These videos on your application and the results of it are so helpful. I have similar stats to yours, that interview invite from Cornell gave me so much hope lol
I'm so glad you found it helpful! And yeah that Cornell interview had me shooked LOL just remember, anything can happen!
Love the attitude despite all the rejections ! Good luck in your future endeavors.
Positivity goes a long way! Thanks for tuning in to the video!
So I'm not actually a medical student (I'm applying to English PhD programs) but I like these type of videos and I just wanna say I really appreciate how thorough this was. You putting your GPA and MCAT and also including scores for the schools was so informative and I appreciate that. I never really see people including that info in videos but it makes it much more interesting.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the transparency and the information!
So glad YT recommended your channel to me. Love it man ! I'm currently by UCI as well . good luck brother!
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me!
So happy for you, congrats on getting in! Really good and in the local area!
Thank you so much! Definitely one of the best parts of going to UCI is that it’s near home!
Wow, very happy for you. I am indeed one of those who have every part of them wanting and yearning to go into medicine, yet I might say with diverse barriers such as financial support don't know if it would be possible. All the same inspired by your perseverance.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It is really helpful! Iam going to apply this cycle!
Good luck with the cycle! If you are interested in application mentorship, feel free to DM me on Instagram (@luigig.med) or email me (luigigmed@gmail.com)
This was really well done. Congrats!
Thank you so much! Make sure to subscribe for more!
been waiting for this congrats!
Thanks for tuning in Salmaan! I really appreciate the support!
Great vid, should be useful when I apply in a couple of years!
Good luck! I’ll be sure to make more helpful videos like this so hopefully I can give you some more valuable content!
Congratulations and Thxu for this informative video!
Thank you! I'm glad you found value in the video!
good stuff as always, you're just built different
Thanks bro 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Love your personality and congratulations
Thank you!
Good luck. Nice to see a student who is not afraid to divulge stats to help others. I think your service portion of application was very strong.
Thank you so much! I’m just trying to provide the content that I wish I could’ve seen when I was applying to medical school!
@@LuigiGonzales You are in this for the right reasons. Service to others will be reflected in the fine care of your patients. UCI is fortunate to train you in the technical aspects of being a fine physician.
@@campbeja001 Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching my videos!
@@LuigiGonzales Best wishes on your journey! It is nice to see a real case of success on social media!
i remember watching this 2 years ago when i was in high school interested in medicine and now i start my courses in september!
Thanks for revealing this man. A lot of people don't and I understand and respect their privacy, but you got some good stats and still got rejected from like 90% of them. Damn, I am in the same boat bruv.
When I was applying, I wished I could see the stats of people who were accepted so I wanted to provide that value to future applicants! My most important tip would be to avoid comparing yourself to other people when you're applying and just focus on doing your best! You got this!
@@LuigiGonzales Thanks mate! I made the mistake by applying too late and have to wait until the next upcoming cycle. I give you cred for not selling yourself short for the Ivy League ones. Shoot for the stars!
Oh heyyyy future colleage! My partner is a also a sneakerhead, so he sent me this video. Loll at us both being rejected from our Alma maters without even an interview invite....I feel you on that. Either way CONGRATULATIONS on getting into an amazing school!
Thank you! And yeah it was very disappointing to be rejected by my Alma Mater but I’m just glad to know that I’ll be starting medical school soon! Thanks for checking out the video!
very neat video
> "Low tier"
> 3.74 GPA 513 MCAT
There truly is no hope for the rest of us :')
Those are just the averages! People can get into medical school with lower numbers than those so don't worry too much about it and just do your best!
congrats! would've been cool if you got into cornell but UCI hits different with irvine spectrum and diamond jamboree and all the bomb food
Yeah haha definitely would’ve been cool but I kinda like being the one to “reject” Cornell by committing to UCI 😂
Congratulations 🎉👏
Thanks Jay!
congratulations!! that was so ballsy of you to apply to mainly “target” and reach stat schools and barely any below ur gpa/mcat
Thank you! That experience was definitely very different from applying to college because all medical schools have high averages so there's really not a lot of options to be considered as "safety" schools! There are DO schools with lower averages but thats a whole other application and more payments so I just decided to not apply to those haha
@@LuigiGonzales Glad everything is going well, I’m enjoying your videos :)
@@NT-us7fp Thanks for tuning in! If there's a specific video you had in mind or if you have any questions about anything just let me know!
