- If you've been rejected from medical school it is not the end of the road, or the last shot at this career! Being a doctor is in itself a very long journey and one extra year along the way is not a problem! I hope my experiences can help you overcome your rejections and empower you to tackle your next goal :)

If you've been rejected this year share your story or let me know what you think went wrong in a comment down below! Remember this is not the end of the road. Medicine is a very long career and a 1 year setback is nothing in the big scheme of things! ❤️💪🏼
Sorry to hear that happened to your friend that seems quite unfair! And I can definitely relate to your comments about the UKCAT creeping up on you and physics for the BMAT. It's not always the easiest path. I wish you the best! 😊
Kharma Medic sadly I got rejected so now waiting for my last medical schools response which will be at the end of August
I know how tought it can be. Hopefully you get the last one but if not there will be a lot you can do! Take it one day and one step at a time ❤️
I was rejected in 2016.. I applied in 4 med schools in Croatia,since I am Croatian.. Year later,I tried again and I got in all of the med schools in my country. Three years later,here I am pursuing my dream to become a doctor. I am now starting third year of med school and I couldn't be more happier than I am for all the things that happened to me. I believe it is a good thing that I got rejected that year because it really made me think about my goals and it made me even more determined and motivated to become something that I was dreaming my whole life,a doctor.
For all of you out there who were rejected,try it again. A year,two or five are nothing contrary to rest of your life. Good luck to all of you!
Yes!!
Got rejected today... decided to take a gap year and improve everything as much as I can. Thank you
All the best Julia ❤️
I also got rejected but this vid is really motivating me and cheering me up! Thanks Nasir!
Es Fles hats off for u guys who wanna study medical..

Congrats 🎉🎊
How many times did you apply total?
I got rejected in 2017 then I took a gap year, my NEET scores weren't good enough to get me a good medical school in 2018, took another gap year and made it to the top 0.1% students in India in 2019 and now I'm done with first year of med school and moving on to the second. Although I found this video now, I wish I had this two years ago ❤️
U inspired me dii me too from India neet score in 2019 520 not got seat but this tm I will😊

You make rejection sound way more cuddly then it seems. Thanks dood!
like I said it was one of the hardest periods of my life. But looking back on it in retrospect I can realize a lot of positives and I thought that might help someone going through it right now. My pleasure 🙂
It has. Thanks for the motivation@@KharmaMedic
Props on being persistent (and honest and open about your story)!
Thanks Adnan. Hasn't always been easy but hard work and resilience pays off!
My man Adnan everywhere.

I was in tears after watching this as it brought up memories of my own painful rejection from med schools.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video and letting everyone know that we're not alone and motivating us to keep going.
I love your channel wish you all the very best for your future.
Age 18 is not mature enough to apply to med.school. Personal statement/volunteer work are important too.My daughter did undergraduate-bio med.firstly and she did army cadet , helping old people homes, serving foods to homeless people,and volunteer work at Nepal/ Borneo. It was so bitter/sad experience for her to accept rejections and she tried to make a new start again and again.We cried lots too. However she got into med. school 2yrs ago and now she moves to 3rd year. Everyone can make it . Never give up .
never give up. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story!
In my country if u r above 18/19 (I'm 18, too) & apply for med school exam after being rejected, people say a lot of things 🙁 as they think you're way too old to apply for med school exam 😔..... & since you're rejected earlier, nasty remarks & taunting is common
She wasted many years tho. It’s easy to get in first time
No it’s not. It’s literally minimum 20:1 for each space
For my country it's normal to get into med school around 18-19. I'm 28 and almost complete my resident training.
You are so humble that you already stand out from the dr crowd. Happy studying!
awww thank you! Im studying right now so thanks for the motivation 😁
This man is help. Period.
Straight up (21, 21)
I got rejected in selecting medical school by .5% in my 3rd attempt here in Pakistan..so I choose microbiology
Was too much disappointed ,even my dad doesn't gave me pocket money for 1month..then he told me this is not end of road..just peruse some other field ..so I'm a microbiologist now pass out from the no 1 university of Pakistan Alhamdulillah.
But that was so crucial time period for me to take the right decision!!
