when you said, decide quick so other people can have a chance for that spot, you got my like. That's compassionate. You will be a great doctor. Congrats!
That’s such a beautiful perspective. Shoutout to him, I’ve been watching UA-cam videos for years and not once have heard someone say that. Shoutout to him.
so many hold acceptances until the last minute, class move to accept and drop as soon as possible
Agreed
This guy seems really nice and also humble for rejecting yale
You got into some amazing schools especially considering you only applied to md/PhDs!!! Those have such limited space! Now you won’t have to worry about debt from grad school :) Congratulations 🎉
Yayyy, Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!! Cali is my home state!! Thanks for all your videos & I wish you the best in your future endeavors!!
You're really a hard worker. Thanks for sharing your application process experience. Keep posting your MD and PhD journey.
Congratulations!! You absolutely deserve it! Have fun this summer and good luck🍀
Wow Michael that's fantastic good for you! I always thought you were such a nice guy and it's no surprise to me that you've ended up where you are
This dude rejected Yale!
Crammy Handleman Well, it’s not free either
@@SunSunSunn yes it is
Archie Andrews yes it is
I mean I would. UCLA is a way better location than Yale.
It really doesn’t matter what Med school you go to (if they’re all American) unless you want to go into academia.
Michael its the best MCAT and advice for my Med training i see on the web !! THANK YOU GREAT !!!
Brilliant school choice! May your mind and hands heal many with a clear open mind. May the Gods bless your journey.
Congratulations! I’m from STL so I’m glad you got to see a bit of our city, good luck 👍
Congrats man! So happy for you
Amazing! You've earned all this. Congrats and best of luck!
WOW! Congrats! I can only imagine how much effort and sacrafice this took!
Congratulations! I’m currently going into my undergraduate freshman year at UCSD study Biochemistry as well. I’m very impressed with all of your achievements, and was wondering if you could make a video addressing how you went through the process of getting all of your research opportunities during the first few years of undergraduate study. Keep up the good work!
I have a friend with a 4.0 with all rejections and a 3.5 gpa friend going to UCLA med school , so random and crazy
Im in the same boat with a 3.8 but in all honesty volunteering, shadowing, extracurricular, leadership activities, research, etc all come into consideration
@@daddy5957 Don't forget MCAT scores is also very important.
They did have the same Mcat score so idk if under the admissions eyes they were the same
@@adrienne2838 same ethnicity?
Ady there’s way more to the application than that. Sounds like your 4.0 friend was checkboxing, bad at interviews, or fucked up on their application somewhere
Congratulations! UCLA is a great school! I am interested in applying for MD/PHDs so I'm looking forward to the rest of your videos! Thank you so much for posting, and best of luck!!
UCLA is my dream medical school! I'm a Southern California native and once you live here its pretty hard to want to live anywhere else haha. Sent out applications a few days ago, so we will see what happens! Congratulations buddy!
Nick Perez what ended up happening with your app?
What happened!
@@dayannaortiz2257 What a crazy application year it was for me haha. I was accepted to multiple schools, and will be attending the rival of UCLA which is USC Keck with a 2 year full tuition scholarship!
Nick Perez awesome!!! Congrats on your acceptance!!! I know someone else going to usc this year as well!!
I’m at UCLA right now as an undergrad and that’s my dream med school as well!! Congrats and I wish you the best of luck, you’ll love being a Bruin
goodluck
Congrats man got into some amazing school. If you’re not from California welcome home.
What a great video! Thank you Michael!!
You are so genuine and likable, subbed!!!!
Congrats brotha good luck mane work hard !!!
So happy for you !
I go to ucla for undergrad, it’s amazing and you’ll love it :)
congrats! thanks for all your content
Man, that’s completely random. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
I am in my senior year at UCLA with our medical school as my priority. I hope I work hard enough to catch you on your way out 🤞😊
Congratulations! Good luck :)
Congratulations! Sunny SoCal is lucky to get another hard working student!