@@LuigiGonzales I would love a video on ECs in med school!
@@NT-us7fp That’s a great idea! I’ll be sure to do a video on that sometime soon!
Jefferson and Drexel are both really hard to get in both undergrad and Med school. Hopefully I get in one once I graduate undergrad school. They’re both back at home.
Both schools are really good! I think it’s an achievement to get accepted to any med school! It’s a bigger plus if the school is closer to home. Let me know if you have any questions about applying to med school and I’ll be glad to help!
Congratulations!! Getting into medical school is so tough, unlike law schools which let in close to anyone with a pulse.
Haha I’m sure each career path has its pros and cons! Thanks for tuning in!
Hello from the Philippines!
Hello! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Gonna recommend this to my cousin, should help him out. Cheers!
Thank you! I hope this video helps your cousin!
I bet the process gets way less stressful once you get that first acceptance. Hopefully I get that first acceptance so I dont have to stress. Also what were the timing of your interviews? All early like before December or did some contact you a little later?
It definitely gets way better! The residents and fellows that I’ve talked to say that getting into med school is the toughest filter! Once you’re past that it’s all about trying to survive so you’re not really fighting with your peers for spots as much!
Some of my interviews were before December! I had 2 before December and 3 after I think!
God this really shows you how hard it is to get accepted to medical school despite you having a good MCAT score and good grades. My dads friend has a daughter who is finding a hard time getting in a medical school even if she had a good score and good grades.
That’s what i think too! I think it’s important for people to get an idea of the reality of how difficult it actually is and what it takes before they waste thousands of dollars applying and being rejected!
@@LuigiGonzales Very true!!! I am planning to do pre-med in college. So far I am only a high schooler with the dream of becoming a doctor with my love in Biology and science related classes. I just hope that dream will come true.
Congrats! Just curious, why didnt you apply to Loma Linda?
I just didn't feel like Loma Linda was a good match for me! Are you interested in applying to Loma Linda?
Hey I’m a usc undergrad and saw your profile pic. Do you think that admissions officers favored you for going to USC? I feel like I could have gone to my state school and easily got a straight 4.0
That's something that I still wonder to this day. I am honestly not sure how heavy medical schools weigh the prestige of your undergraduate school. I do know that a high GPA and high MCAT score should be priority but going to USC has to help. I think they understand if your GPA isn't a 4.0. I think it helped for me because even though I didn't have a high GPA or MCAT, I was still able to get interviews to multiple schools!
But at this point, I don't think you should focus on that! You're at USC so just do your best to get good grades while maintaining a healthy study-life balance!
Why didn't you apply to UC Davis Medical School? Also, the only way you could probably get into Hawaii as an out-of-state student is if you were Native Hawaiian. They tend to give preferences for that.
I didn’t think I’d be happy living around the area where UCD is at! Also they mentioned having strict guidelines as to who they accept so I just thought that it wasn’t worth applying there!
When did you get the UCLA and uci interview invites ?
Hey Stephen! I got my UCLA interview on September 1st and my UCI interview on September 29th! Let me know if you have any other questions about the application cycle!
I thought private universities don't really give an in-state advantage like Stanford or USC. I was always under the impression public state universities have the major in-state resident preference.
Yeah public universities for sure have IS preferences but privates not as much! For privates, they typically don’t have preferences but it’s based on each school. If you look at the data, it still turns out that there’s a bigger amount of accepted students from Cali for both USC and Stanford!
@@LuigiGonzales yeah I think that schools in general prefer their own state residents rather then other state residents first
@@xplicitgoofy1015 Med schools want people who will be interested in working for their hospital in the long term!