Ahh great I’m in my dental school in pakistan . I was in depression when i found out my mdcat score isnt tht good . But i m happy tht atleast i m becoming a doc

Woww great dear

And thanks
Congrats to you! Just came across this video but failure is truly redirection. Rejection is such a natural part of life that we're taught so little about. I'm starting as a law school grad this September in Queen Mary and I was told I wouldn't be able to get in! Best of luck in your studies and thanks for sharing your experience :)
Thanks man, your video is really inspiring. Seeing how you get back to your feet motivated me to start again. I got rejected for this year’s entry (2019/20 cycle). My UKCAT was actually quite well according to my peers. In retrospect, I think I was bound to be rejected by all 4 medical schools when I applied to Oxford, Barts, Dundee and Leeds, coupled with the fact that I’m an arrogant ass. Now I’m trying to work on my personality, be less of a know-it-all and be more humble. Hopefully I could get into medical school this time around.
Really appreciate your advice.
It takes a lot to be that introspective and decide to make change. Good luck man!
Prototype Zero How much was your UKCAT score?
One of the most humble person ever. Thanks for the video! 🙏🏼
My pleasure and thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story, I think it's very valuable to med hopefuls! I got rejected from med out of high school (Aus) in 2014, so I did a BSc, then wanted to see medicine up close, so I did a masters in nursing. Pretty quickly realised a) I adore healthcare and b) I was far more curious about what the doctors on the floor were doing than my own training. I'm applying for med school next year.
I definitely don't regret how long it took me to realise I wanted to do med after all. It's only by being a nurse that I realised what I truly want out of career, and medicine is that, even though I've seen first hand how arduous, stressful and sleep-depriving medicine is. I've gone from socially anxious and awkward in first year uni to relatively easily talking to and caring for vulnerable strangers going through their most challenging days. Doctors and academics have told me they think the grad pathway to med is better than undergrad because students are far more mature and have handled more of life and its trials. I've also been told many times that the best doctors tend to be nurses, so that's a plus. For me, medicine is the only career that makes sense to me. I've also finally done away with the concept that I hammered into my own mind that I'm not good enough. So I think I'm truly ready to try for med. Fingers crossed!
Hello, this has been truly inspiring for me to ready. How did you go with your application?
I’m also in Australia currently syudying an bachelor of nursing and midwifery and learning more and more of how interested and passionate I am about going into medicine. I truely relate to your experience. I’m in second year now and trying to get in through the undergraduate route (cause it’s an open door for me soo I was like why not take it). Every t8me I’m onward I find my self looking out to see the medical doctors work, read notes, etc. This is my third time trying, ready to persevere however long it takes God willing.
The best teacher is a person with experience not a person with sole knowledge. Thank you Nasir :)
I received 3 Post interview rejections earlier this year. It was a hard blow. I was probably over eager and perhaps naive but I really wasn’t scared for my interviews. I enjoyed them and felt that I was confident in putting across my case. However, I’m taking this opportunity to take a year out and work as well as gain some experience. It’s made me realise how much I want this and I will work 10X harder to get to where I want to be. Thank you so much for this video- it makes you realise you’re not the only one!
Thank you for this video!! Honestly relate so much, I'm moving away from home too to do an undergrad degree because my UCAT suckeddd and I botched the one interview offer I had. Hopefully I can figure stuff out too, whether it's resitting the UCAT or waiting to take the GAMSAT and do postgraduate med. Feels good to hear it from someone who's genuinely been there, now I guess it's time to let go of rejection and think about opportunities instead! :)
Any update?
Motivation at it's finest. You know, since you have a small channel, it actually feels like a 1-1 situation when it comes to motivating us. I actually feel as if I'm sat right opposite you. Thank you for being so inspiring from day one. I hope everything goes well for you this time. May God bless you and your Family. Please pray that I get my A*'s in the coming A-Level exams! Love you Bro, until next time! xD
Maddoc, how are you!? That's so lovely to hear, I genuinely feel like I'm talking to you guys through the lens so it's great some of you feel that way too ❤️Very appreciative of all these blessings haha. I got my fingers crossed for you, smash them!
@@KharmaMedic I'm doing great, still haven't forgotten about you haha. In regards to me smashing the exams, my Dad always encourages me to say, ''I can, I must and I Will'' (Copyright does apply here...) xD
@@KharmaMedic it also helps that you like and/or reply to EVERY comment. Thats dedication man!
Always, talking to you guys is the best part!