Same here, I applied 8 Medical Schools in East Africa and I only got admitted to one, was super lucky. That's because I did a pre entry exam
Wow, congrats!! I'm so happy to hear that you got 11 interviews that's so impressive! Not sure if you already did this on your channel, but are you open to the possibility of explaining your extracurriculars/ grades in another video; or maybe just explaining what you did right?? Thank you!!
Congratulations!!
From another pre-med. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats bro! I’m starting Med School this summer 😁
Daniel Kaganov wishing you all the best
That's great. Congratulations! :)
Congrats!!! Thanks for all the awesome videos!
goodluck for the fall!
My daughter went to Columbia. Not only because she was intelligent, but more so due to myself being wealthy and well connected.
Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations you’re going to do great :)
Congratulations! 👍🏼
I saw you on campus yesterday! Hope orientation is going well 😊
I saw you too! You look just like your profile picture
The MD-PhD program at Harvard-MIT program is almost impossible to get an interview with unless you are a graduate of Harvard or any of the Ivy League schools. Most if not all of those accepted have a 4.0 GPA and an MCAT score of 524 and above with an impressive extra-curricular credentials. Majority of the class of 2019 are harvard graduates and 2 of them have published at the New England Journal of Medicine. Anyone who gets published at the NEJM automatically becomes a celebrity in his field. The UCLA program is topnotch as well so you can never make a wrong decision with any of the 4 schools you got an acceptance from.
So not true. In fact, a minority of the class has graduated from Harvard or Ivy Leagues, and that’s the case most often.
Congratulations... how exciting woot woot
I'm currently an undergrad pre-med student at UCLA! Wish you all the best man
goodluck
Tremendous video you’re going to be a great doctor go get it
Great video appreciate this
thanks for the videos man
You’re adorable! Best of luck
Damn! Wish I had the option to reject Yale!
I definitely agree that it's a random process. I got interviews at Wash U and Hopkins as well, and thought I NAILED them, but was waitlisted and Wash U and post-II rejected at Hopkins. It all worked out for me in the end, but there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to which schools liked me and which didn't.
Evan Ketcham Did you get into any med school other than those twi.
@@hryank33 yes I'm matriculating soon somewhere else, those are just the ones I had in common with the video
Well that is great, congrats. For an undergrad, the prestige from certain school might lead to higher chance of employment but pretty much all medical degrees are prestige, so the school you go to matter less.
Go ‘dores! Sad we won’t be classmates but proud of you nonetheless (I know you’ve already started but, congrats anyway 😂)
Congrats man! Boss mode 💪
Hi Michael! I’m looking to applying for MD-PhD as well. Do you need to approach the professors with a full proposal ahead of time before you apply?
No wonder I feel like I seen you before! I am currently a UCLA undergrad
If you don’t mind my asking, at what time of the year did you submit your primary application? What about your secondaries?
I submitted the primary July 3, was verified August 7, and had all my secondaries done within 1-2 weeks of receiving them!
I wanna apply but I’m so worried been really sick ever sense I looked the application.... Couple of people that I know applied to medical school... both got accepted ... 1st one got accepted to the pharmacy program midwestern after 2 years her gpa sucks, she volunteered for the 2 years... 2nd one got accepted to the MD program somewhere in Florida... his gpa was 3.8 just like mine...
The MD-PhD program at UCLA is connected with Caltech and if you are doing a PhD at Caltech then you should talk more about that because that us arguably one of the best schools in the WORLD.
Hi Micheal, Thanks for the great video! Could you make a video about what MD/Ph.D. program is and how it is different from the MD program? Thank you!!!
Yes I will be making a video on that in the future!
Very wise to reject Yale. They have a massive wash-out rate. I bet they didn't talk about that during your interview.
any thoughts on Neuralink? Good choice on UCLA, California must be the hotspot for neuroscience.
The Fee Assistance Program only helps a little...so how would you endure four years of medical school and paying the rent each month? Can you help me out and tell me how it is you are paying the rent portion? That I would really like to know. From parents?
hey we're on the same campus! I'm an undergrad at UCLA, do you know what are the class requirements UCLA needs? I did some research and it includes molecular biology and I'm not sure if it is a true or not?
