    This video was sort of short but the information displayed throughout was extremely beneficial! Being a Pre-PA student taking 2 gap years this was very awesome to hear and I’m glad I’m doing what others have done! Thank you so much May! And I really hope to watch your new videos soon!

    My teen is planning to go to medical school one day. The process seems overwhelming especially for those without much knowledge of the industry. Thanks for all these videos!

    What was the process like in looking for medical education tech startups to work with? Really interested to learn about your search process/experience and which companies you found, if possible! Thank you for everything you do for the pre-med community!

    I'm taking classes to be a certified Medical Scribe in addition to my regular college classes. Did you have a similar experience? What was your experience when it came to applying for Medical Scribe positions?

  • @david-te2lr

    could you share why you decided to take a gap year in the first place? and how will we know if it's necessary for us to take a gap year? lots of love from a college freshman who's been watching you since 2017

    HI! I know I am late to this. I am a freshman at WashU rn and I am thinking about taking a W for my second semester of physics. I got a B last semester but all As in my other classes so it already is messing up my GPA because I would have otherwise had a 4.0. This semester I am just really unsure about getting the right grade and I don't want to risk a C messing up my gpa. I was just wondering what was your perception of this? I planned on taking it over the summer instead where I could put more time to it because physics is my weakest area and my calc knowledge is limited which is part of the reason.

    Hi May, if you have to choose two classes for premedical programs: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and human anatomy. My high school is not the best for allowing us to take more than two AP classes simultaneously.

    Did you consider doing MD PHD with all your research experience?