Thank you so much Nasir for doing all this, you’re very considerate and genuinely caring! This video honestly made me feel allot better so thank you again. There’s so much pressure from everyone as soon as they find out you want to medicine and one of the worst things is that you don’t won’t to disappoint anyone, especially family and friends who all put so much faith in you! It’s very comforting and encouraging to know that I’m not the only person going through this.
A lot of what you said is very relatable. The pressure can be a lot sometimes but try to take a step back and focus on yourself. At the end of the day you are doing all this for you and not anyone else 🙂 A lot of people go through it but you never hear about it! It's mostly sunshine and rainbows. But yes it's totally normal! All the best 💪🏼
Shiny Darwin keep it on the low, way less pressure
Wow you actually take the time to respond to allot of comments, thank you for the informative video you are honestly inspiring :)
Im trying to survive in medical school, this channel heal my soul
Ahhh I would have never guessed you didn't get into medical school the first time, but I know that most people go through this. Cardiff offers started coming out yesterday and will likely come out today and tomorrow. Cardiff is my last hope so if I don't get in that's 4/4 rejections. I'm hoping that I get this offer but I will remain optimistic if I don't because going on a gap year doesn't seem so bad to me (I just hate the idea of doing the UKCAT again!)
It happens to a lot of us! I wish you the best of luck. Even if it doesn't work out, there is so much positive out there to taking a gap year or doing a degree and I truly believe that. I have my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼 Don't let the UKCAT stand in your way, lots of practice and you'll smash it! Let me know if you get in !
@@KharmaMedic Thank you so much :)
onyinye. Any update?
How did it go?
@@conniewilliamson973 I didn't get the Cardiff offer but I got into Lancaster med school through UCAS extra. I've now finished my first year at Lancaster and I love it there! That rejection was truly a blessing in disguise :)
Omg I finished all of my interviews!!! Your channel was so helpful you don't even know. Thank you so much for everything and I hope to see you at kings! :)
Congratulations! I hope you come to king's 😁 so glad I could help and all the best 👊🏼
I was rejected in med school in my country because I felt like med school was too big for me and I had my doubts on whether or not I'd be able to work as hard as needed to make it through, I ended up not prepared for the entrance exam and failed. During my gap year I learned German all by my own and prepared for the entrance exam and this time I made it! Now I'm on my third year of studies and doing pretty great! I was surprised by the amount of learning hours I can pull and how with every new subject that I learn I feel like completing a missing puzzle piece in my knowledge. The very best thing that I was told is that other people that were rejected got motivated by my willingness to pursue med school and didn't give up on their dream either.
MED SCHOOL IS HARD but if you're willing to spend years of your life to learn about new things and use your knowledge to help others in need, then definitely GO FOR IT!
I was rejected twice, but these 2years taught me so much, i feel so mature now ready for this year after this pandemic get's over

I really needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing your story
Love it! Rejection is redirection .. a chance to grow :)
You motivated me a lot and I really want to thank you for that. I wish you good luck for your career 🙏🏼 we’ll all make it !!
Glad that I could! Comments like this are what keep me going ❤️
LOL. Declined my offer for biomedical science because I got rejected by all 4 medical schools (pre-interview). Gap year here we go 😂😂.
Your UKCAT vids were very helpful btw, predicted grades were what let me down.
fair enough! Gap year here we come! Hopefully your actual grades pull through and you'll get in next year. Good luck 🙂
I've applied to medical school this year for the first time and got rejected from all of the medical schools I've applied to and I've been so upset about it over the last few months and start doubting myself. However, after hearing your successful stories it motivates me to move on to the next stage as well as it gives me so much confidence. Thank you for bringing me into this video and this is extremely emotional and encouraging as it makes me realise that rejection is not the end of my journey.
Same thing for me, what will you do next year?
I’m not a medicine student but I love your videos so much. They are helpful.
Thank you so much for this. Kinda cried a bit at the last portion of the video because I've been dreaming to do this for a long time since. Being rejected this year is kind of a blessing I guess since it'll give me some time to prepare for what's to come when entering med school. I really needed this video and was just scrolling through your vids to prepare for med school. I'm pretty motivated right now to do my best in studying and I'll apply again for next year. Wish me luck! :))
Hey man. I know it can be really tough. But like you said there are good things that will come out of it. Make they most of your time and prepare yourself for next year 🙂
You are so inspiring! Thank you so much for this video!!! Love from Greece
Came across your vlog quite by accident! Was looking for some motivation and you are just great KM! Thanks a lot for inspiring so many people. Keep up the good work doc!
