congrats!

***** My mom went to Harvard along with my great aunt. Both were incredibly smart took all honors classes 4.0 GPA every semester not to mention clubs and other things on the side. My grandfather went to Yale. But its a combination grades, where you rank. What high school did you come from how difficult was the curriculum. Also what program are you looking for. Harvard wants the best students but also wants people who give back to others and are leaders. My mom has published several books and co-authored a book at nineteen on grant writing. You have to sell yourself. Pick up a copy of Harvards' guide to admissions guide for undergraduates which shows a lot of the students who were admitted to Harvard. Yeah its crazy all high GPA honors classes, class presidents, some have worked published and so on. One of my friends went to GeorgeTown University for law. He triple majored and ran track. You gotta stand out academically and along with outside the classroom.

cc477 This is the Medical School admissions, not the actual undergraduate school itself.

NJ Moallim She didnt go to undergrad she went to the graduate school of education. I'm sure she could have gone for Harvard medical if she wanted but she wanted to teach chemistry she loved the idea of teaching and loved science. Obviously medical school demands are different then other schools within Harvard but still you have a pretty good chance if you can get into Harvard to begin with. Her GPA was 4.0 for undergrad plus ran clubs and so on.

cc477 So legacy boost? URM boost as well? Those are so significant.

+John Doe DO IT!!!! Go for it and don't look back!! I wish all the best for you!! :)

Anthony Montana I’m deaaad , did you get accepted?

Learning isn't competitive. Getting into the best schools of the whole world or getting to work at one of the best hospitals in America, on the other hand. ..

From my observations, competition in academia fuels student excellence. The desire to reach the top can lead many to bring innovative ideas to their disciplines. In the end, the world benefits from the wonders academic competition can inspire.

@@suyashsinkar1822 ok then it would also reduce the number of potential innovators.

@@suyashsinkar1822 scoring highly in standardized exams does not indicate one's aptitude to excel in research or one's medical practice. All it really does is filter out people who have less time and fewer resources to tackle these obstacles.

That's where the fun is 😅

May you will🙏

Wahoo👏

Naturefairy wow congrats 💪🏻💪🏻 how did you got accepted

Fuck you

Naturefairy congrats

Naturefairy CONGRATS

I hope you get into your favourite medical college and try your best. never give up on that wild dream of yours!!

did you get in?

How to mbbs admission ...??

Good luck!😃

You seem insecure.

Dan T this was beautiful

@@ElfHimSelf shut up he is right

It’s true, being a patient idk where my doctors have gone to school and I don’t care as long as they deliver quality care and listen and do their job effectively that’s all that matters

It's true, but some schools are better than others, that's a fact too. From your teachers to the programs they have. They can be better, Harvard is rated as the #1 Med School for a reason. Of course you can become a great doctor anywhere so there's that

You can !! Start preparing yourself now and its possible !

Rae Abronski it's really awesome that you are so young and already so ambitious! Keep at it and never give up!

Study you butt off and don't let your classmates distract you unfriend if needed

I'm a ninth grader and in same situation!

I wish the best of luck to all of you! :)

Dani Mikhael what interview isn’t stressful. I dread university interviews more than I dread going to a job interview. I’m a shy person when it comes to interviews (job and college). Whereas talking to people on daily basis is much easier.

Why would u not be stressed treating a patient? Every physician should be stressed about giving the best care possible

Who that?

God Fulfill Your Dream .. Best wishes

Anything

i wanna know aswell bro

I feel the same as you !! but we have to be strong and believe in ourselves. I wish good luck to you and me!

Joaol Cardozo thank you! and yes we will accomplish are dreams

Najib M thank you for the nice words! i will :)

same here

Try Harvard, but if you don;t get in its okay. The school doesn't matter, its what you learn.

After you finish grade 12, you have to finish 4 years of pre-med (undergraduate school) to get into medical school in the U.S. Hope that helps.

Isn't more important to do your residency training at Harvard, Hopkins NYU, Stanford than go to Medical school there?

loans

really? can you help me too by just giving me some info. I'm a pre med student... thanks

@@LazyIncubuss so are you in medical school now

Help me

Get off your ass and do some exercise avoid foods that clog your arteries and get further testing done to find the culprit

Start studying, do AP classes or IB, broaden your horizon and volunteer, who wants a doctor who isn't interested in serving people. You have to love learning for it's own sake, if not you won't be able to stay the course. The knowledge has to be it's own reward.

