Adnan A You must be a med student or super interested in this field! Haha you’re subscribed to aaaalllll the same med students and residents I am :) Edit: Nevermind, just checked out your channel. Looks awesome!
I just so happened to come across this video, and had to pause to write this. Holy smokes you are SOOO inspiring. I'm also a non-traditional student and just got into medical school this year. Thank you for this, and for giving hope to all of us who feel they can't succeed in this rigorous profession. I'm so happy I didn't give up. I took the MCAT 4 times. Got rejected. And here I am today, sitting on an acceptance and still going to interviews. Grit is EVERYTHING and you obviously demonstrate that.
@@asapxuniverse8201 Most medical school's average age of M1s are actually 26-27 years old. I will be turning 26 when I start medical school in July. My friend started medical school at 31. It's never too late. Taking 2 gap years was the best decision I ever made. I got to travel, help my family out, and save some money.
GRIT is EVERYTHING!! I wish more people understood this! I taught my 4th graders about grit for a year straight! Congratulations on your acceptance into medical school. I'd love to know where you decide to go!
I graduate in August with my BS in Clinical Psych and my first two years of college were so rough. I was failing and withdrawing from classes left and right and struggled a lot with my mental health . I got my life together and found my passion FINALLY. Planning on taking the GRE over the summer and planning to apply to PA school in the near future. I've tried so hard to bring my GPA up from the depths of hell and currently getting patient care hours as a nurse tech while also being a part of 3 clubs and volunteering on the side. Ive been down in the dumps these past couple of weeks because I feel like my GPA isn't competitive enough to get into any good PA programs but this video really makes me feel hopeful and more driven than ever before. You're videos are so inspiring. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to post content that actually matters. I just know you're going to make an incredible physician
Hey Monica! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us and for your kind words. I'm glad you were able to turn things around and discover what you're passionate about! I wish you nothing but the best on your journey and even when it gets tough just know that I am rooting for you!
Yo!!! You will definitely make it to where you wanna be in life as long as you don’t let the things that stand in your way block you. Tear that wall down, run through it, or shoot climb over it buy you got it soon to be PA!
I feel uplifted and ashamed of myself while watching lol. I’m going into my senior year of college. No volunteer work, no clubs, & a b GPA. I have always dreamed of being a doctor, but I gave up on the dream my second year here in college. Just yesterday I decided that I’m not going to sit and sulk and just give up. I am going to use this year to get myself out there and boost my gpa. Apply to grad school and start studying for the MCAT. It’s so crazy that at only 20 years old I feel so behind on this process. I’m keeping the faith 💛💛
I want to enlist in the US Air Force and go through a non-traditional course to become a doctor too. But I am going to be 60 years old before this year is over.
Such an inspiring story! I had similar struggles in my first few years of college. I agree that being able to change your mentality and get more involved in extracurriculars that fuel your passion can definitely motivate you and improve your application for med school. I had a similar realization in my second year of college and it was really life changing. Thank you for your video!
I am well into my 30's and delayed this dream for over a decade. Starting my non-traditional post-bacc program in a few weeks. My dreams won't wait any longer! Thanks for sharing. It's so encouraging! Subscribed!
Plenty Of Chocolate The informal route is taking the med school prereqs of your own accord. And preparing for the MCAT on your own or finding a prep course for that. You also will have to get letters of recommendation, shadowing experience and clinical hours by yourself too. A formal program helps you cover everything you’ll need to apply to med school. But if you’re entrepreneurial/self-motivated, it’s a lot cheaper to go informal.
I literally stopped the video 14secnds into it to comment .. your intro is amazing it got me feeling like I am about to watch a Tv show , breaking news or something , your acting is on point ..# excited to watch the video.
This really inspired me tonight. I am a rising junior in college I’m also pre-Med and my first year in college wasn’t the best either. I’m working now to make a come back and watching your video made me feel that I can actually do this. Your very inspiring to me because of your background and your drive it reminds me a lot of me. I want to be a surgeon badly that’s all I ever think about and I know how that it is going to be a struggle for me but seeing you achieve all of this and hearing your story I feel I can do anything and have a good turn out in the end. Thank you for this I really appreciate it. I freaking love you 💕👏🏽
I wish this video had been around when I was teaching high school health science classes. Your perseverance is remarkable. You have demonstrated that one doesn’t need money and connections to obtain goals. Bravo, Brittany.