Thank you so much ❤️
Don't stop bro, i just graduated from med school last year. It's hard but if that is your dream don't stop trying and keep grinding! good luck
Hi!
Got rejected today. I've seen your video some days ago which really helped me sort things out and not feel alone in this.
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Thanks for opening up to teach us all the things that took you years to learn.
I learn and apply a lot of things from your videos.
I am a Ghanaian Pharmacy student 🤗
Thanks for the helpful youtube videos
Thank you soo much for raising awareness about this! Many students go through the same situation and I’m happy you shared your experience and how you overcame these obstacles. I applied to do medicine and got rejected from all my medicine unis after the interview. This had me broken for quite a while but this has definitely given me courage to keep going and do well in my current exams (A Levels) I just want to say congrats 😊🎉and I appreciate your videos! Such an inspiration! ❤️😊🎉
I've been there and I know it can be a difficult time! But really everyone's path is different and that's it. Your positive attitude is key to moving forward from this. There's so much to do now! Best of luck in your A levels! Smash them, get more work experience, reapply and you'll be in before you know it 😊🤞🏻🍀
You applying this year?
Thank you so much! You're so inspiring! All of your videos are so so helpful, I just can't thank you enough :D I wish you the best in life
thank YOU. You guys are the best. I'm so happy I can help 🙂
Even i‘m not an medical student your videos inspired and motivated me a lot as an economic student. While i‘m watching your videos I have learnt how to deal with failures and give the best as much as I can. Thank you Nasser and keep going with your videos👍🏼
Greetings from Switzerland!
You have no idea how much this video helped me. I am passionate in getting into medical school and one failure, rejection wont stop me from achieving that goal. Thank you
That's amazing to hear. I wish you all the best !
I needed to hear this after facing rejection. Thanks.
I'm a high schooler rn and haven't applied to anything but this video has made me feel so much better. I'm planning on majoring in biology or chemistry for undergrad and it's so scary to see all these people around me applying to med school or knowing exactly what they want in life. so thanks dude :)
Such an inspirational and motivating video! Thank YOU KM!
You're welcome!! 🙏🏼😊
Rejection is definitely a feeling which everyone can not take or accept it. It takes a lot to allow one self to believe in the saying what ever happens is for the best. Sigh. Being a CA student I have closely witnessed things on this line if not rejection but yes failures despite all the hard work and when you see some one easily crossing the threshold of merits if i may say despite NOT working hard I guess one breaks there. But of well, life does not come wrapped in beautiful sheets, it is incomprehensible at least for me but the key to survive in this battle is just belief, hard work and let go. Sorry for the rant and lovely video. keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you for opening up about this
Great work and thanks for sharing it!
God this is so helpful and comforting... fingers crossed for the one uni which still hasn't rejected me but my hopes aren't too high...also love your channel it's been so so helpful in general!
awh that was really courageous and inspiring!
❤️🙏🏼
@@KharmaMedic hey bro, can u say in which branch of medical science are you studying science?
I discovered your channel only recently and have been so addicted to your videos, i find them so inspiring and spontaneous and just beautiful. Actually your vlogs are motivating me to start my own RUclips channel since i’m a medical student too. Bless you 🙏🏻
Thanks for making this video!
Thank you Nasir for another motivating video 👍 You can be a great counselor besides your journey to becoming a doctor 😊 you're absolutely right... not to give up and persevere no matter what... Best of luck 🙏
Thanks So Much for your video, gave me hope not to give up after being rejected for medical school and to try later on in life and that its not the end. Thanks
Thank you for sharing. From your videos I can tell you are a dedicated determined person and willing to help people. Looking forward to following your journey and see what speciality you will end up doing🤔😀. All the best
Thank you laylas 😊😊

Thank you for making this video.
I myself am going through a bad time in my life but after watching this video I found clarity on what I should be doing next.
Once again thank you for this video and all the best for your future endeavors. 😄😄
This video is soo inspiring I keep coming back to it. Thank you!!