@@LuigiGonzales oh okay
@@LuigiGonzales Also I have a question when applying for med school is it necessary to have a bunch of extra curriculars? Because I was reading an article of this guy who got acceptance to schools like NYU, Columbia, Havard, and a bunch of other medical schools and all he said was that he showed commitment to his extracurriculars and showed how they were all meaningful to him so That’s what I’ve been wondering about the med school application process if that it is needed to have a bunch of extracurriculars
How do you find out if a school has an in state preference? Is it sort of word of mouth
When you’re about to apply, there’s a website that you can pay a subscription for that states how many applicants applied to the school in the past year and how many were accepted from the home state vs out of state
Dude such a eye-opening video, loved it. How much money did u end up spending for 37 applications? I heard they're pretty expensive and that ppl usually recommend applying to less
Here is a link to a video I made explaining all of the costs for my application cycle: ruclips.net/video/kfdzz5ZHwsk/видео.html
@@LuigiGonzales thank you so much!
Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on future videos!
Can I ask, why did you not apply for Loma Linda?
Yeah! I've just heard a lot about Loma Linda and the religious component of it as well as certain rules and regulations that they have. I didn't do my research to confirm but I didn't think I needed to add it on since I was already applying to 30+ schools!
@@LuigiGonzales Oh I see. Makes sense. Thank you for the response!
When in the cycle did you get the interviews?
I started getting interview invites around December! I know some people got interview invites earlier and some later, which made the whole process very stressful!
@@LuigiGonzales Yeah I have gotten two in the last three weeks, so I am trying to gauge the strength of my application based off that. Who knows, maybe its all random. Thanks for the response! And congrats
@@jriccioj WOW!!! That’s amazing! Congrats Jake! Don’t focus on the strength of your application. You got the interviews so just focus on researching the schools and finding the strong points that you want to bring up to the admissions committee!
GeorgeTown and Dartmouth are considered "low tier" medical schools that are easier to get accepted to? Are you sure?
Georgetown Average Acceptance Stats: 3.6 GPA + 512 MCAT
Dartmouth Average Acceptance Stats: 3.77 + 516 MCAT
Compared to the ivy leagues and other well known West/East Coast schools, the acceptance stats for Georgetown and Dartmouth are lower! All medical schools are hard to get into, these schools just have lower averages than other!
It’s true. It’s the wildest thing. Here in Louisiana it’s easier to get into Tulane than it is LSUHSC. That’s absolutely unheard of with undergrad. I would be unbearably grateful to get into either one. Tulane has a level 1 trauma center
The disrespect for dartmouth and brown 😭💀
LOL just from my list and my opinion haha I mean no disrespect to those prestigious schools!
I got uf online student
Welp….my stats are much lower than yours. Time for a backup job.
You never know what could happen! I know people who had lower stats and got into better med schools! Just focus on your personal statement and your extracurricular activities. You can also do a gap year or do a master’s program!
UCDavis?
I actually don’t think I applied to UCDavis because I wasn’t too big of a fan of the rural environment of UCDavis! Nothing against the school tho!
@@LuigiGonzales the UCDavis med school is actually located in Sacramento so it’s not rural at all haha. But you’d be right to not apply because they have heavy regional bias for primary care.
(Also I did my undergrad at UCDavis, Davis is a small college town but no way is it “rural”😅)
@@christyyip8617 LOL that’s also another thing! I didn’t do too much research about it! I just took what people said about the school and used that info as a decision maker! But yes the regional bias is an important factor to consider!
Im guessing your application was nothing but a list of classes and research you did. They don't want you to list your resume, they want to know your personality, interests. What instruments you play, hobbies you do, what you care about. Your gpa and mcat score were way higher than a lot of people who get in, it had to have been your application that got you rejected.
Looking at the data, my numbers were very close to the national average! I actually made a video where I went over my app and I would love to get your opinion on whether it seems like I just listed my resume!
@@LuigiGonzales Okay
