I'm so happy that many of you are finding this video helpful! Thumbs up this video if you want to see more of this series, and feel free to leave clarifying questions and video suggestions. Sending my love and support your way :-)
I'm in finals week of my junior year, so technically a rising senior, and I will definitely be sending you my college essay (once its written lol)!! Love these type of videos they help so much with de-stressing and calming myself down about this whole college process thing
One hundred percent agree about premed and AP credits, I took calculus and stats but most med schools prefer the university level equivalents despite my school technically accepting my APs
I’m only a junior in high school, but this helped so much! Thank u:)
THIS WAS SOOOO HELPFUL! Thanks May and Anuva!
I’m so nervous about starting premed in the fall I hope I can get good grades for med school I’m gonna be on that grind 😱🤓 Thank you for this video VERY informative 🙏🙏🙏
best of luck!! :-) you got this
May Gao thanks!
This is so very helpful. You made some of my college anxiety go away. Thank you!!
Rising senior here, Anuva needs her own channel !!
What made you guys want to switch majors from Biology to Public Health?
For people who stumble upon my channel through this video: I have made a video on why we chose public health. Check out my Being Pre-Med playlist
THANK YOU! Going into pre med in the fall!
i'm so excited for this series!! so halpful
This video was sooo helpful! I am an upcoming freshman at Brown and I’ve been looking at concentrating in Public Health also! I never thought about taking a Computer Science class, but it actually sounds like a great idea. Thanks guys 😊
Congrats on your acceptance!
I'm also an incoming freshman at Brown and found this super helpful!! Thank you!!
May Gao Thank you, and I get more excited the closer it gets to starting!!
Amber Parson good luck
SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU!!!
I am here in 2020 and this video was so informative. Thank you so much for posting, definitely eased some of my pre-med stress!! :)
This video was really helpful but I have two questions 1) How difficult is it to balance extracurriculars (e.g. research or internships) with the rigorous premed course-load and how many extracurriculars would you recommend taking on? 2) is there a certain way premeds should be spending their summers like taking extra classes or doing research? Thanks for all your advice!
You learn and master time management in college. It's definitely doable to balance research and other cocurricular commitments with your courses. However, just because you CAN join 6 clubs doesn't mean you SHOULD. I personally believe prioritizing and committing to a handful of activities is better than spreading yourself too thin. That being said, explore your first year and apply to as many things you're interested in as possible, then narrow it down from there. Anuva and I will probably talk about how to spend summers in a coming video!
WHERE IS ANUVAS JACKET FROM AHHHH (ps. pretty sure im not going to go into pre med but this video was so great! i love the editing haha 💞💞 keep it up may lyyyy)
Induja Gautam it’s from a shop (she doesn’t remember the name) in downtown Carmel! thanks for watching LOL you a real one
This was so helpful!!! Keep it up
So, I just recently became interested in pre med, but I’m about to be a senior in high school. I’m fairly concerned about the pre requisites since I’ve only taken chemistry and biology and I still lack organic chemistry as well as physics. My plan was to take anatomy and physiology as well as AP Environmental Science but I’m beginning to lean more towards Physics and AP Chemistry. I want to know what you both would recommend, as college students yourselves. Your video has been very helpful! Also I’ve always wondered what happens when you apply to college and your pre requisite classes are still in progress. Thanks so much!
Hey there! Feel free to send me an email. I will say that a very small number of students have taken organic chemistry in high school-it’s usually not offered and even if it is, the level of rigor is almost always not comparable to college orgo. Even if you have AP credit for chem, physics, or bio, you still have to take those classes in college. You might be able to use the credits to place out of lower level classes, but the required # of semesters of each science still stands. Hope this helped!
I want to be premed and major in either history or political science😀
This might be a strange question, but does it mean that you guys will graduate undergrad in 3 years instead of the traditional 4 years?
