well, I will summarise for people who wanna save time Schedule tips 1- Do a little bit every single day , make it a daily habit ,getting in the routine of studying every single day, space repetition . 2- Do the assignment on the day it is assigned , 3- know your cut off time , when your efficiency plummet , figure the time when u most work efficiently study techniques 1-interleaving - intersperse the topics ,break down the subjects into chunks and switching the topics back to top 2-active recalls- constant testing yourself 3- take practice exams -can identify your weak areas ,solidify the information
speaking the truth as always man! I could never find the discipline to stay efficient and consistent each day and it's been one of my biggest regrets. committing those fundamentals to long term memory is the best thing you can do for yourself imo. I find myself having to relearn a lot of things I learned at school for interviews, projects, etc. miss ya bruv, been catchin up on all the vids lol
Real talk if I ever move to Illinois I want you as my doctor man lol. Like I barely know anyone that made it out with straight A's throughout the entirety of college so that is an amazing achievement man, and I also can tell your passionate about the things you learned. Glad you shared these tips I'm sure people will find this helpful if its worked for you.
haha I really appreciate you, Rahil - you are too kind my friend. It was definitely a grind that probably wasn't worth it, but I'm proud I got it done! I'm even more excited now to finally be learning skills and reasoning that will be useful to my career. Sometimes undergrad felt a bit random. Thank you again for the support :)
I appreciate your kind words, Dylan! I wouldn't call myself a genius - maybe I am just a little neurotic about my studying haha. And honestly for med school, I don't really need calc 3 or the other advanced math classes I had to take as an engineer! Getting a B in precalc is still something to be very proud of if you worked hard for it my friend :)
It takes a lot of discipline to develop the habit of studying every day. But it really is the best way to learn. You're completely correct that you really learn something very very well when you repeatedly practice or study it every day. I wish I did more practice problems as a study technique in college. I think I would have done better in courses like orgo. So, I'm curious, did you ever study with people in a group? Lastly, how were you not accepted to all those med schools with a 4.0 GPA? Keep up the good work Faisal, I'm impressed you're making these videos while you're a full-time med student.
It does take some upfront discipline, but I think the payoff is so worth it! I cannot get enough of practice problems - my only complaint so far in medical school is that I want access to even MORE problems. Honestly, I didn't do much of my intensive studying in a group. I would work through engineering problem sets and homework assignments with a group of friends, but I felt studying was most efficient on my own. I would however hold "office hours" and tutoring sessions for my peers, which I think helped me out as well. A huge downfall in my medical school application was clinical hours I believe! I didn't spend much time in the clinic my Freshman and Sophomore years, which is very important to do when applying to medical school. Hindsight is 20/20 though, and I am very happy with where I am now. Thank you so much for the support, Alex! It is always a pleasure engaging with you :)
@@faisalmasood-medicalstuden1936 The pleasure is mine. Yeah I remember a few friends of mine who went to med school were always volunteering at a clinic. All in all, getting into med school is really hard. So you should definitely take some pride in your accomplishments. But keep at it man!
Would you recommend a double major in biology, to someone on psychology (who also works 20 hrs /week) ?🤔 This means that every every semester would be at 18/19 cr. plus keeping in mind that a high gpa is needed for graduate school 🙃
If you think you can handle all of this while maintaining your wellness, I think it's possible! However, I think consistently overloading on credit hours while working 20 hours a week would have been pretty tough for me. If grad school is the goal, prioritizing your GPA, exam scores, and extracurriculars might be more advantageous to you in the long-run!
Dude, I am a sophomore pre med biomedical engineer and the problem i have, is how on earth do you balance all your classes while trying to have fun? Seondly, what app did you use for active recall? Also any tips on tough engineering courses?
It is definitely tough to balance! The only possible way for me was to plan and schedule out both fun and school. Waking up a few hours early on the weekend and knocking out my studying on Saturday morning was also a great way to have most of the weekend for fun college things! For active recall, I use a free program called anki! It is an incredibly powerful tool used by many medical students; there is a robust infrastructure and premade decks for medical students, but playing around with this software and making your own flashcards may be helpful in undergrad! Might not help as much in some math-heavy engineering courses, but certainly will help with bio/chem/premed recs. Best of luck!
Your story is inspiring Faisal! It really is hard make an honest commitment to studying daily for hours at a time; I tip my hat off to for doing what you did! What medical school are you at currently?
In terms of research, the most popular method is to cold email professors! It may take some persistence and following up, but you just need one yes. Make sure you read some of the PIs papers and send a well-informed email. In terms of shadowing, it is probably easiest to have a contact make the first introduction with a doctor. If you're volunteering and have a good relationship with a doctor, you can ask to shadow them. Otherwise, you may need to ask some professors or other connections to make the first point of contact. If all else fails, you can also try emailing physicians (but I've had less luck with this). I did work a job! I worked part-time as a TA for a cell and tissue engineering lab
well, I will summarise for people who wanna save time
Schedule tips
1- Do a little bit every single day , make it a daily habit ,getting in the routine of studying every single day, space repetition .
2- Do the assignment on the day it is assigned ,
3- know your cut off time , when your efficiency plummet , figure the time when u most work efficiently
study techniques
1-interleaving - intersperse the topics ,break down the subjects into chunks and switching the topics back to top
2-active recalls- constant testing yourself
3- take practice exams -can identify your weak areas ,solidify the information
Honestly I really Appreciate
God bless you

I'm a premed engineering student at UIUC too! (Aerospace) Watching this for motivation as junior year approaches...
Thanks🙏🏾
I’m really grateful for this video. You’re obviously really smart but this gives me hope and I’m excited! Best of luck to you bro
Your kind words are much appreciated, Jayden! I am rooting for you on your own journey and wish you the best of luck :)
Very nice.
Happy to see and listen you .
Thank you Humera Phupho, your support is very appreciated!
Calculus III for freshman year???! Wow my man you are definitely a genius I could never I couldn’t barely get a B in precalc 😭
I appreciate your kind words, Dylan! I wouldn't call myself a genius - maybe I am just a little neurotic about my studying haha.

This video is so helpful thank you so much!
I am so happy to hear that - best of luck :)
Thanks for sharing!
I'm currently a junior in high school and I really want to become a physician, I also want to major in biomedical engineering!!!!
Legend
I appreciate you, Jacinto :)
Your gpa might have been a 4.0 but you are number 1.0 :)
You are too kind, Ryan
Love this video man! I just came across your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to more videos from you!

Which university did you read biomedical engineering???
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!
Quantum chemistry sounds made up 😂. Another great video bro
hahaha some of the stuff we learned definitely felt made-up! The quantum world is weird bro
I took quite a bit of quantum chemistry in college and graduate school. It's beyond crazy, but that's how tiny molecules work though.
Roughly how many hours a day did you dedicate to school (classes+studying) a day?
On an average weekday, I would estimate I spent roughly 10-11 hours on school + research. I would also work 5-7 hours on Saturday and Sunday.
Hi, how did you do research and shadowing? Also did you work any jobs?
In terms of research, the most popular method is to cold email professors! It may take some persistence and following up, but you just need one yes. Make sure you read some of the PIs papers and send a well-informed email.

I did work a job! I worked part-time as a TA for a cell and tissue engineering lab
Bro how do you move your mouth???
Did you have no job?
Seek Christ Jesus YHVH God...