Glad to see your back!!! Literally one of the RUclipsrs who inspired me to make my channel. Would love if you could do a year 3 update of medical school. Wishing you the best of luck in 2019!
Thank you! Thank you! this was so helpful. It is just what I needed to know to help me formulate the next steps I need to take in this journey to medicine. Many blessings to you. Your hard work is truly appreciated.
By far the best pre med to med school journey. Finally someone I can relate to, there is never a limitation to what we can do. No matter how many times we are struck down. Best wishes!
This video is just what I needed - thank you for being so transparent and honest about your journey and experiences! You are truly inspiring and I love your passion about giving back to the community. I just graduated in December with my BS in Neuroscience and prepping for the MCAT now for MD/PhD programs. I'm in grad school to take a few more classes to help boost my GPA and praying for a shadowing/ lab research opportunity now.
Wow...Brittany. I am so in awe of your story, I think I love the idea of medical school more because of you! Plus, I love the fact that you are a participant in the US Army! Keep inspiring!
Wow Brittny, this gives me so much fuel to continue pushing through despite whatever hurdle I encounter along the road. You are beyond inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational story!! My pre-med path is also untraditional, since it took me SO LONG to figure out my future career. I am about to start studying for the MCAT next week and wanted to find some inspiration on youtube. so so so thankful i came across your channel
I can’t tell you how much this video meant to me. Thank you so much for posting. I feel way more optimistic and hopeful that my hard work will pay off. As long as I don’t give up on me, I’ll find a way to make it happen. Thank you!!
I’m so glad I came across your video. I have been wanting to become an ob-gyn since middle school but I never had a real reason. I was just very determined to do it! Everyone never believed I would even try to do it. Since I never had a real reason for myself l believed them. I haven’t been the best high school student and I soon graduate in 2021🎓 . I had been so out of hope and that I didn’t pre prepare to do this. So I didn’t think I could do it. I was doing research to see if this is what I really wanted to do. You have given me hope something to look forward to it may not be easy but I will do it!! Thank you for sharing your story you might have just changed mine.❤️
You’ve given me so much hope. I’m in second year biology and I’m doing terrible and most days I think of dropping out but because of my wonderful parents I haven’t. I feel so lost and I just am not getting the grades I should be. I’ll think of your story every time I feel like giving up
I’m so hopeful hearing your study and reading the different stories on the comments. Is it incredible all that you have accomplished! My journey has been a rollercoaster, and I am still struggling, but I keep going. I am so scared of not getting accepted. I am doing a second bachelor right now, and not doing the best I can this semester. Sometimes I lose hope, but people like you inspire me. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing your non traditional path. I’m currently studying for my OCHEM 2 class and I broke down a little. Then I decided to search for motivation and your video popped up. You gave me hope. 😭
I'm so glad this video got recommended to me, I really needed this. I just wrote three final exams this week, and I was so disappointed and about to go into a spiral of sadness over my marks just a few minutes ago. I'm still in high school, and my absolute dream is to become a doctor. You're seriously so inspiring. Thank you 💞
Thank you for sharing your nontraditional journey because I am currently a senior in undergrad going through this same thing and this really helped me believe that it is still possible and that taking a slight detour is okay.
Girrrrl I know, I’m from Roxbury, MA. Never been a product of my environment, always wanted better for myself. I’m grateful that you made it out and made a better way for yourself. ❤️
Thanks for sharing. You inspire me. It is very helpful for me to hear your experience. My parents always rushing me and put pressure on me that I have to go med school right away. But I think it’s good to take a small step at a time and try not to pressure myself.
Wow, I'm inspired. Thank you for sharing. You are obviously very passionate about Medicine. I just received a scholarship to med school after 4 gap years. There were many roadblocks as well, but the experiences are invaluable and I have never been more determined. Like you said, God will open doors 🙌🏽
Another great video Brittny thank you for continuing to inspire us and show us that when there is a will there is a way ! Love you and your beautiful story!! (:
THANK YOUUUUU for making this video. I have a BA in criminal justice and want to go to medical school but don’t know where to start! This was extremely helpful.
