    💌 Mom & Dad (who btw watch all my videos)
    Thank you to my parents, who have paved a life for me in which I have the freedom of choice within my education. They have supported me in countless ways to pursue this aspiration of mine to become a physician. Through my tears and self-doubt, amidst waves of joy and small wins, I have been humbled by the patience and selflessness they have quietly shown me for all of my life.
    Love you! I'll call home every week!
    May

Now, I'm currently entering my fourth and final year of undergrad and have started my journey to applying for med school. I'm currently studying for the MCAT, and I am forever grateful for your content and the times you have responded to comments and DMs to help subscribers like me. You're gonna kill med school, I'm excited to see what the future holds for you!

I ended up going to Duke and just graduated in May of 2022, so it's really cool to see that you're going to be attending medical school there! I really loved Duke and Durham, and I'm sure you will too. I'm taking two gap years and will be applying next cycle, so I definitely will be referring to your videos come May 2023 haha.

Just wondering if you would still be doing med school advising/essay editing in the next cycle? I'm applying then and would love to work with you.

      Congrats, May! Best wishes to your medical study at Duke. I started following your youtube recently and it is so so~~ helpful. I have a silly question for you. Your spec seems perfect: Brown, high mcat score, perfect gpa, research, and publication. What do you think is the reason that you are not admitted to other top schools like ivies, ucsf, standford, nyu, sinai, etc. I think they also had to accept you. Of course duke, u of m, and nwu are all top schools and duke is one of the best in us. I just wonder why. My daugther is applying to Brown this Fall and planning to do premed there if she is accepted. I'd be happy to have your answer. If you cannot answer here I can give you my email. Thanks. I'll keep watching your videos.

    You're phenomenal, so helpful.
    Why was the protected 3rd year medical particularly important to you? You said you published, so perhaps you just enjoy research that much; or maybe does having this research experience set you up to be competitive for residency applications?
