Definitely reassuring to hear that my gpa isn’t the end all be all for applying. Just because it’s below average doesn’t mean I don’t have a chance 🙏🏼 just gotta keep pushing

As someone who graduated with linguistics with a 3.2 GPA and is currently planning to go into post-bac program, your video really gave me a boost in hope! Thank you man, definitely subscribing and looking forward to your videos

As an Army vet/father of three/pre-med student, I needed these straight forward facts and this positivity! Appreciate it!

It's not even the GPA that worries me. It's that darn MCAT. I've never done well on Standardized exams, but I've maintained a 3.75 GPA into now my fourth year of my undergraduate biology degree. I am scared to death of the MCAT.

Such a good video! I’m a Public Health pre-med (but not because of fauci lol). It’s so true that a major you enjoy makes a difference! Even with the abundance of information I’ve learned in my major courses it feels like a break from the pre-reqs in a way. Such good information in this video, and I have been waiting for it! Looking forward to the other parts!

This cleared up so much stress for me😭😭😭my main concern like most was gpa. I’m like if I graduate with a 3.6 and science 3.2 will I still be able to get in and I’m so glad that the odds aren’t as against me as I assumed.

[Kristielina]

What an excellent overview of a premed. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. ❤

Just found your channel, currently working on my undergrad at Life University! This video was very enlightening. You’ve got a new subscriber

Awesome and informational video, JR! I remember choosing a premed major and how it came down to fashion (I know, I like clothes 😂), biochem, BME, and biology. I ultimately chose bio as it was always something I enjoyed learning and doing in comparison to BME, biochem, and fashion

Just finished my first semester of college with a 3.4, almost cried because I thought I was done for. But now I'm seeing you at my dream school. You give people like me hope! Thank you<3

[MilesLeslie]

Great video for a lot of us pre-med students. All the best to everyone in 2022💯💫

Happy New Year to you and yours! Thank you for being a consistent source of positivity and motivation. So happy to see your channel growing and glad to see you recovering from your recent Achilles rupture. I have been watching consistently since your “How to Approach the MCAT” video and we actually briefly spoke once before about your transition from undergrad to med school. My plans have since changed and I am now applying to PA school this April, but I still love your videos nonetheless and enjoy watching your journey as an aspiring black healthcare professional. We are all rooting for you!!

[smithsenatus]

Really glad I found this channel. Keep inspiring my brother!

[davida.t]

I love your videos . I am a high school senior, and watching your videos really inspires me to reach for the stars!

[LChism-wxqy]

Dude, I watched 1 video and I subbed! Love your straightforward approach and the info you give. Thank you 👍🏾

[cedricanderson]

We already had to bite our nails for Christmas, now we have to do it again!? Such a cruel person lol! Can’t wait and thank you for letting us into your private life. Happy for you and Madison. Keep going hard in the paint and “stay evolving”! Happy new year!

I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I found it so informative. I'm a current Canadian undegrad studying Evolutionary Anthropology and have a similar overall GPA that you held. This video was encouraging and reassuring for me