Wow your story is very inspiring. Hope you can become a great doctor one day. ❤
hi, I just wanted to let you know that I am very inspired by your story, I spend my whole high school years studying sciences, so when I didn't get into biotechnology (I expected it) I decided to spend a year to retake the selectivity exams here in spain, I even thought about doing a two year degree that would make it easier for me to get into biotechnology, but for my mom, that wasn't a choice. She forced me to get into college no matter what. the result is, I had to leave my beloved sciences and get a degree in marketing, that instead of 4 years took me 7 years!!! in the end, worst choice of my life, but my dad just passed away and my mom was really controlling, I didn't have the support I needed... I still regret it nowadays. I'm about to turn 28.
This man is a blessing
Thank you for sharing - you have really inspired me to have a strong mindset when applying to medical school
And now that's what called a "DOSE"
I LOVED THISSS!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
thank you for sharing your experiences :)
Hey ! A few days ago, I just learned that I failed my exam to enter Vet school.
Feel disappointed, and so I went to see your video ! It was my backup video, in case I got rejected and well here I am
I'm pretty sad that I got rejected. I work for it, and yet, at the end of the year I'll not be in a vet school
But looking at a bigger picture of my year, I do feel proud of me, for all the work I put in this year.
I'm proud because I grew so much in just 2 years.
So, for now, I'll rest. I earned it. And next year, I'll take on that exam again, and make schools rushing to me haha !
Thank you for this video Kharma ! Sending you much love.
I'm really proud of you, because I've been watching ur vids for 5 years, and now, you're a fine doctor !!
It really motivates me
I'm here because I just knew that I wasn't on the acceptance list of medical school, neither dentistry. It really is devastating to see how all my efforts, my parent's, all the money (they don't have) they spent on me to prepare for med are ALL WASTED. It is even harder to see your friends and peers' names on that same list. I'm considering a gap year, but only god knows how much I feel sorry for my parents, and how much this rejection is killing me.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I hope it helps some people out!
I’m sure it will. I honestly feel so much better right now, and I feel I’m not afraid anymore to take a gap year and improve my application. You have no idea how much your words touched me. Thanks again.
Yay! thank you so much for your comment ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video, very inspiring 👏🏻🤗
❤️
Thank you nasir !! This video is just wow 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Another DOSE of motivation 😄Thanks heaps!!❤️
my pleasure ❤️ #kharmadose
Great & relatable video Nasir!
Thank you! ❤️
great advice! failure is your best chance to grow so long as you use it well. By getting rejected the first time you grew as a person and piled on experiences that would help you in the future and make you a better doctor. I see that you are studying for the USMLE. Are you planning on coming stateside for residency and eventually to practice medicine?
Been rejected too from the schools i really wanted. Was so sure I'd get in and didn't apply anywhere but those two schools. Ended up with 1 and a half gap year. Now writing my first year med exams, about to go into second year. Of course i regret how i handled all this, but I'm just glad im still pushing. And i know I'll make it. We've got this 💪
A NEET 2020 aspiratant...results will be out soon and I’m trying to deal with the fear of getting rejected this year. Thanks for this video, makes me feel like taking a gap year doesn’t seem so bad after all huh! :)
Thanks bro... I'm currently dealing with rejection from medical school and your video really helped cheer me up and focused on what to do next.. Thanks again man... Really helpful 😊
Julius Rono Might I ask what the universities were?
I entered medical school at age 19; but I failed 2 of critical subjects of second year (Anatomy II and Biochemistry I) long story short I’m repeating second year!
Rejection, failure and lagging behind hurts you so bad but it makes you stronger, it makes you a better person .
To all the people out there who are struggling to stand on their feet after a big failure or rejection; no matter how hard it is YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS😉 Just believe in yourself and move forward.
Thank you Nasir for sharing your experience with us.
P.S. please excuse my poor English .
You are lucky being able to resit your year. I did another health degree, not medicine, and I wasn't allowed to resit the year so I got told to leave. You were allowed to resit an exam but you had to do it in the summer so you passed before your next year. I think if I was able to resit the year and it's teaching, I would have had more chance of passing the 2 exams I failed the 2nd time around.
@@roly2452 I’m sorry you went through this. I wish you all the best for your future carrier.
I had to repeat the subjects during fall and winter semester rather than just doing the exams on summer.
