Burn Out - MCAT

IFD High Yield eCourse:

In case you didn't know, I'm a 3rd year medical student and have a hobby for making free MCAT resources on YouTube with my sister Maggie:-) I scored in the 90th percentile on my own MCAT and made all the mistakes so that you don't have to!

Here are some of our other projects:

Please pray for me that the Lord fills me with His Spirit to grant me humility, wisdom, and calmness to do well on my upcoming MCAT and hopefully future medical school endeavors ☦️

Hey brother, thank you for making this video. I’m about a week out from my MCAT and this video couldn’t have been made at a better time. If you can pray for me for my MCAT on May 10th and May 11th to get above a 510, that would be amazing.

I needed to hear this! Thank you so much for your hard work to ensure the next generation of physicians have a fair shot at reaching our dream. Taking this exam feels like the hardest thing right now, but you and Maggie have made this so much more enjoyable with your honesty, comedic personalities, and amazing content. I am taking my MCAT for the second time on August 24th and am believing that the Lord is going to work through me to perform well. I ask if you could please join me in prayer for peace during the rest of my prep, test, and beyond. I'm praying nothing but the best for you and Maggie, and your careers. IFD, you are truly doing the Lords work! May He bless you both abundantly🙏

Thank you for posting this video and for your incredible words of encouragement and wisdom. I am in the midst of studying for the MCAT and find myself barreling through everything, not listening to my head when I need a break, or making myself feel bad when I rest. It's so easy to get caught up in studying and all the work you have yet to do and not what you have accomplished or done that day! Watching this video has helped me to gain perspective and understand that rest is vital in order to succeed. Thank you again for all that you do!

You’re a good man. A genuine one. Your patients will be lucky to have you. Thanks for the great study resources and the encouraging words.

[jonellbailey]

You're one of my favorite MCAT Youtubers, (even more when you started mentioning prayer, the Bible, and God). Please pray for me on my MCAT studying journey and continue these videos please!

I saw your video on separating the Milesdown deck for Anki...and slowly started seeing more videos little by little.
And hearing you talk about Prayer just made me so happy. You have already been a huge help with the videos I have seen and to even offer prayer to your subscribers- just lovely.
I want to say thank you for all the content in helping and encouraging others on this tedious journey!!
I recently was in a horrible car accident... we were hit by a drunk driver last October, and unfortunately my mother passed. This journey along with everything has been far from easy- and this is my 3rd time taking my MCAT. (I tried to improve 2nd but spent a lot of time with my mother-which I do not regret what so ever.)
I have felt the pits of discouragement during this time... but yet I still continue especially with the help of positive words from helpful YouTubers.
SO THANK YOU. Thank you for leading through the light of God, the way I aspire to do so as well. And if possible YES please, I would LOVE to be prayed over from you! ♥ :')

This is what I needed 🙏🏾I’m thankful for your advice. I pushed my mcat back 3 times because of overthinking and burnout . Caught myself comparing myself to others and their journey . I love the Bible reference, it says a lot for me because I can’t take advice from just everyone sometimes . Please keep me in prayer as well .

[bellamoondiaries]

Ecclesiastes has truly helped me in trying times after that proverbs. Thank you for that example

[samburkart]

Testing this Saturday! Your channel and HY guide has been super helpful. Prayers would be appreciated!

[kadedrahparson]

Thank you for sharing. Please pray for me as I take my MCAT in September and I feel like I’m getting tired of just studying but you video has encouraged me!

[danielbilliot]

I'm agnostic but I agree with you 100%. Prayer/meditation is vital. A little time out to gather your thoughts & refocus. Thanks to this IFD channel I have been accepted into medical school & I'm eternally grateful to you & Maggie. Keep it up big brother....

[ChristinaPardo-qwzh]

I'll be praying for you, John, and all others who are on this journey. God bless you! Thank you for all your hard work in helping us!

[sleepychicken_]

Love that you mentioned prayer. Reading the Bible and sitting in silence during prayer has reversed my burnout and completely changed my perspective. Please keep me in your prayers, I test in a few weeks! I will also keep you in mine!

[rebel.withacause]

Hi John, I just wanted to say thank you and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm so happy you talked about your prayer life and faith in this video, we need more Christians in the community. May you be blessed in your medical journey as well, and it is very clear that God has wonderful things in store for you. ❤

[BoricuaReflexivo]

Thank you so much! Please pray for me and everyone in their MCAT journey. Thank you for all your hard work. God bless!!! I will also be praying for you <3

[julienallen]

Thank you so much for all your videos and encouragement. I have been watching your strategy videos for a while and am getting ready to take my MCAT soon. I'm not where I would like to be yet, but I'm not where I was (thanks partially to you and your sister's channel). I recently realized that God wants us to rest as well as work hard and that there is a need for both. This video echos that. Please know I will be praying for you as you continue your challenging rotation and continue into residency. God got us this far, so He won't let us down now. Thanks again!

[cameronoconnell]

Thank you, John. Your channel has helped tremendously both on my initial MCAT and now studying to retake (this weekend actually!). Your content has always been genuine and impactful, and this video shows it perfectly. Best of luck in the the residency interviews :)

I have had multiple experiences with burn out and what I have found is that it’s a disconnect between perceived gain and expected gain of tasks. This can be worsened by not taking care of yourself (e.g. not sleeping properly).

[sethjohnson]

This is definitely needed. Y’all have helped so many people and God will reword that. Please keep my test in your prayers (June 14th)
