I laughed a little when the rest of them said "dont say that you're a perfectionist" and then the last girl told that she was a "perfectionist"

[@syafiqahshalan165]

when all ur weakness is in one video

[@quantumcrash7266]

Dude, you and your classmates are so down-to-earth and humble. Seems like the interview for med school is very similar to job interviews, except I don't have to pretend I'm excited about selling their crappy software. But seriously, not pursuing our true passions is kind of like a slow death.

[@zuzanna.i4405]

This video made me realise how many weaknesses I have .... now my main one is low self esteem😬. Im struggling to think of how I “have tried to improve it” because i havent really...

[@helenach3843]

don't say you are a perfectionist

[@abdullahrana6295]

I just wanted to address something getting on my nerves🤣🤣🤣😭😭. The guy who was drinking water during the video, did he not find a better time to gulp on that water smh😅😅😅. No hate intended, just had to get it out there.

[@24aquablue]

thank you for including different examples and for the video. I was surprised at the lady that said anxiety. I appreciate how open she is and I would want to actually say the same thing, but I'm wondering if that's too open? You would have to justify a lot how you manage that. And idk how people would look upon it :(

[@luanalangloisfiorotto]

These videos are awesome! I have recently found your channel and it is by far one of the best pre-med/informative channels I've seen. Thanks for such high-quality videos and superb editing skills. I also especially like how you invite your friends to give their personal insights on different questions. 10/10! :)

[@teresaharper6532]

what you can also say is ..I have fine tuned most of my weakness's however I do still have this weekness :)

[@gretasafoncikova7950]

Hi :) One of my weaknesses is also lack of confidence, I was wondering whether you have any suggestion on how to work on it? Thank you!

[@Spongebobblification]

These are actually such helpful videos! Definitely one of the most informative pre-med channels out there. Thanks Ali!

[@AbuLuq]

Really appreciate these videos. This is great work as it really does make me more confident for my interviews.

[@ShadabAli-tw1lr]

Thanks a lot for these videos. I've got an interview here in Australia and I still find your videos very interesting and helpful.