Thank you for tell us this tough story i motivated 💜
Thank you very much !Just get rejected today so I'm felling lost and stupid like "what's wrong with me, why can't I achieve it event though with a hard work", but these felling won't help me in my situation. If it doesn't happen now it means i wasn't ready for it even though I want it so much. So you're right, this situation just makes my dream more valuable. But even with all the positivity I have, I can't deny I am felling low and my faith is questionable...
I’ve had 2 interviews this year (2 pre-interview rejections) and my interviews went alright but I’m not sure it went good enough to constitute to an offer. I’m living in constant fear everyday, refreshing my emails.I pray I’ve done enough even if I’m at the bottom of their interview score cut off. Otherwise the medicine dream will be over. I’m already on a gap year so I’m gonna have to go ahead and pursue another degree. I feel sick to my stomach. I should have prepared more for my interviews, I should have not let my nerves stop me from giving it my all.😔😔😔😔
Hey Idrass, congrats on the 2 interviews! Fingers crossed they were enough. The dream is not over, really I have friends on the course who have applied 3 or 4 times before they got in. It's not always an easy path. Don't be so hard on yourself and I wish you all the best!
Kharma Medic Hey Nasir! Thanks for the reassurance, I really do hope I get an offer somehow. I really admire the resilience of your friends to get into med school, I can only hope to have the same.Since having my last interview yesterday, I can’t seem to get it off my mind. Decisions come back in the first 2 weeks of March which is quite a while away. Do you have any suggestions to get my mind off it?
It's tough to but focus on the other important things in your life right now. Maybe your upcoming tests, or friends and family or whatever makes you happy!
Kharma Medic haha slightly hard to do when you’re on a gap year that revolves around applying to medicine🤣🤣I’m just gonna try and keep myself busy like you said though! thanks again Nasir
Kharma Medic Hey Nasir!!!!!!!! quick update: I GOT INTO MY TOP CHOICE MED SCHOOL! I’m so happy because it was so unexpected and I honestly thought I ruined all chances at interview.I never even watched this vide, I was saving it for when I got rejected lmao.Thank you so much you helped me with my whole application and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. You helped me smash my ukcat, write a banging ps and prepare for interview. In all honesty I wouldn’t have been able to get into medical school if I hadn’t stumbled open your ukcat videos last summer.
I wish you nothing but successes in this life and the next! Thank you again.
I can totally identify with your story, i will comment mine in the hope that it may be helpful to someone. I lost four years in medical school because I had panic attacks and could not take my exams. They were very hard years, where I suffered a lot and I wondered if I really wanted to continue on medical school. When I finally finished my career and started as a Rheumatology resident , everything made sense. Each difficulty, each fear, gave me resistance, patience and courage ,things that are crucial now, because as a rheumatologist I face challenges on a daily basis. I can assure you that everything is worth in the end, being able to get up and move on is indispensable in this profession.I´m sorry for my english, Im from Argentina. God bless you all.
I’m short of words.. is all I can say. May Allah reward you for this. I’m going through the same things for two years since I completed my undergrad. Got rejected for the 3rd time and I took it really hard this year. I was in loooong depression after the exam and I lost the track. I lost myself, lost my confidence, It was miserable. But then I thought to myself that its not how things are done. If you really want something you gotta work for it and stop thinking like this is the only time I can get into medical schools I talked to people who took gap years. Pushed myself out of it.. I started working in January 2020 took out my books and this time I was sure what I had to do because One thing I realised in this whole period is that I wanted to be a doctor and that was something i was sure of. Alhumdulillah, I’m done with 40% of my preparations right at this moment. my test this year for medical school is in August, I am sure to get selected this time. Thankyou for this video.
Best of luck! Stay strong ❤️
You're such an inspiration
26 and really wanting to get into medical school but just bombed in the HPAT exam today- Irish/Australian equivalent of UKCAT- and am really bummed about it. Feel like I'm old to try again next year. Particularly as a single female, I worry that taking on a medical degree now, will have a significant opportunity cost over the next 7 years of my life. But I also can't shake the want to be a doctor. So frustrated.
Thanks for this!
