Good record. Being hispanic is a big plus also

Super video! Sometimes people think that they got into UCSF because of their essay, but you might have gotten in DESPITE your essay.
Although it's a good story, you took 3 paragraphs to get to answer the key question: "Why do you want to be a doctor?"
I suggest applicants get to the point faster.
Congrats on UCSF!

Hi, , i am from INDIA, can u please guide me, ,
There are so many majors that it’s a bit confusing for me, ,
I wanna pursue medical line, ,
so i should be choosing HUMAN BIOLOGY EMPHASIS or other Biological Science majors??
And what minors should i choose..

[jacobleisawitz]

noticed you were the president of a fraternity in undergrad, i’m also in a fraternity and wondering if being president/vice president would be something that would look good as a leadership role or would be more of a hindrance on my application.

Thank you for the vid. Did you have any clinical experience? I’m not sure if you considered the research your clinical experience or the volunteering

[veronicaguzman]

Amazing video, I can’t believe we both are Peruvian from the bay and went/go to berkeley 😂. Wayy too many coincidences! I was wondering if you are currently willing to mentor any undergraduates 🙏🏻

[carmelssss]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you take the MCAT ur sophomore year? Did u take AP classes in high school

[erikbass]

How did you graduate a semester early without taking 120 units?

[EytsirhcChristye]

What did you major in and what was your backup plan?

[MrBjorn]

Did you get a full-ride to UCSF medical school 🤔

Being a hispanic and the disadvantaged are the most important factors that you got into UCSF, please remember this is California!