Check out the "Sample plans" link in the description. The 3-year plan means you take the MCAT in your junior spring semester and then apply for medical schools the summer before your senior year. This way, you will know your decisions in senior year and go directly to medical school without taking a gap year. The 4-year plan allows you to complete applications after your senior year. This is for people intending to take a gap year before going to medical school. Hope this cleared things up!
Can you guys do a video on why you want to change your major to public health and what that major entails?
What do you think of nursing as a pre-med major?
Kidist Woldehawariat dont
@@TweenTime101 why not?
Im also looking into nursing as a pre med
@@kianarkinmercado7287 I was told not to go as a nursing major. Because you’re taking a spot from someone and nursing and MD/DO are different paths
@@TweenTime101 Ahh I see, but is a path to medicine through nursing a likely and possible path?
My school does not run a biochemistry course. Will it affect my chances of getting into medical school?
I LOVE Anuva sweater! Where did she get it???
Hi I’m a big fan of ur videos! I was wondering if the 8 year med track where you automatically go to the brown medical school is a lot different from the traditional pre med track that you are doing?
If you’re referring to the PLME program, there are many major differences from the traditional premed route. Definitely look into it!
Can Intro to Phys 1 with lab and Intro to Phys 2 with lab count towards my med school requirements ?
Depends
this was so mf helpful. thank u (:
Would you recommend going to brown plme or stanford? Thank you !
currently finished my dental hygienist, and want to choose bachelor in dermal science as an undergraduate degree ... is that okey? in Australia..
Thank you
I do the IB. Will colleges take credit from my IB grades?
depends on the college you go to! Some of them do, and some of them don't. Also varies depending on the courses.
can you go into premed with biochemistry/molecular biology?
What about double majoring Political Science and Biology
Do you recommend skipping out of the intro bio class at brown? I am able to get credit for it, but I took ap bio in junior year so I am a little rusty on bio. Will my rusty knowledge of bio hinder my performance in upper div bio classes or future pre med required classes?
I personally used my AP credit. Taking BIOL 0200 would be redundant. Classes like physiology don’t really demand extensive AP bio knowledge and you’ll probably pick it up quickly. That being said, a solid foundation in bio definitely makes upper levels a lot easier. Check out the syllabus/textbooks if you’re still unsure and shop the classes. You can accept your AP credits up until you graduate so no rush to do it now!
Can I still take math0100 at Brown if I have credit for AP Calc BC? I will be taking AP Calc BC exam on Wed, I am not sure if I should take it or cancel it?
great video
Is public health and global health the same thing?
Do I need to take AP to get into pre med
It could be different based on different colleges, but at my school pre-med isn't a major but a distinction on your transcript. As long as you can get into your college of choice, anyone can be premed regardless of highschool coursework. That being said, some competitive colleges do like to see AP coursework and it can help you get out of some of the difficult beginner courses like calculus or chemistry.
Why public health?
Hi Mary Gao and Anuva Mittal, thanks a lot for this. I'd be very glad if you can provide a platform through which I can contact you-I'd really appreciate if you'd be willing to be mentors to me. I am a freshman. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks a lot.
Will you ever major/minor in CS and make this channel a tech channel ?
It is calculus a must in pre med majors?
Not all medical schools require calculus in college. Most calc requirements can be fulfilled with AP credit. Depends on the school!
Why is a gap year considered for 4 year instead of 3 year?
Assuming you plan on taking the MCAT after finishing your course requirements, the basic pre-med course requirements should be finished in 2-3 years instead of 4 if you want to apply without a gap year. Some students will finish their reqs in two years and take their MCAT the summer after sophomore year to apply straight in. You could also take your last reqs in your junior year and take the MCAT in the spring, but that leaves less time for a possible retake (if no gap year). Personally, I took the MCAT the summer after my junior year and will be taking a gap year. Kind of confusing, but hope this clarifies things a little!
@@MayGao thanks that makes sense
May, you are pretty , but wtf is going on with your hair ???
