Morning of my interview for my top choice, called doctor friend and asked how do I let them know I will attend if accepted. She said just tell the interviewer candidly. In my interview, I told him straight up "If I'm accepted I will attend". He said, "I'll see you in the fall then". Got in and am attending :)

@@evastval7768 you need to have a bachelors degree to get into medical school as it is a form of graduate education. You can’t jump straight from high school to a master’s or PhD. Each country is slightly different but the this is how it is done in the United States. You need to complete 4 years of high school, 4 years of undergraduate studies and obtain a Bachelor’s degree, then you can apply for any graduate degree like a master’s, an MD, OD, Dentist, PhD …etc. hope that helps!

I love that this guy was looking for HPSP friendly schools. I’ve been looking for schools that do well for recipients and would love to see how that list looks

Like Grey said, the school and the government don't work together at all. Literally any school will be fine. However, consider the culture of the town and the students that you'll be with. They might hate military people and ostracize you for working for the war machine.

I personally wrote in my secondary for my top school that it was my top school and got an interview then accepted and went there even though it was a relatively far reach

All your videos are excellent, thank you!! Unrelated question. Need to make a decision by April 30th. I'm very interested in Derm. School 1 does a lot of research but is almost 2x the cost of school 2 that does very little research. With step 1 now pass/fail my guess in order to be competitive, research is important. Should cost factor into my decision? 57 K vs 32 K. Should I find research outside of school is that considered ok? Would be interested in your opinion.

Good questions

@arensaini7605 3 жыл бұрын

Does it matter what time you submit the application? Like the first day to submit is May 28th. Will my application be verified earlier if I submit the morning of May 28th versus the evening of May 28th? Also, should I not submit the first day? I think my app will be really ready by then but I don't want to be compared among the very strong students and get lost in the sea of very strong students.

How does that sound like Shapiro at all? He didn't say anything negative about minority groups, just the fact that it had nothing to do with COVID. I find this to be a very ignorant comment.
