Who am I:
My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on UA-cam or my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/).
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).

I love how you answered that tricky question about assisted suicied. I just discovered your channel and it's really cool!
I'm so impressed, these tips can be used in any kind of interview situation! Thank you so much 😁
I’ve watched hundreds of videos and this is by far the most helpful! So insightful and I love the specifics, thank you so much for this!
This made me happy about my answers from my interview day I had recently. Thank you.
Love the content. Subscribed!
The little skits that you added made me laugh, great video!
I don’t want to be a doctor, I am Swedish and I am already studying at university but it was interesting ho learn about the interview. At my university you can study medicin without having to be interviewed, you just have to have good enough grades to get a spot.
More great advice! Good point with the mission statement!
Thanks!
wow, that was si informative. Thank you .
This was really helpful thank you
Is that a speedy I see? A man with taste! Great videos by the way!
Thank you so much !!!
Very interesting, there usually are no interviews for med school any country so this was a nice insight.
Great tips! Interviewing prospective medical students too. Couldn’t agree more. Want to add, don’t make up things when answering. They don’t have to be spectacular but cant tolerate any form or hint of dishonesty.
how much do they check on past experiences? and how can they tell if you’re lying? like i’m not the most confident speaker so i worry it might come off as lying 😭
Good video. However I think you meant that the dangers of assisted suicide outweigh the positives that go along with assisted suicide - not the negatives. Or have I got that wrong?
U r v smart and intelligent
I WILL be back here again
wow i love that jade plant
I agree!
State universities of NY are SUNY, as a New yorker I just want to give you friendly FYI, Its pronounced "sooh-nie" :)
Thanks.
You know what you will also have a big community of subscribers one day!!!!😀
Thanks!
This is so different from my country (The Netherlands). I’m a first year med student and I had to take 2 tests (one about the subjects from high school that are relevant for med school and one about how you would react to different situations with patients and other students). I also had to write a letter about my motivation and 3 people that know me had to write recommendations (and the letter was not even that important, because they mostly look at your test scores). The way we are selected is to give everyone an equal chance. (Some of the other med schools in the Netherlands do have different selection procedures) This is because you usually go to med school straight out of high school and barely anyone has got any experience in this field.
How would you compare your process with the process described in this video pros and cons
what would you recommend doing, if I'm not familiar with every ethical principle? Can I ask the student interviewer/faculty to elaborate more?
Hey I would make sure you know these four principles, if it isn't one of these I would ask, yes.
- Autonomy
- Beneficence
- Justice
- Nonmaleficence
At 0:55 I thought that was your nail. I got worried for a bit. I thought you had finger clubbing or something.
Could I wear a shirt instead of a blouse?
And must I wear a blazer
“Hot nurses bro.. come on!” 😂👌🏻
I have one very simple earring (and am a man). Ryan Gray says keep it; you say take it out. Decisions...
Up to you! I took most of my recommendations from the book mentioned. I would say it's not a bad idea to show your personality with your clothes, but you don't want to be remembered for the earring. You want to be remembered for your personality and how you spoke etc.
@@ZachHighley thanks! I guess it'll be up to you if you interview me this cycle 😂
Sunny upstate lo
You don't think it may be strange to have someone return from the bathroom asking questions about you centered around a google search? You could really get someone in trouble tossing tips like that around.
Just be woke as possible
which speedmaster model is that?
