Thanks a lot bro. This stuck with me. Take the time to PROVE to them that you can qualify, get in. Even if it takes me longer, I’ll be a Physician for the rest of my life, so what’s 5 more years of preparation.
@@Pete-da-peter hey there.I decided not to go the medical school route. I’m a registered nurse with my BSN. I’ll be enjoying and pursuing other aspects such as entrepreneurship and business
Thank you very much for your informative videos Dr. Brian. This video gave me a very good insight on prioritizing my goals as I had a scattered mindset on what I should do next.
I'm so glad you made this video. With 60% of applicants not getting into medical school I wish it was more talked about. I also started out in engineering and also had difficulties my freshman year because I was working long hours while attending school. If I don't get into medical school out of undergrad I think I'll also pursue a master's program. Anyway thanks for making this video. I found it helpful.
Hi, So far your channel has been very informative. 1. Would you please make a video on what premeds should be doing as they start undergrad, what mistakes did you make? 2. Please make a single general video or a specified video on the 4 aspects of the med school application. x. Academics ( gpa ) x. Extracricullars (research, shadowing, sports x. Community/ volunteering i.e please provide specific examples. x. Mcat 3. What did you do in all 4 aspects in order to get into med school.
Hey, hope you're doing well now. I needed this message so much-- got the WL email from my #1, in-state med school today which I was not expecting. Pretty similar experience to yours. Been super bummed out but it only makes me want it that much more. Can't wait for the feeling of my persistence finally paying off, as yours did. Best of luck to you in your career! (-:
I'm currently an engineering undergrad and it's crazy to me to think that med school would presume you lacked ability to excel in bio sciences and chemistry because you are an engineer. I breezed through my degree required chem. I took 'advanced' Bio science classes in high school, breezed through them graduating valedictorian. But university level math for engineering has been a mind bending journey. I guess we all have different aptitudes but I think if you can manage the math for engineering you have the ability to do fairly well in most sciences. At least that's been my experience.
Hi Dr. Brian, I am also a non-traditional aspiring med student. My story is a little more complicated. I earned my B.S. in Clinical Psychology and had to take my pre reqs at a community college. I was thinking of post-bacc program that focused on upper division course work or do you think I should do a Master’s?
@@JoeFru Hi Joe, I am in a premedical post bacc now. It is VERY costly but it worked best for me to get the upper division course work I need and mentorship. I just started this summer and I am super happy with my decision. I looked into many master's programs and for my situation I think the post bacc program screams "I want to go to Medical School" the best.
Hey Doc...loved this vid...I'm not deeply into medicine, but am an avid sports fan and appreciate your injury analysis videos. I also have a rare birth defect called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congentia. I took A&P in high school and loved it. Keep bringing awesome material.
I have an undergrad degree in neuroscience, currently im working at Disability Service place, and i really wanna desparately want to get into medicine. The only issue is, my family currently needs money, so I'm working and I'm finding im nothaving time to study yet. I had a plan last year to kind of put myself through a refresher, like start my brain again and try and master the learning process for myself, but because of personal things, I hav been unable to do it. I want to get back into uni and try and get my marks up, because, unfortiunatley my marks are not high enough for med or honours. Basically what i want to do is start doing all my academic stuff and textbook from Highschool all the way through uni, and get myself to really delve into it and fully get it, and through that get the habit of studying ingrained into me. Trying to renergise my mind and everything. But people keep saying i need to hurry up and start applying for med or get back into uni ASAP. The issue is, this happened when i firs went into uni and i thought id take a break for 1 sem during my 2nd year to let myself chill for a bit, but i couldnt because of reasons and i had to push through and i think i neded up making my academic burnout worse. Now i'm just conflicted on whether i should ive up on it an dpursue something else, because of some time constraint? or should i keep pursuing it? Sorry that this ended up being like a diary entry, but i feel kind of lost at the moment
Hey! Thank you so much for this video. It was so needed. I have a question: Since you received both an engineering background in your undergrad & masters programs, do you see yourself using what you’ve learned in engineering within your medical practice? I’m minoring in computer science right now & want to be able to merge that realm within my medical scope when I become an physician one day.

Medical school is quite different here in the UAE. It's an integrated program and ranges between 5-7 years. We have 7 schools in total. I applied to 6 out of 7 and all of them didn't get back to me. I'm currently doing my 5th semester in biomedical sciences. Graduate entry medicine is the only path left for me. I hope I can make to Med school one day.
@@BrianSuttererMD Insane. I was so depressed after getting rejected from PTA school. When you said "Just because your are not good enough right now doesn't mean you are not good enough at all or that you cant ever become good enough in the future. You can." 8:30 that resonated with me. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks so much,it gave me alot of courage to go forward. I finished my computer science engineering in India, now if I do biomedical engineering in US university and then go for MCAT and try to med school,will that be okay? And also how can I manage my finances,as i will do my master's by taking up loans
Biomedical engineering. I got rejected first time applying to med school and going back for my masters and doing well proved to schools I could persevere and succeed at higher levels

Hey bro.see your picture with matelly. I Kno you from 504 or maybe not. Are you a pre-med, if yes. Where are you now?
@@Pete-da-peter hey there.I decided not to go the medical school route. I’m a registered nurse with my BSN. I’ll be enjoying and pursuing other aspects such as entrepreneurship and business
@@jeffreyblaise3198 wawwww. Okay man. That's what's up. Congratulations. I'm still pre-med tho.

You bet! Thanks for watching :D

Thank you very much for your generous wisdom.I currently failed med school and needed to work for now.
Hi,
So far your channel has been very informative.
1. Would you please make a video on what premeds should be doing as they start undergrad, what mistakes did you make?
2. Please make a single general video or a specified video on the 4 aspects of the med school application.
x. Academics ( gpa )
x. Extracricullars (research, shadowing, sports
x. Community/ volunteering i.e please provide specific examples.
x. Mcat
3. What did you do in all 4 aspects in order to get into med school.
I like the idea! Will work on
Great question Waqar!
I salute your tenacity.

Thank you! Exactly the words I needed to here. Struggling to learn IM right now. It's quite vast!🤓
Hear* Now you learned something new today :)
This was actually really helpful advice!
In total, how long was your gap years?
I'm currently an engineering undergrad and it's crazy to me to think that med school would presume you lacked ability to excel in bio sciences and chemistry because you are an engineer.
I breezed through my degree required chem. I took 'advanced' Bio science classes in high school, breezed through them graduating valedictorian.

Hi Aylin, this is a great question. What did you end up doing? I am currently in this situation right now.

Hi Brian, I have a question: how old where you when you got accepted/ admitted into Med School?
Thank you in advance!

If you career goals as an undergraduate pivot on admittance to a graduate school program of any kind, you should have a plan B.

What kind of engineering did you major in ?

Can I ask you when you applied?

Keep at it and good luck!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
There's nothing really more powerful than a Prayer .Study and pray..
Did you get into med school yet?
What did your extracurricular/clinics experience look like?
What you went to mayo clinic you were rejected
Hard work pays off, never give up!

Nice 👍
hello, what is your master degree? how does that help you to get in med school?
Biomedical engineering. I got rejected first time applying to med school and going back for my masters and doing well proved to schools I could persevere and succeed at higher levels
@@BrianSuttererMD How long is biomed engineering program? Do you know where I can do that program online?
Oo I really don't know where or if you can do it online. Just Google search online engineering master's. Mine was 2 years
Do you recommend engineering as a PreMed major?
wow, those test fyi are IQ test.. 😆 and many of us figure that we miss the mark