UCLA is awesome! 👏 this video is a yr old. So have u finished your 1st yr now?
What did you think of Pitt Med when you went?
I have heard from/worked with multiple Wash U residents who all seem to agree on the fact that their med school seems to put a greater emphasis on academic credentials than other qualities. That being said, they all seemed like they were destined to excel in their respective fields and when it comes down to making a decision between UCLA and Wash U, there is no wrong choice.
Congratulation! Is there a video on secondaries?
Currently working on it!
can you do a video on how you graduated Undergrad in 2 years?
Hello fellow Bruin!!! :D
Congrats
Your rejections are quite hard but you are a great person in Academics.
Forget about the Ivy League.The lesser known Schools are simply amazing,
Iowa and Pittsburgh are great choices.
what schools would you have added?
do you know a hudson gongwer?
Is Wisconsin a tough school
WHere did you do undergrad?
As long as you have money you can apply to school where you want. As what I have learned most student in American is loaded with debt 75,000 dollar per year, in our country only cost 1000 dollars per year
Which country is that
Which country is that ??
No wayyy you're a percussionist, so am i dude.
Whats that
Shoulda went to Vandy
cool now try Canadian medical schools
I can’t imagine a 4.0 student with high MCAT score only got accepted in 4 Medical Schools. I don’t the chances for an average Student like me. I am so nervous 😩
4 is a lot tbh
These are also high caliber schools
Not in the first tier competitive programs. As he was saying, he had some weak areas in his stats so some schools did not grant him an interview. There are lots of candidates with better stats that him and are in the same situation of getting a few rejections but they always get accepted. The MD/PhD program is free and extremely competitive so watch out for those geniuses applying for them. Do well on your MCAT because if you get a score below 500, you probably won't get any interviews.
You can always study in the Caribbean
Is there a certain specialty you’re interested in?
I am leaning toward neurology at the moment based on my research interests, but obviously a lot can change over 8 years!
What program are you doing?
I'm doing the MD/PhD program (MSTP) and will most likely get my PhD in Neuroscience!
who the hell gets an md-phd, this kid is so goddamn smart lol
pre interview recjection at those schools with your stats... wow. Maybe they didn't like the secondaries you sent?
Everyone applying to these schools have similar stats to him especially for the MD/PHD program.
I'm sure the cost of living would have been just a ridiculous in Washington as well.
I subscribed, hoping he just can’t post cause of his grind in med school.
considering your mcat is 100 percentile and your undergrad gpa is good, you must have written sucky applications hence your rejections....
firstt
Hey Michael (and anyone else reading who may have recommendation for this question), I was going to take the MCAT on july 20th so I can apply before August and hope to match into military medical school for Fall 2020, the problem is I have 0 EC's/shadowing/research currently but, have been told I may be able to accumulate those hours from the time and send a letter with updates on the hours as fall 2020 gets closer.. I'm not sure how that works so I've been also considering just waiting for 2021 so I don't have to rush these things. What would you say?
In your case it might be better to wait a year so you don't have to rush things and you can submit your primary in June. Updates only work if you somewhat have your foot in the door already, and if you don't have any hours it's pretty unlikely that they will still be considering your application by the time you have a reasonable amount of hours. I would say focus on the MCAT now, then once that is done spend your remaining time getting a good amount of clinical/research hours and perfecting your application because it sounds like your application could be a ton stronger if you wait!
I cant believe u rejected yale
You speak too quickly😂
Congrats hard to do as a white male
What is this suppose to mean? Over fifty percent of doctors are male.
@@courttttttt over 50% are white.
are you fucking kidding me? You turned down YALE???????????
Sorry, UCLA has a better medical program.
@@latlj1283 Yale is ranked 10th, UCLA 19th...so, no.
@@julianamitchell3183 Screw the ranking, UCLA has a better medical program with best weather.
Your ears are popping out. See a doctor to fix it
Fuck you .
Michael its the best MCAT and advice for my Med training i see on the web !! THANK YOU GREAT !!!
Congratulations!!!
Congrats
