You're the most honest med school vlogger out there. I am subscribed to lots and not one of them are as honest as you are. You deserve 100 thousand subscribers for that.
This is super encouraging. I'm in the process of applying right now and have one interview for October. I wasn't thinking I'd get an interview at all because my MCAT is a 22 so even lower than yours! However, I have retaken the MCAT since then and am currently waiting on my score that should be released sometime this month. The school that offered me an interview is actually the one I love the most. I've visited there a couple of times and just love the atmosphere. Praying I get in if its the Lord's will but we will just have to wait and see! Thanks for posting this video! There's a lot of negativity and judgement surrounding a lower MCAT score so I appreciate you having the courage to post this. I wish people would realize that MCAT scores are not always a reflection on the intellectual capability of an individual
aDashofMo pretty well actually. I was accepted at one school and waitlisted for another that I'm going to hold out for. My family isn't in a position to pick up and move at the moment so I'm just praying and waiting to be offered a spot at the school I was waitlisted for
I am a US MD (allopathic) medical student and I have been on the admissions committee for the past admissions cycle. aDashofMo (uploader) says that her mcat was 23 (below 500). I'm not sure if it was ever mentioned in the video but I have a strong feeling she attends a DO medical school and I wanted to share some ideas I picked up while working with the admissions office for the past year on getting accepted to traditional MD (allopathic) medical schools. If you don't have the right numbers (sGPA
BDNF14 can you briefly explain the difficulty of getting a residency match with Caribbean med schools? Because the big 5 currently claims that they have great match rate, so I was wondering how the claim differs from reality since I'm applying this cycle, thank you!
So in order to understand this, you have to understand how caribbean medical schools work. they are 'for-profit' medical schools and they ONLY let students who pass practice USMLE to take the actual one. Meaning if you don't pass the practice usmle, you don't get to take the real one. So essentially, they prevent anyone from their school who are not going to pass the USMLE from taking the actual test. So assuming caribbean graduate has decent/low usmle score (naturally, they are likely to perform low as they've probably performed lowly on the mcat. They do show a strong correlation - especially CARS section). Will they match? Maybe. Will they match to specialty of choice? probably not. Will they match to their preferred location (top choice)? probably not. When you say this to a Caribbean medical graduate, they would immediately tell you that they have 'history' of someone matching into some competitive specialty. But you have to understand that those are outliers as residency match can sometimes rely on factors outside of step 1 score and clinical grades (connections, family ties, etc). So you have to look at the actual match list from say, Ross - you'll realize that most matches are primary care (family med, pediatrics, etc - least competitive specialties). But most importantly, you have to compare those numbers to number of medical students that started as first years and caribbean medical schools don't readily publish this data. Essentially, you don't know how many of your M1 classmates will eventually make it to 4th year and match. They also don't publish ones who failed to match. There was one year where their entire data was published sometime around 2013 and I remember # of matches/ # of total M1's being outrageously low. Also be sure to do research on stories of who failed to math out of Caribbean medical schools and why Caribbean graduates have to score higher to match into a specialty with a lower average step 1 score. Residency program directors are aware of that both (many, but not all) DO schools and all Caribbean medical schools have limited clinical exposure. This is because DO schools are usually located in the middle of no where (poor patient population/diversity, almost no level-1 trauma centers) and has no dedicated medical center/hospital (inconsistent clinical exposure) and the same is true for Caribbean medical schools. They advertise that their affiliate clinical rotation sites are in new york but those rotation sites usually provide poor & subpar clinical education environment because those hospitals are not traditional teaching hospitals - they have no obligation to train medical students as UCLA medical center would teach UCLA medical students. For these reasons (and many more), residency program directors tend to choose applicants with higher step1 score that will compensate for their short comings in other aspects of the application. There are many more reasons why program directors usually prefer MD over DO or Caribbean students with higher step 1 scores but it's too complex for me to explain fully in this comments section and you won't really understand this until you're a 3rd,4th year in medical school. in a 'very generalized' summary: 1. USMD - if you pass step 1, you WILL match. Reasonable step 1 & research opportunities = no doors are closed 2. DO - if you pass step 1, you will match. Just like Caribbeans, very very difficult to match into competitive specialties. 3. Caribbean MD - if you pass step 1, you MAY NOT match AND very unlikely to match into competitive specialties. (given that you make it to 4th year - as significant number of M1's don't make it to M4 year). I know this information is very limited but I can't spend too much time writing a detailed, comprehensive answer to your question. I also have close friends that are going through Caribbean medical (Ross and St. George's) schools (m4's) right now and this is what they've told me about their clinical training. Hope this is helpful.
Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. I didn't expect this type of response so I appreciate how you took your time to compile all of this for us.
Thank you so much for this! I'm in the same boat as you. Low MCAT, ok GPA, lots of extracurriculars & great interview skills. You just gave me so much hope. I appreciate your honesty.
I've gotten in and for some reason i still watch these vids lol. Idk i guess i enjoy listening to the stories of other individuals and seeing their success
Something to consider from this video: she had a high gpa to start with .... and the BIG QUESTION IS: HOW WAS SHE CONSIDERED TO BE GIVEN AN INTERVIEW IN THE FIRST PLACE? was it a high gpa that compensate a low mcat scores? was it a combination of the two? Med school wouldn't waste their time giving you an interview if they felt that you didn't have the potential to become a medical student.
I'm not exactly sure either how I was given an interview in the first place since I am not a part of an admissions committee. But I'm thankful the schools I got an interview to took a chance on me. Thank you for your comment. I wish you well on you medical journey. :)
This video was so encouraging! I was feeling so discouraged about my MCAT score but this is helping me think about all the other parts of my application that I can focus on now that I've overcome that hurdle. Thank you :)