Thank you for sharing! I am actually in the Masters's program at USF in the Anatomy concentration and have submitted my medical school applications. My one hurdle left is the MCAT and UF is one of my top choices. Thank you for the encouragement!
You have no idea how much this hits home because you’re the only med student on youtube that shares the same birthplace as me. I was born in Dorchester too so I understand where you’re coming from! It’s so cool to see a woman of color become med student especially we come from the same background !
I stumbled across your channel by searching "Medical school nontraditional students". I'm glad I did! You are full of knowledge! You are a beautiful person, inside and out! Applied to The Peace Corps, skipping Grad school graduation..grades and test scores do NOT tell the whole story. You have so much passion for medicine and it shows, and such an inspiration to all. Excited to be following you :)
Yes honey, I was so excited when I seen your name pop up on my computer. You are an angel from Heaven, Because I almost gave up, listening to family telling me that i am not going to make it in college and i honestly believed them, wasn't doing well in college. I feel like i can just talk to you all day. I am in tears. I loved this video thank you so much
LOVE THIS! One of my biggest things was just not having the guidance. I knew for a fact I wanted medical school but I didnt know really the right path in regards to tests, grades etc etc. Thank you for this!
Yes, I feel you! I think that's what discourages a lot of people from pursuing this career path. It's hard even when you have all the guidance that you need - add not having guidance on top of that and it seems almost impossible. I'm just grateful that I'm able to help bridge the gap even if it's just a little bit!
Feels daunting. I’ve been a nurse for a year and I’ve decided to go back. Need to take a few pre reqs first and I’m trying to figure out how to get extra curricular I’m as well.
that was so inspiring and motivating, your story is so unique and amazing 💓 i love this sit down talk through stories. i hope you can go more in depth about your work in Nicaragua and teaching experience in the future!
Where i live we go straight into medical school once we finish high school. I decided to go to a public school(completely free), which has a one year admission course. After my first semester i got cold feet and decided to quit and I enrolled myself in a private university to study psychology. I'm supposed to start on march but I feel like I made the wrong decision, since I was so scared of how difficult med school was going to be. I think i'm going back to medicine, which means I'm going to be a year behind the rest of my classmates, and that made me really insecure but your video made me realized that anything is possible, and that being a year behind is definitely not the end of the world. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This was the probably the best 20 minutes I've ever spent listening to someone talk and share their story. You are extremely humble, inspiring and deserving of where you are in life. Thank you for this video! ❤ I wish you continued success!!!
Watching this looked up and saw 11:11. Thank you god for this!! You know how bad I want to be an Optometrist. You will see me through despite my obstacles 🌱🌻 thank you for this video. I know it’s not recent but it continues to inspire and reach the people it is intended to reach.
Brittny thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m currently a senior in college, I graduate this year (undergrad) and I was really afraid of the whole entire process of applying/getting into medical school. I’m involved on campus, and I volunteer but i do not have any shadowing hours as of yet. Your story has really showed me that everything truly does happen in God’s timing! Thank you, and many blessings in your education toward becoming a doctor!!
I am literally, in aww, like words cannot even express how much you inspire me! I am in my sophmore year at university and doing EMT training while doing my regular 20 credit hours on a quarter system and I been very overwhelmed and just felt like what if its all for nothing. What if I can't be a peditric surgeon cause my grades weren't high enough to get into medical school, and after watching your videos I just see how there are so many different paths you could take and still manage to reach your dreams no matter how long it takes. All i really am trying to say is THANK YOU for showing me hope. p.s. this might sound a little creepy and possibly weird but I added your youtube channel's name to my inspo wall and told my friends I wanna start growing in life "thebrittnyway"!
You are very welcome! & I am very flattered that you are inspired by my journey and want to grow "TheBrittnyWay" but I'd much rather that you do it 'TheKatlinWay' because nobody can do you better than you can. It's your superpower!
We often don’t hear of nontraditional paths. Thanks for sharing!

I was a preemie too. Born 1 pound thank God for His graces and mercy
You're a miracle! Praise God!!

Imagine being 27 & feeling like that.. 😥😥
give us an update! how are u doing now?