No thats your parents dream...subconsciously programmed into your dream

That should never even have to be a thing. May you make tons of money for the establishment off of the prolonged suffering of the innocent.

consciousnick - so a doctor who’s purpose is to help young children affected by cancer, be diagnosed and treated for cancer is making money from the PROLONGED suffering of the innocent? How in any way is a doctors job to prolong the suffering of a patient in this case a child?

Go for it!! Make sure you do a lot of research into the field you think you want to go into

Im in seventh grade and my dream is to be paedriatic Gastro surgeon

Vinod byarral same question!

Haha! Dear not mbbs but MD here i know you are Indian that's why 😁

@@pplrjustppl HoW much chances are there ????

@@krishnakumar8713 The chances of you making is really low! A Harvard undergraduate student has less than 5% chance of getting accepted and you are from Indian, which gives you less than 2% chance of getting accepted. I believe you can make it to Harvard if you really try your best and get at least 95% in all of the subjects in college. I got accepted into Neuroscience program at Harvard! It took me several tries but I finally made it. My mark in High school was 93% overall. I upgraded some of my classes and got a 98% as my overall average! You need to get more than that if you want to get accepted!!!

I think he meant diversity in WHAT people are passionate about. They want applicants who are passionate about medicine, people, and diffident specialities, so they can have a diverse pool of doctors, going into a variety of positions.

That seems a fair comment Feven, correction taken

Kyan Alnajjar and I'm 13. I Also wanna get into it

good luck to you both!

@@victornguyen8382 2 years later and I'm replying to this. Thanks, it's still my biggest dream

Having a prestigious undergrad can be a good aspect, but if you have a high GPA at an instate undergrad, you still have a good chance of getting in.

no, it's all about mcats and gpa and whatever you have going on in your life , someone who has a 3.0 gpa at harvard is nothing compared to a Penn state grad with a 4.0

sarabjeet Sodhi Nearly 70% of students receive financial aid. Check their website to find out more.

In High School as a senior currently. Your middle school career doesn't matter at all, so don't worry about that. If you can't become the leader of a club you're in, create your own. Create multiple even. Also, since med school is after undergrad, they usually look at your college performance more than anything. As long as you can demonstrate throughout high school that you're highly academically proficient, and a well-rounded student in terms of extracurriculars, your odds of getting into a good school are high. Then it's just staying on top of college from there.

Interact more with the people around you. Dont be an introvert, be both an introvert and an extrovert because your interaction with people will get you to those president positions. I'm talking from experience, interact with everyone no matter how rude they are, I'm not saying make friends with everyone. I'm saying talk to different people at times. Give them a brief knowledge about you. Dont tell them to much but interact so that they can describe your personality to others.

Some people tell me 4 at Harvard Some tell me 3 pre med and 4 =7 Some people tell me 8 Some tell me 10 I’m so confused 🤷‍♂️🥲

Others tell me 1,5 pre med and 4 =(5,5) 🤷‍♂️🙄

Its actually 12 years of studying, but 16 years of studying is if you want to be a specialist. 8 years is only if you want to assist in hospitals but it's not a completed procedure. You first go to a medical program for 4 years then you go to medical school for 4 years then another 4 years is added to give you more information so that you're qualified enough.

That’s what I did for PA school and this year I was accepted to 2 schools. I’m 1/4 of the way done now. It’s rough especially since I had been out of college for 5 years but.. I’ll get it with the help of my classmates :)

Ian Stockwell That’s a terrible idea. If you get accepted anywhere, take the acceptance and run.

You can only apply to HMS twice before being automatically rejected. There are so many people ignorant about the admissions process in this comment section.

It really depends on other factors, the average is a 36

they actually changed the MCAT it's not the 45 scale anymore it's out of 528 and has been enlarged

+Kshitiz Gagal under grad first then hear

+DotAHockeyWizard sorry, would u explain a bit...

+DotAHockeyWizard Oh.. Thanxx...:-)

hello, im not familiar with american undergrads. can you get into med school with any under grad degree? isn't there a medical undergrad degree? confusing!x

Hei bro please did you help me
