this is a great video!!! I am a senior in high school. Not sure if you will see this because you posted it 3 years ago lol, but instead of just majoring in bio could I double major with bio as one of them? Or have a concentration? I am planning on majoring in biochem, but if i double majored would it actually be worth it/ or med committees reviewing my application see it as bland even though there is another major also to add I plan on going to a top med school and not sure if they look for double major, I got into a great school but can't afford it so i will just be going to my state university
I think you have to decide on why you want to double major - if there is another subject you really want to learn more about or to make your application more competitive. If it is the latter, I don't know how much double majoring will help with that just by itself. Ultimately, I think the strongest applicants have very strong narratives and clearly defined out 'why' they ended up pursuing what they did. I hope that helps!
Hi beautiful, hey, so will work experience in the field, along with the prerequisets make for a stronger application over someone who does not have work experience but went to a strong pre med program ?
I like physics too! My #1 advice is to talk to your premed advisor, they can go over a 4 year plan with you that will cover all of the classes you need. (if your school doesn’t have one there are free ones online) That said, it’ll be more difficult, I majored in psychology and even though psychology is basically 1/4 of the MCAT, I’ve been studying nearly full time for ~ 6 mo to get to my goal score. I’d encourage you to go for physics! But remember that the medical stuff is really important knowledge
This is so helpful!! Thank you! I am worried about attending a less prestigious undergraduate college. Will it hinder my ability to get into a top medical school such as Yale?
Thank you! So there is no reason for why it should keep you from getting into a top medical school. What ultimately matters more than anything is how you do in school, your MCAT score, your extracurriculars and your passion for medicine.
i'm only in high school, but I loved this video! very informative.
Very helpful advice! I’ll be starting my first year as a pre med student this fall. I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind!
This was SO HELPFUL, Monika! Thank you! I hope you'll consider making a part 2 and part 3 :)
I know this video is from years ago, but stumbling upon it now has been a huge help. Thanks for sharing your insights!
the best advice is don't be afraid be grounded be humble be confident and happy and be you.
Why Don’t We Have this kind of integrated Medicine Program in india neither any pre med school neither anything like D.O anyone plzz ??
Part 2 pleaseee

This helped; I want to do physics, but am consistently clouded with uncertainty do you think it is possible to do?
