What is the organic chemistry board game like? I'm so curious! How do you play it?

I’m applying to schools right now as an undergrad and I was really struggling with this question. Thank you so much! This really helped me!

I love how you talk. You go straight forward and clear

As a 3rd year med student, I refer pre-meds to this video all the time. It's brilliant.

So first off I want to start by saying thank you! Your video really helped me look at this question in a new way. My only problem now is, I don’t know what to write about. I don’t know which thing about me makes me more diverse and I don’t want to throw too many things in there. I’m an African American woman who wants to become an ob/gyn, so at first I was gonna talk about how I would like to change the fact that black women die at a higher rate during childbirth, but then again I could also talk about how I founded a healthcare ministry at my church, or how I’ve been dancing all my life, or how I life to craft, and make things like t-shirts, keychains etc

I've been talking a lot about my passion for my anti sex trafficking work, and this video confirmed that I'm taking a good approach. Awesome video.

Definitely good advice for this essay. This is such a hard one for us ORM. I haven't heard this thought process anywhere else. Good work.

Hi Prerak! This video was so useful for me; questions like the "diversity" one are pretty challenging to answer! On another note: Could you possibly make a video on time management in college (for those high school procrastinators like me who were able to get by with good grades BUT I know that won't work in college especially at Berkeley!)? You seem to have really good work ethic, so I would love to see how you make the most out of your time. I appreciate it :)

[himibegum]

This video was awesome and so helpful!! This really helped me think of a more creative approach to the diversity question. Thank you!

[Noodledoodlefroogle]

I really appreciate this so much at a college right now that I hate and really want to go to the college of my dreams. The whole diversity question really caught me off because I did not know what to write about it and this really helped me out.

can you do a video on med school interview skills/what kind of things were discussed and asked during this type of interview? thanks!

[MTFM]

Thought I understood this question fairly well, but decided I'd give your video a view. You definitely explained the question in a more clear and straight-forward way than I've heard before. Your concrete examples were also useful, and served to increase my confidence in my ability to answer the diversity question. Thank you!

Where can I get this board Your videos are awesome.

Could you make a video on how to answer the question: "Tell me about yourself?" I really have hard time answering that question. I usually talk too much, and my ideas are really scattered. Also I don't know if I should mention medicine, as that question usually is the interview opening question.
