Student experience at Stanford School of Medicine

FIve Stanford School of Medicine students offer their insights into the medical school experience.

Spoke to a Stanford Med School student earlier today. He was a track star here at Baylor for the 5 years he was here (4 years Undergrad Bio, 1 year getting his MS in Bio). Pretty crazy that he got accepted, he was telling me that he was still in awe as he was there in Cali, sitting in his apartement. I'm not even a pre med student, I'm studying Mathematics.

But yeah, I think the track probably helped him the most. I'm sure Stanford was more impressed by the fact that he was able to stay on top of his game and constantly place in his meets, all while maintaining a great GPA at such a rigorous school (for 5 years, nontheless).

Man it'd be cool to be a doctor ahah. Anyways, I should be doing Calculus homework..

I have just about graduated from medical school in England and am visiting Stanford Med School for the month of May to spend extended time in Cardiac Surgery. I Cant wait, it looks amazing :).

Honestly, at the end of the day Stanford doesn't need a video like this. I mean, the honest truth is that the brand name is enough to make them come.

It is a dual MBA/MD program. It is usually 5 years with no summers off. You usually work on both on the MBA and MD degrees at the same time. Very intensive not for the feint of hearts.

My dream school!!! I'm 14 years old and live in Switzerland. Since I could speak I knew I want to be a doctor. It's my big dream to move to the U.S. when I get out of school... and go to Stanford!!!!

One of the best videos on med students experiences, BTW... :) <3

[BoyMonkeyKid]

It's really a dream of mine just to become a physcian and being able to help others.And I think this school could do it for me and alote of others. :)

[gildardomagallon]

[AJBNE]

[cezercezar]

[ElegantSkies]

18? I take it you're not from the U.S. Cause generally, you're around 21+ entering medical school here. But anyways, don't give up on your dreams. c:
