You don’t need the perfect GPA.
You don’t even need to be top of your class.

Yeah. I literally broke down in tears while watching. I feel a tremendous weight lifted off my chest. Yes I am willing to go the distance. We got this premeds.

[belalshaker]

I needed this. I’m breaking down in tears, I went to the nursing route and once I’m done, I’m going back to study for the mcat again

[joevenskyseme]

Wow, you are awesome! I needed to hear this. I decree and declare that the MCAT will NOT stop me from achieving my goal of becoming a medical doctor!

[Sancarchredn]

I wasn’t smart enough, but resilient. At the end of the day is how much you want to be a doctor. Excellent video!

My mentor who is a retired neurologist used to say all Drs are great at memorization and some are smart as well.

This test has been a mental block for me for going on a decade now. I'm about to enroll in your self study MCAT study hall and finally get this out of the way to apply this cycle. You are a breath of fresh air!!!!

I wish we had YouTube 35yrs ago! We did not have influencers like you at the time when I was asking the same question. I think my career path and trajectory would have been so different. Now that I am wiser, you are so RIGHT...it is how stubborn you are and not just how "smart" you are. I do use that line with my students now. Thanks for this and other videos!

Thank you so much Leah, what an inspirational message. I came across your channel today while looking for help with organic chemistry. Today, in particular, I needed to see this video because I was feeling helpless and I was asking myself if I am wasting my time. I am studying for the Irish GAMSAT and I have very little time left (the exam is in less than 3 weeks' time). All the odds are against me - the struggle of coming from a non-science background, non-native speaker, timing, age, life getting in the way and making it nearly impossible to concentrate and find the time to study - but... for some reason I keep going, and your words were very encouraging. Thank you, I will follow you and recommend your videos!

I really needed this I’m crying so much and not feeling good enough to take this being a cognitive psychology and neuroscience major . Physics is so hard to go over I hope to make it into med school, I was in a Caribbean school and left last month because I felt like I wanted more. Thank you for this video

[davecherizier]

This video is so encouraging. It's the first time I ever subscribe to a channel on Youtube. Thank you so much I needed that. I am going to listen to this video every day.

You've got a good head on your shoulder Leah. I really appreciated this talk, thank you for putting your thinking process out there. Introspection and talking to yourself is invaluable :)

[mojojojo]

I needed this! Thank you for being you and sharing this with us who are on this path! It’s tough, but it’s all about the journey not the destination

[KwabenaMensah-ne]

Thank you so much
God bless you
I want to be a doctor but I'm still scared to do medicine

[CluelessTeen]

Thank you so much for this, I'm currently a Nursing student because I'm not sure whether or not to enter med school. This question is the reason why

[Jazzyblackdrummer]

Thank you so much I needed this kick in the back side! Thank you Leah there are times when my tank is so low I need a refill and this was the refill I needed. You’re awesome!

[heatherwyman]

Thank you for this video, it came at the perfect time. I’m taking the MCAT for the third time in a couple of weeks and my practice scores have not been great. It’s been making me question myself and my abilities. But this was a kick that I needed.

[abhaysrivastav]

You taught the topics easily and quite comprehensively.

[Jazzyblackdrummer]

I love you Leah thank you for this message. One thing I am is definitely stubborn enough to do it

[kristina.mendoza]

Thank you so much for this video, Leah! I really needed this😊

[joomer]

Thank you so so so much Leah, perfect timing 🤗😁
