I had a 1.7 gpa in high school with no motivation to learn, I’m now in a community college working my ass off everyday trying to be better than anyone who doubts me. We can do this

Doctors don't need to be smart, all they need is the ability to Save a HUGE amount of information in their brains.

You really don't need to be smart.
1. always have long term goals to keep you going
2. Be enthusiastic and humble about your knowledge, even if you get straight A's, no one is perfect.
3. Be hungry to learn, even if that makes you ask a doctor you dislike to help you. make those sacrifices
4. CONSISTENCY !!!!, you cant do well in one semester and stop, keep moving
5. know you weaknesses and accept the fact that you need to work on them, hey its okay everyone struggles in some subjects.


My MCAT is very soon .. wish me luck
and good of luck to everyone

As a med student I believe You don’t need to be smart you just need to plan ahead.

This video almost made me cry. Despite not having good grades on college and probably almost having to repeat some classes like Anatomy and Histology, I will prevail.

If you people truly understood how powerful this is. I have to study something 3 times more than my peers and I study around 4 hours a day. And that alone was enough to get me to medical school even without a high GPA

[YouNoub]

A friend of mine sits through the lectures and just gets the concept.
Me not so much. I have to re-watch and study.

Hi Dr Webb! I hope you'll be able to read my story. It's my 18th birthday and I attended my first class at medical school today...I'm in a huge class of about 250 people and the lecturer asked for someone to come to the front and answer a question based on what we just learnt about at the end of the lecture...The class seemed quiet and intimidated, it seemed no one understood much about the lesson, myself included. I gathered the courage and got up to answer the question. My heart was racing but I tried and failed miserably... The class laughed at me but I wasn't embarrassed. I felt better...The lecturer told me to see him after the lecture was over and he applauded my courage. I'll go on with this kind of mentality for the rest of my days. You inspire me, Doc🙌🏾

I flunked out of University of Tennessee Knoxville (university) then community college out of my hometown, twice out of rehab before age 24. I decided I had no other options in my life so I enrolled into medical school at a Russian university. Two other Americans were there but they left after a few months. I’m now a 4th year medical student who got a 260+ on USMLE step 1. I passed all preclinical courses and didn’t give up even when people were telling me you would never pass anatomy and physiology. Guess what I did. Don’t listen to people that bring you down. I networked with a local community hospital where I live and they told me I would have a good chance of matching into their residency program. All those people who told me I would not make it in college :) just don’t give up and keep moving forward

[didicoles]

I've wanted to be a doctor my entire life. I have disabilities that have caused me to basically live in the hospital. I spent most of my life there. My family has been telling me that it's impossible and that i am beyond not small enough But I am deterrent to reach my goals

[metalhead]

Man, you are so humble and the wisdom you give is so beneficial to the audience that watches your channel. I hope you continue to spread the positivity in the future and a BIG congratulations on finishing your residency. I am applying to CRNA school this year and will be hoping for the best!

[janake]

I wish you were around when I was younger. My mother told me I wasn't smart enough to be a pediatrician and I fell for it. I realized it was my mother's insecurities not me. I long since forgave her. I am a FNP working in Primary Care, I love it, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have any regrets. I admire anyone who pursues their goals despite the naysayers! You have to pressed forward. I make it a point to uplift my adolescent patients when they doubt themselves, in fact I will referr them to your platform. You are a true gift, Dr. Webb.

Emotional intelligence is also an important component for a physician to have; the ability to listen and empathize through effective communication with clients. Congratulations and best wishes to you!

[howtomedicate]

Being passionate and going the extra mile will help you a lot!

Some of the smartest people I’ve come across have been those who say they’re not smart.

[Ayesha-]

I thought I was too old (20) to drop out of business school to go to med school but I'm doing it. I owe it to me.

[FishoeShoe_da_great]

you're right; it's not about comparing yourself to other people, but comparing your present self to your past self. It's you who has to improve, not the other people!

I am a nursing student and want to be a great nurse, and this video has helped me so much gain hope and positivity! thank you!!

[jassimoabul]

I am a Kuwaiti doctor that just graduated from med school in Ireland and I know that the system in the states differs drastically from ours. Just wanted to let everyone here know that nothing comes easy at all, however NOTHING is impossible. Nothing. I do however think everyone needs a certain level of brains to qualify though obviously you don't need to be a genius. I am far from being one and don't consider myself to be super smart but I'm not "eh" either *I hope*. Bottom line is, if you're super smart, you'll be studying less than your peers, if you're of average intelligence, you'll have to compensate with extra studying. Both routes will get you where you need to be. Best of luck to everyone reading this, dream big. ❤️

Thank you! I am a non traditional student out of the military and I have found i have to study and work so much harder to be competitive. This is my dream and I will never give up. Thank you again for your motivation.