🙏🏼❤️
This video is the reason i exist today. My predicteds were low and hence i couldnt apply to med school this year while all my other friends applied and it was probably the most devastating thing ever, but my real finals are still left. Everytime i feel like its all over for me, i watch this video..literally just this one single video (downloaded on my phone). Nasir,im not joking,youve saved me. And you arent even a doctor yet! This video might just be just another upload for you but you have no idea how many times i've watched each second of this 12 minutes and 12 seconds of this precious video. I know this sounds really cheesy and this comment is super long but the best part about this channel is that you actually give individual attention to your subscribers (kinda something we all will miss once this channel hits it big...it already has anyway). Im going through probably one of the most toughest times yet of my life and it feels like theres no escape because just about everyones doing better but me. I feel like an absolute failure. At this point in time,i have no one standing by my side but you (digitally but mentally too for me) and im so glad to have found your channel. I always looked down on gap year takers but youve changed my mind completely. Thank you god for giving this world a Kharma Medic
I don't even know what to say. I'm really happy I can help in some way! Just remember to take it one step at a time. Not everyone gets into med school at the same time and that's totally okay! You're on your own path, don't worry about anyone else 🙂 good luck moving forward and keep your chin up!
Thank you for this video ❤️
I needed that, dr. .... thank you o much
Thank you! I started using your technique
been rejected by 4 med schools this year - next year I hope to make my dreams come true !
I got 4 rejections which was the maximum medical schools I could’ve applied to through UCAS. I only had two weeks to prepare for the UKCAT, I had no prior knowledge of what this examination was or what it was about. I used your videos and preparation advice, I got the average score. My personal statement was pretty decent but I didn’t make the UKCAT threshold for one of the schools I applied to. The other three told me my bachelor’s degree wasn’t equivalent to the minimum standard requirement. I graduated from the University of The Bahamas. They were impressed with my application and referred me to do another BSc in Biological Science. I was really discouraged and heartbroken, it took me a while to look into other plans and execute them. Rejections can really be a downer especially when you try to put forth your best always but, it encourages you to never give up and help you realize your reaction to failures (which is inevitable) is what molds you.
The non-equivalence sounds frustrating! Good for you for pushing through and moving forward. Like you said it's what molds you and will be valuable in the future.
Simeka Williams can u tell me ur ucat score plz?
i didn’t pass my exam the first time i did it, i was really sad and many people told me to ask for help but i wanted to enter because of me, not my contacts. so i had an involuntary gap year and took the test again and passed it!!! yayyyy! and when i was in my second year an awful thing happened to my country (Nicaragua) an almost war, and couldn’t continue because i had to leave my country and i lost all the work i did that year but i came back and i’m doing my second year again, it’s going good so far
Looking at all your previous videos, I would never have thought that you was rejected from medicine. I had the impression that you had it all under control and you just applied and got in. Currently i'm also planning on applying to KCL for med/dent, at KCL pharmacy atm
I like to think I have it all under control! 😛 But yes I was rejected the first time hence why I'm now a graduate student!
thank you for this video 🥺 yesterday i sat my ucat for the first time and only had 2 weeks prep which is why i had bad scores. i know i wont get into the unis i like, but this video comforted me and motivates me to try again next year 💙
Thanks a lot)) I also faced rejection and yes at that time it was the end of the world for me. But I work harder to get it in the next year, I`m on my fourth year now but I steal getting benefits from this experience cause it`s really remydes me of how important it is for me .
thank you for making this video
I got in first time to 3 places but only with countless hours of work, competitive work xp at hospital and gp 2 years of volunteering at dementia care home, interview courses ukcat courses etc and practicing with my friends for the interview :- work your butt off good is never good enough. Now I am a 2 year medic got decile one in first year and decile 2 in the first exam of the two currently the second set of exams to go , just fished revising 15 hours sesh, anything is possible guys you just gotta put your favourite study playlist and get cracking !!!
Your story is very inspiring💪
Hey! Great video, keep up the good work! I'm a Canadian Student at the University of Toronto right now, I was wondering where did you apply for your volunteer experience with trauma patients?
Thanks Aaron! Ahhh University of Toronto! The memories 😊 I volunteered at the Canadian center for victims of torture near the Eaton center, on Jarvis if I remember correctly. Gave me a lot of good experience and they are lovely over there.
@@KharmaMedic lmao, thanks so much! I'll check to see if they're looking for volunteers. I have some time this summer after I graduate, so it's great timing!!
really needed this 💙💙
You got it 😉
Kharma Medic thank you so much :) you’re truly making an impact on many people
Thank YOU! 🙏🏼❤️
I started medical school at 18 in Australia and I am now finishing up my last yr before clinical placement and I honestly wish I'd been rejected. I don't think I'm ready
