You don’t choose the medical school. The medical school chooses you.

Med school insiders: “How to choose a medical school”
Me: That’s great for you to think I even got accepted to one.

“The average student applies to 15-20 schools...”

*cries in Canadian*

I don’t think I’d really have much of a say in the matter. I’d go to whichever school chose me. I’d be grateful to have even one option let alone more. Med school be competitive affff

I NEED ‘so you want to be a gastroenterologist’

Watching this kind of video is so inspirational despite having a hard time in an online class with a pre-med course. Thank you for the motivation!

Hey there, something that I felt was also important in choosing a medical school was their curriculum. I applied to ~82 or so, and ultimately the curriculum was one of the biggest make-or-break factors. Having a true P/F vs a graded/ranked system was a huge load off my shoulders, plus I imagine it has a pretty significant impact on the culture at the school itself. Systems-based vs normal-abnormal also had a massive impact on my workflow. I can't say how much this would change with the upcoming changes to Step 1, but I would personally take the P/F school regardless. Great video!

Great advice! Amazingly difficult process. Thank you for all you do!

[milopenalozaosorio]

I have a simple plan: apply for all of them and pray for one to accept me :)

[elizabethmerlinsky]

This feeling when your questions in a previous vide’s section might have given rise to a new video🥰 Thank you, Dr. Jubbal for taking our concerns into consideration

[vivladi]

These videos feel like they have a weird disconnect in that Dr. Jubal is plainly mythological in how successful he was at all stages of his career. I was lucky enough to be able to choose between schools but after multiple cycles and I certainly wasn't choosing between Harvard and NYU

[chrisnnk]

I love your videos & all the juicy informations

[yasminrafael]

Exactly what I needed. I am in doubt on which med. schools should I focus on, because it demands completely different preparation

[jayrollo]

Can we get "so you want to be a rapper" ?

[baylorwiggins]

When ann arbor made the video I was jumping with joy. Go Blue

[bahzingapunk]

your narration sounds much better in these last few videos!

[jay.rsingh]

Can you make a “So you want to be a nurse practitioner”. I saw your PA video and am still deciding between the too. Love the vids.

[leahbush]

Hi Dr. Jubbal! Thanks, as always, for the informative video. Do you have any advice for students who want to learn more about the cultures of various med schools before choosing where to apply?

[esmfamil]

I don't decide where i go, my pocket does

[donyae]

Could you maybe do a “So You Want To Be A Veterinarian”? I know it’s not human medicine but it would be nice to see.
