Haha, it was definitely a crazy cycle! I'll be honest and say that, at the end of the day, I agree with the old saying that you just need one to get where you need to go! Good luck on your journey - you got this!! :D
Girl this is sooo impressive, you're clearly a fabulous writer and interviewee considering how many of your interviews turned into acceptances! Would love a video specifically about interviewing tips/how to prepare, and personal statement advice!
Crazy that I came upon this video but I remember meeting you at the Weill visit weekend! So glad to see someone so cool have such phenomenal results in this process- even tho we would've loved to have you in NYC
@@seanmmc333 Yes!! It was so nice meeting you and that weekend was so much fun!! I was also so torn for the longest time with my decision after such a great visit there. I know you’re going to do such amazing things in your journey and NYC/Weill is lucky to have YOU! :)
Congratulations on an amazing application cycle! As a current applicant and somebody that is now getting and waiting on interviews for medical school, I think it would be really helpful. If you posted a to interviewing seeing as you had so much success in the process!
Huge Congrats on your acceptances! Just as a quick question, is Albert Einstein Med School free for all future students? I thought the 1 billion dollar donation they got made tuition free but based on your thought process in this video, it doesn't look like it is. Once again, congrats and best of luck at WashU!!
@@AkulAgarwal-jc3oh that’s a great question! I believe students who joined this upcoming year’s class are benefiting from the donation in the form of full tuition! I don’t 100% know for sure though so maybe someone can jump in…unfortunately I went through the process of narrowing down acceptances throughout the cycle/a little before some other applicants might have. So, I actually rescinded my acceptance to Einstein a few days before their donation announcement came out! (I know right…just my luck haha!) but this means I did not get a financial aid package from them and do not know 100% what that would have looked like for me!
@@kidsfashionexpert Yes! I’m looking forward to going over my app in the future! Generally, I would say mine was very personal regarding my lived experiences because they were a big part of me pursuing the career path. However, instead of focusing on it, or any negatives from those experiences, I talked more about what I learned from them and used anecdotes to show how I’ve grown and demonstrated these skills from those lived experiences in a healthcare setting (and how I hope to use it in the field later!)
@@tla091 Great question! As I explored some schools during accepted student weekends, Zoom prospective student sessions, and interview days, I noticed some schools have only written lecture exams, while others do a combo of written and multiple choice, and others do only multiple choice during pre-clinical. Additionally, some have more interactive components to their pre-club curriculum (I.e., some schools do Team-based and case-based learning a few times a week v. lecture learning, while others do case-based/team-based learning less frequently). Lastly, some schools may test/quiz more frequently or have shorter pre-clinical timeframes, or are even more or less flexible with attendance. I evaluated what I wanted in a curriculum and chose accordingly, but everyone is very different!
@@tla091 as for my learning style, I really like written exams in undergrad for content understanding, but found that I struggled on standardized exams like the MCAT. So I wanted a school that does both, and will allow me some more flexibility to do independent as well as group based learning. I’m not gonna say each school keeps the same things in each block (cause sometimes certain blocks may yield more or less tema based learning, etc.) but it’s nice to evaluate before choosing!
@@SunshineKane1 I’d be happy to share some tips! I know everyone interviews at different times, so if you find the video I post releases a little late, I’m happy to meet to talk or do a mock interview using the link in the video description! Congrats on applying and best of luck on your journey 🎉🫶🏼
@@rare-akabyThank you for reminding me! I just added it to the description (the first link is the original spreadsheet that I found off a forum, the other is the one I customized for myself. If you’re in secondary grind mode rn, I left my school list and links to the secondary prompts on it for prewriting if wanted!)
goddam 23 acceptances is crazy impressive. Tryna get like you in the future lol

Could you go over your AMCAS application!
@@greensoul3747 definitely!❤️
You mentioned your learning style didn’t fit with some schools. What is your learning style and what were the schools lacking that didn’t fit for you?
