to prosper and grow in the medical field.
You're welcome! How is everything going for you with school and work? :) That is very exciting you are on the correct path and you sound very mature! Best of luck and I would live to hear an update! I'm glad I could help inspire you and make sure to do well in all of your classes!
@@RosaPerez Hey! So I’m in my MLS program now and will graduate in less than a year and a 1/2. I’m currently in the clinical phase right now and by fall of 2024-25 I will begin sim lab and then begin interning spring of 2024-25!
I was just accepted to the professional portion of medical laboratory science program at Oregon institute of technology. I can’t wait to begin studying it this fall. 😀
@@RosaPerez Thanks, I’m about to graduate in a month and a half. I already have an MLS job as well. Im taking the BOC on 12/20, hopefully I won’t fail it. 😬
I got accepted to the MLS program, im excited to start this fall. This video helped, i think its gonna be hard for me with studying because i have never studied before I usually just know the stuff n pass with good grades but ik that i will need to be studying for this
Congratulations on getting accepted! That was my problem too. I never really needed to study but trust me you will need to in the program. Especially for the ASCP Exam.
I just want to say thank you so much for all the MLS videos you put out! I just started my freshman year in college and I'm majoring in MLS so these videos have been super helpful for me. ❤
You’re welcome Makenze! Thanks very much for sharing this with me 🥰♥️ I wish you the best of luck in your program and feel free to reach out if you have any questions and make sure to study very hard! 🔬
I love how straight-forward and thorough your videos are! I have two questions: 1. What is the job market like in Illinois for CLS? 2. Have you had the chance to work in drug toxicology doing high complexity testing?
Thank you Alexander! 1. There are many positions open. Most laboratories need people due to low employee retention and increase of employees retiring. If you look on indeed, you can see how many openings there are. 2. No, I have not had the opportunity to do so. Our lab doesn't have toxicology.
Nothing wrong with that! I got D’s in Physics and Orgo 1 so I gotta retake it sometime too lol 😂 Change the way you study for biochem! I hope you have a better professor this time around!
Thank you for sharing your story! I am glad to see another Latina in STEM 😊 I am thinking of pursuing this career but do you think this job will be automated one day?
Thank you and likewise! I don’t think it would be completely automated in our lifetime. There are always issues with machines and there’s always troubleshooting to do that the machine cannot do on its own.
I really appreciate your encouraging words, I am in cc right now and I am so interested and intimidated by this career lol, I have to think about transferring soon and deciding on a major any tips of how to get more of an idea if this is something I could pursue ?
Thank you I’m glad you were touched by my video! It is intimidating when you are in college but trust me once you are in clinicals and working on the job it’s not scary at all! Most people you will work with are very nice and helpful. I say you should talk with the schools you are considering transferring to and ask them if they have a program and if you can tour it. Ask the director about working in the laboratory and how that is.
Hey Tanatswa. Taking it you're from Zim from your name. Just thought I'd give you a shout out. From Zim as well UK schooled but migrated to Oz now. All the best.
Hey Rosa! I just had a question regarding on how I can get myself started as an MLT. I have a BS in biology with a 3.3 GPA and no lab experiences and am trying to become a CLS. So my question is how much experience did you acquire before applying for a CLS trainee license?
I applied to a bachelors program for CLS so I did not need any experience prior to applying. You may be able to train with a lab using your bachelors as some do. try and research jobs in your area. There is a shortage of CLS so now many labs are taking people with bachelors degree in biology and will help you get certified. Hope this is helpful :)
Thank you for this! I just graduated with my bachelors and the gpa thing was really discouraging me😭 I would have to take two more prerequisites before I can apply but this gave me hope. I am also a Latina. I love to see it! 🫶🏽
You're so welcome! I can completely relate with you as to why it is discouraging having a lower GPA. What many people do not realize is that first-generation Latina's do face many more obstacles and struggles in the higher education system as we may have not had the support that other people have. Culturally, we do not have a line of family members who have attended higher institutions of learning. We also may have to work during school or help out in the household which many students have the privilege of not having to do so. I think you should take the prerequisites and go for it! Thank you for the support and I wish you the best of luck on your educational and career journey!
Love your story. I am on the way applying into program this December. You talk about 3.1 GPA when you graduate. It means that number when you completed your 4 years college? Or when you finished all requirement classes and entering into program? Because I remember they said GPA 2.7 or above to enter to program... Right now I am taking organic chemistry. And I am feeling lost right now.
That is the GPA I graduated after my 4 years of college. Not when I applied for the program. I am not certain what my GPA was at that time but I am sure I can find out. Try to get as much tutoring as possible. If you can, take it over the summer so you can focus more of your time on it.
I have a question in Clinical laboratory sciences which field having more demand & scope ⬇️ Clinical Sciences Hematology Microbiology Immunology Molecular diagnostic Please reply 🙏🏻
Depending on what state you’re in, as long as you fulfill the prerequisites as well as degree in any of those fields, including biochem then you can be certified to become an MLS
@@RosaPerez university of Arizona doesn’t offer MLS major what should I do? I’m currently in a biology program but I’m scared I’m wasting money taking classes that won’t benefit me in terms of career goals.

