Hey! Freshman in high school here. Just wanted to say a quick thank you Dr. Jubbal and the entire Med School Insiders team for making this video and all your efforts for this channel. It is so helpful to first-gen students who are completely new to this system! Thank you so much!

Hello to all wishing to become, as someone who isn't a physician I would want to wish you all a great career in whatever you pursue, and if you pursue medicine I hope you all have a clear, dedicated and above all passionately focused plan and execution with your studies. 👍 Good luck to all and have a great day!

Currently a high schooler aiming to become a doctor!i love to seek out opportunities to learn about and gain experience in the field, i was lucky enough to shadow a plastic surgeon both in the OR and the clinic and i had a great time!

i’m a sophomore in high school right now. i’m completely new to this system and so is my family. my dad is a police officer and my mom is involved with nonprofit organizations. i want to go into obstetrics and i also have an interest in neonatal surgery. i’m in a biomedical program at my school, and i can say that it is 100% my favorite class. i’m taking all the AP and honors classes that i can handle. i’m kinda paranoid that i won’t get into college, let alone med school. i’ve never been so passionate about something in my life. i’ve been trying to set my nerves aside and focus on where i am now. i just wonder if anyone else feels like i do.

Hi guys, I’m a HS Junior. I’ve really wanted to be a doctor for a few years for some personal reasons, but one thing I worry about is my ADHD. Everyone says Medicine is a marathon not a sprint, I’m really good at going all in to something for a short time (in a few months I became one of the best geoguessr players in the world because I thought it was funny, I wrote a 50, 000 word novel in a month, etc.) but I can have a hard time with long commitments. Does anyone have advice about how to keep going or been in a similar situation? Thanks

I need to take some classes post bacc to apply to med school. Is there a difference if I take them at a community college and a university?

[its-overboi]

[Jailynn]

Can you please do So You Want to Be a nurse video?😊

[MercySolomon-yjcw]

I really loved this video and I'm a high school student who wants to be a doctor in future. Are these processes the same for international students especially the MCAT exams in college and USMLE in medical school? Like, how can international students become a doctor in the US from high school?

Just took my alevels this october, was damaged hard

[alenabudiman]

What do you think of high school students who are interested in becoming a doctor that get EMT certification in High School? Does that give any advantage to a student before college and medical school?

[unknownuser]

I’ve wronged lots of people. The medical community would never trust me. That’s why I’m a plumber.

[erasumi]