It ain’t cheap to be going to medical school. Besides the tuition, how do you fare paying the rent each month, especially if it’s in NYC or LAX? They’re like around $2,500+ each month. I feel like med students contributes the most to our US economy, borrowing and lending $250,000 and that’s just from one person. Who pays for YOUR rent and boarding and food and car payments?
I agree. However, I do believe people need to hear that it is possible. I know when I was applying, I needed to just see that someone out there made it even though they didn't have the greatest "statistics."
Hey a dash of mo, I wanted to know if you could tell me what extracurricular activities you did etc. I just want to know what other things you did to really make your med school application shine! (personal statement, extracurricular, volunteer etc.). Thanks!
So what state did you get in because most to all of the schools I don't think would accept a low MCAT score. But states like Louisiana usually have lower standard. I take the MCAT next week and I'm thinking about options
I'm sorry, I cannot reveal that information at this time. However, if you do look up averages and accepted ranges of medical school's MCAT & GPA, then you will be able to get an idea of what school's you should look at applying to.
She has said in the comments that she does not attend a US allopathic medical school which is important to realize. I'm a medical student at a Louisiana MD school in New Orleans. We certainly do have lower Mcat averages than much of the nation. For LSU, you want To have at least a 3.7 GPA and at least a 505 mcat. The average mcat score right now is 509. Very few ppl get interviews with scores under 503. With hard work, it's very possible!
Alisha Watson Hi, states like LA do not have low standards! They accept qualified students just as well as other schools. The MCAT is only one component in the admissions process. Please educate yourself before posting such an uninformed comment.
Adrienne Murphy ok pause. Key word lower not low in general.It is true that some areas are more competitive than others as well as schools that favor minorities and such so your odds are better. You certainly can’t deny that there is a gradient. Now I have friends in medical schools who were rejected and were advised by other ms2s in Louisiana to apply there the second time as a back up and it worked. They are now both ms3s. You have no idea what experiences me and my fellow students have had. So please don’t come at me with an ignorant comment. Your comment clearly came from a prideful place but there are plenty of articles to support what I’ve said, and even a fellow med student who agreed above you. For any future med student like me reading this looking at schools in LA or that favor to minorities if you fit that demographic would be great for your odds to get in:) good luck!
My daughter got 510 MCAT score. We have any idea about medical school in USA.. we parents are high position in IT sector.we know everything about IT side. can you please tell us is my daughter will get Medical school ? she got GPA 3.90 .
I'm in my 3rd year of undergrad and i switched my major to chemistry and I hope med schools do not judge me from the amount of years I've been as an undergrad :/
Same. Before this semester started, I changed my major to medical microbiology. I don’t have regrets even though it does put me back an extra year or so and it puts my GPA in jeopardy vs a typical biology major (NO OFFENSE!). But the non-traditional route is starting to be the “traditional route”. For example, premeds having kids, people taking years off to find themselves, full-time jobs, changing majors, taking longer than 4 years to graduate. I strongly doubt they will see this as a negative. Just make sure you’re doing great in your classes, volunteer, do research, and possibly, get a position in the medical field! Best of luck!
Not everyone's medical journey is the same- and that's ok! There are a ton of doctors and medical students that spent more than 4 years in undergrad. You will succeed! Believe in yourself. :)
Unfortunately, I am unable to do that because my list would be about 50 medical schools long. However, if you see the links below, I used those to compare my GPA and MCAT score with the schools average GPA and MCAT scores. This helped me to narrow down what medical schools were, in my opinion, worth applying to. :) Hope you find this helpful! www.startmedicine.com/app/medstatistics.asp medical-schools.startclass.com/ www.princetonreview.com/med-school
Hi! I have a question. I was looking at the MCAT deadline acceptance dates for early applications and I am literally taking the MCAT 3 days after the deadline. However, I am applying in time for the early application deadline. Does this mean I can't apply for the early application date for med schools?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and positivity! Even though I will try my absolute best on studying for the MCAT, I am worried as well since standardized testing is one of my weaknesses. I am involved in extracurriculars, but I sometimes still feel like I am not doing enough compared to my peers. Were you involved in research, scribing, and traveling abroad in mission trips when you were applying? I have not done any of that besides volunteering and leadership.
Thank you for your kind words! If medicine is truly your passion, I have no doubts that you will be able to succeed! Have confidence in yourself. :) I paid for some of the medical school fees, and my parents also helped me out with the fees as well.
I would say I did well in high school. However, high school grades don't necessarily matter because medical schools looking at your high school transcripts. Your undergraduate GPA weighs heavily though.
This video goes to further proof the 5% MCAT rule to be accepted. 5% of 47 applications is 2.3 And if you got accepted at 1 then that is even less than 5%. Tbh, the amount of money spend on 47 applications and that spend on taking the MCAT another time to get a better score is comparable. I would suggest, get to know as many statistics as possible before applying at your score. But, do not trust anomalies like this video to define the norm. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. All the Best!
You'll make a great doctor since you love interviews and love people! Being a doctor (at least in clinic) is basically interviewing people about their personal health concerns all day! This was interesting and encouraging. My MCAT was low. My second higher than my first, and magna cum laude but still. I am right there with you, I love people and I love interviews! I am applying this May when AMCAS and ACCOMAS open. You said apply early and that for you you had secondaries in by January, how early did you submit the AMCAS and ACCOMAS?
I can honestly say that its a bit annoying when individuals who are choosing to share information about their undergrad, Pre-Med or MD experiences refuse to reveal important information such as their own MCAT scores, GPA etc., or choose not to elaborate on what is considered "low GPAs" and/or "low MCAT" in their own opinions.
You're the most honest med school vlogger out there. I am subscribed to lots and not one of them are as honest as you are. You deserve 100 thousand subscribers for that.
Yeah I love her honesty! Who else do you recommend?
Do you follow Andrea Tooley? If not, she's a resident now, but in med school she made some pretty darn honest blogs and blog posts haha.