You can do it! :)
“Claim it. Own it. Boss Up.” On a tshirt please! Loved this video. So inspiring.
Haha! I got you!!
I'm a Florida resident (originally from Mass!) with 2 poor MCAT scores and a 3.4 GPA. You inspire me!
Don't give up!

How is it going? I got accepted to Drexel’s, but I think I might go the informal route because it’s too expensive.
Danielle Renner I decided to go diy because it was cheaper! It’s going well!
@@daniellerenner8383 hey I'm applying to Drexel's as well. What would you consider the informal route?

This video gave me so much hope. Thank you. I don’t have to feel bad for not being able to go to med school right after college.
Omg I go to USF right now! Super inspiring story! God bless ❤️
LOVE THIS! One of my biggest things was just not having the guidance. I knew for a fact I wanted medical school but I didnt know really the right path in regards to tests, grades etc etc. Thank you for this!
Yes, I feel you! I think that's what discourages a lot of people from pursuing this career path. It's hard even when you have all the guidance that you need - add not having guidance on top of that and it seems almost impossible. I'm just grateful that I'm able to help bridge the gap even if it's just a little bit!
Feels daunting. I’ve been a nurse for a year and I’ve decided to go back. Need to take a few pre reqs first and I’m trying to figure out how to get extra curricular I’m as well.
that was so inspiring and motivating, your story is so unique and amazing 💓 i love this sit down talk through stories. i hope you can go more in depth about your work in Nicaragua and teaching experience in the future!
Thank you! I would love to talk more about those experiences. I have so much to share and PLENTY of footage :)
I look up to you so much! I’m from Dorchester Ma and I aspire to be a doctor one day. I’m going back to school this September ❤️
Where i live we go straight into medical school once we finish high school. I decided to go to a public school(completely free), which has a one year admission course. After my first semester i got cold feet and decided to quit and I enrolled myself in a private university to study psychology. I'm supposed to start on march but I feel like I made the wrong decision, since I was so scared of how difficult med school was going to be. I think i'm going back to medicine, which means I'm going to be a year behind the rest of my classmates, and that made me really insecure but your video made me realized that anything is possible, and that being a year behind is definitely not the end of the world. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This was the probably the best 20 minutes I've ever spent listening to someone talk and share their story. You are extremely humble, inspiring and deserving of where you are in life. Thank you for this video! ❤ I wish you continued success!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to me that you took time out of your day to watch my video :)
Watching this looked up and saw 11:11. Thank you god for this!! You know how bad I want to be an Optometrist. You will see me through despite my obstacles 🌱🌻 thank you for this video. I know it’s not recent but it continues to inspire and reach the people it is intended to reach.
Wow this is so amazing! You had so many opportunities.
Great video very inspirational ❤️
Absolutely beautiful journey, you will enrich your patients lives far beyond healthcare.
Ok, so now I'm going to cry. Thank you so much for your kind words. I can only hope that comes true!!
Loved this!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing your story, very inspiring
Brittny thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m currently a senior in college, I graduate this year (undergrad) and I was really afraid of the whole entire process of applying/getting into medical school. I’m involved on campus, and I volunteer but i do not have any shadowing hours as of yet. Your story has really showed me that everything truly does happen in God’s timing! Thank you, and many blessings in your education toward becoming a doctor!!
God's timing is the BEST timing :)
Thanks so much for this video. 🙏🏿
I am literally, in aww, like words cannot even express how much you inspire me!
I am in my sophmore year at university and doing EMT training while doing my regular 20 credit hours on a quarter system and I been very overwhelmed and just felt like what if its all for nothing. What if I can't be a peditric surgeon cause my grades weren't high enough to get into medical school, and after watching your videos I just see how there are so many different paths you could take and still manage to reach your dreams no matter how long it takes. All i really am trying to say is THANK YOU for showing me hope.
p.s. this might sound a little creepy and possibly weird but I added your youtube channel's name to my inspo wall and told my friends I wanna start growing in life "thebrittnyway"!
You are very welcome! & I am very flattered that you are inspired by my journey and want to grow "TheBrittnyWay" but I'd much rather that you do it 'TheKatlinWay' because nobody can do you better than you can. It's your superpower!