Thank you! Just know you can accomplish anything you set your mind to :)
Girlll I felt that at 8:08... I was really disheartening not seeing my own people in my AP and honors classes
It is sad but I hope to see more minorities in advanced classes in the future 💕

Congratulations on your accomplishment! :) you are so inspirational.
I appreciate you taking the time to say that thank you! ❤️ I hope others who watch my video work hard for their goals and never give up!
This video inspire me to push my limits in order to accomplish my goal. It's difficult being "not smart student". I suck at Chemistry too hehe
I'm so happy to hear that! I hope my story helped inspire you to go after what you really want in life regardless of what anyone says or thinks!
Chemistry is the WORST!! D:
@@RosaPerez I failed Biochemistry last term hehe and now I'm taking it again.
Nothing wrong with that! I got D’s in Physics and Orgo 1 so I gotta retake it sometime too lol 😂
Change the way you study for biochem! I hope you have a better professor this time around!
@@RosaPerez Thank you so much, didn't expect that you would reply.
Future Medical Laboratory Scientist too ☺️
Congratulations on your journey I can’t wait to be done with mine
Thank you! You got this! How much longer do you have to finish? :)
Rosa Perez 2 years
It will go by so fast!!
Excited 💛
Aw yay you’re so sweet! 🥰
@@RosaPerez You're the sweetest. You are the queen for this week. 👑
Need to hear this. I am first semester of CLS MA program. It’s not easy but I pray that is worth it!
That’s great congratulations!! 🎈 I agree it’s not easy but it will be worth it!
I just woke up...and here I am watching you again!
Starting my 2 year program to be a tech.. Then plan to finish another 2 years for scientist.. I plan to watch your videos to help me through this :)
Aw yay so happy for you! Best of luck on your journey and I hope my videos continue to help you and give you advice :)
Why do scientist need a PhD I’m not smart enough I’m want be clinical scientist and going to a two year in biology

Please reply 🙏🏻
Thanks for the encouragement, what is the name of the college
You’re welcome:)
Can I become a medical laboratory scientist with a biochemistry degree?
Depending on what state you’re in, as long as you fulfill the prerequisites as well as degree in any of those fields, including biochem then you can be certified to become an MLS
priscilla carranza thank youu❤️❤️
correct!
Do jobs even look at your GPA?
Not really honestly
what exactly do you need to major in to become a MLS?
Medical Laboratory Science or technology at either a BS or AS level, its a specific major
Correct it is a specific major but you can try with bio as well but the courses might not complete correlate with the program you’re applying to.
@@RosaPerez university of Arizona doesn’t offer MLS major what should I do? I’m currently in a biology program but I’m scared I’m wasting money taking classes that won’t benefit me in terms of career goals.
What college did you go to??

In this field did we have to study physics?
No you don’t have to
