  • Hello everyone!
    With undergraduate classes (and medical school) starting soon I wanted to make a video about the things I wish I had known going into freshman year of college as a premed student. Being premed can be really tough!
    These may not apply to everyone, but I feel like they would have helped me when I was starting out. Give this video a thumbs up if you agree!

    Thank you for this video! I will be a psych major in the fall. I was worried I won’t get my prerequisites. I talked to an adviser and my school offers a premed track! A real bummer is that covid has caused coffee shops and libraries to close :(

    This video is amazing! Too bad I found this as soon as I finished my freshmen year 😭😭. I’m a psychology major, but I’m getting my pre-med requisites and I really wished I dropped my calculus class. I refused to drop it and I raised my D to a C+ with the hopes that I could maybe get a B- but I didn’t make it 😭😭😭 if I had gotten a 91 on my final I could have gotten the B- but I got an 85 😂😂😂.

    • @Yella7879
      @Yella7879  4 роки тому +2

      it’s okay!! one low grade won’t hurt your chances too much :) Just make sure you try your best and do well from now on! I recommend talking to premed advisors for specific advice if your school has them!

      @Yella7879  3 роки тому +1

      hi there!! I actually don’t know the answer to that, since I went to a 4 year undergrad so I don’t have the experience of a community college. I don’t think it’s unheard of though! just less common

    Hey, I’m a premed. But I’m really wondering which math classes did you have to take? Did you had to take calculus and stats?

    • @ketsia6277
      @ketsia6277 4 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much. Did you take calculus 1 and 2? Or just 1? Is biostatistics different than regular statistics?

    • @Yella7879
      @Yella7879  2 роки тому

      I think it depends - I withdrew from a course because I had registered for too many and it did not show up on my transcript. You just have to leave the course early enough based on your school’s requirements!
