      That’s facts bro!! And unfortunately those students make it seem like you need their stats to become competitive. But that’s not true. I’m glad you can resonate!

    Im a second year college student, but really this is my first year actually experiencing college because of the pandemic. I have a bad habit of casting my net too far and wide and ending up with that long laundry list you spoke about! It's almost as if I cant tell what I'm passionate about anymore. Do you have any tips on narrowing down your extra curricular activities?

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  2 года назад +1

      I completely understand where you’re coming from! And in college, it can be easy to experience that “fear of missing out.” I would suggest saying no to things that only mildly interests you and look for things that you truly love and make you excited. And that way you can have a shorter list, and just by having a shorter list, you’ll be able to put more into the things you’re doing which will ultimately make you enjoy them that much more (kind of fulfilling that initial excitement you had for it). I hope this helps!

    I watched your video but the thing you didn't mention was economical issues for example I know that I am so motivated but I know that I never can afford the price and tuition fees of most of my desirable unies... So I have to chose a place That I don’t raelly like... 🙁

      Unfortunately school can be very expensive, but student loans are available and a lot of students rely on student loans to different degrees. But I do know finances can be a big barrier 😓

      That sounds like an amazing collection of things to invest your energy into! And because you seen genuinely passionate about each of them, I definitely think you should continue with them. I think you have the perfect amount going on as long as each of those things are fulfilling for you!

      Thank you! And I honestly can’t remember what courses I took my senior year (it was 3 years ago 😅). But as long as you fulfill the premedical requirements and any requirements you have for your major/minor/graduation, you should be good.

    It is possible for you to share your school list? Also I wanted to sign up for your course. But I found out about it today and there’s only the student course left. Does that include a review of my ps, and application?
    You’re an amazing inspiration

    • @Heracong
      @Heracong 2 года назад

      Also do you think it’s okay to share what specialty you want to go into? During interview or on app? Thanks so so much

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  2 года назад +1

      Hi! It would be tough to share my school list because I made it on a note on my phone lol. And unfortunately the student package does not include a review of your ps and application. I’m sorry that we are not able to extend this resource out to more students at this time! In terms of sharing your specialty interests, I think it’s appropriate to share interests (especially when they relate to your story), but I would emphasize being open minded and wanting to learn as much as you can about all specialties in medicine.

      I scored a 511 on the MCAT which was around the 85th percentile the year I took it. Believing that people’s success is only a resort of DEI initiatives is usually how people respond to their own shortcomings. But I wish you the best of luck!