You got accepted to a U.S. allopathic medical school?
No, I did not.
junaids23 so you got into a DO school?
your story gives me hope. but you're the exception most people with those stats wont get in most likely
I agree. However, I do believe people need to hear that it is possible. I know when I was applying, I needed to just see that someone out there made it even though they didn't have the greatest "statistics."
Did she say 487 applications? Thats rediculous

How hard is the MCAT? I know it's one of the most painful exam, but I never been there, so can anyone describe the pain?
Tony Lin painful....like I'm studying 8-9 hours a day for 3 months and I'm still feeling like I am unprepared.

what medical school did you get accepted to in america
You're like my favorite med school student
Thank you for your extremely kind comment!!
awww such a sweet person. but i'm still not sure if i can get indo med school. btw, how did you pay for all thise med school application fees??

What is the highest MCAT score you can get?
528 for the New MCAT. National average I believe is sitting around 505.
Felicia Olawuni The average is 499.6.
what medical school do you go to?
I'm guessing the GPA needs to be high as well if the MCAT is low. So what is her GPA?
tiffani thompson Oh okay, thank you. I missed that part☺
tiffani thompson well it depends on the school because in my school cum laude is 3.25 - 3.50
When you applied to medical school, what year were you in when you applied? junior year, senior year of college/university ?
I applied my senior year of college! :)
What medical schools accepted you?? I'm in a similar spot
what school does she attend?
i love how honest you are... do you mind if i send you an email or message to ask you a few questions privately?
Thank you so much! I don't mind at all. :)
Do you go to an MD or a DO school?
I think DO.
Do school
DO......WILLIAM CAREY
DO! :)
Can you do a Step One video as well.
I certainly will once I finish studying for and taking it! :) Thank you for your suggestion!
MD or DO?
This video goes to further proof the 5% MCAT rule to be accepted. 5% of 47 applications is 2.3 And if you got accepted at 1 then that is even less than 5%. Tbh, the amount of money spend on 47 applications and that spend on taking the MCAT another time to get a better score is comparable.

What med school do you attend? If you dont mind :)
Heard what happened to your medical school recently. You have my condolences
wait what happened? where did/does she go?
What could have possibly happened?
thank you so much for this video it makes me feel a little less worrisome lol
I'm so glad it made you feel less worrisome! :)
Are you becoming a physician?
What type of Doctor are you going to become?
When I graduate, I will be a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). Thank you for your comment!
What is her gpa
Which schools accepted you for an interview with an mcat of 23???? can you please let us know
Unfortunately, I cannot disclose that at this time. Thank you for your support and understanding!

You'll make a great doctor since you love interviews and love people! Being a doctor (at least in clinic) is basically interviewing people about their personal health concerns all day! This was interesting and encouraging. My MCAT was low. My second higher than my first, and magna cum laude but still. I am right there with you, I love people and I love interviews! I am applying this May when AMCAS and ACCOMAS open. You said apply early and that for you you had secondaries in by January, how early did you submit the AMCAS and ACCOMAS?

DO!
I can honestly say that its a bit annoying when individuals who are choosing to share information about their undergrad, Pre-Med or MD experiences refuse to reveal important information such as their own MCAT scores, GPA etc., or choose not to elaborate on what is considered "low GPAs" and/or "low MCAT" in their own opinions.
