I laughed a little when the rest of them said "dont say that you're a perfectionist" and then the last girl told that she was a "perfectionist"

Dude, you and your classmates are so down-to-earth and humble. Seems like the interview for med school is very similar to job interviews, except I don't have to pretend I'm excited about selling their crappy software. But seriously, not pursuing our true passions is kind of like a slow death.

These videos are awesome! I have recently found your channel and it is by far one of the best pre-med/informative channels I've seen. Thanks for such high-quality videos and superb editing skills. I also especially like how you invite your friends to give their personal insights on different questions. 10/10! :)

thank you for including different examples and for the video. I was surprised at the lady that said anxiety. I appreciate how open she is and I would want to actually say the same thing, but I'm wondering if that's too open? You would have to justify a lot how you manage that. And idk how people would look upon it :(

This video made me realise how many weaknesses I have .... now my main one is low self esteem😬. Im struggling to think of how I “have tried to improve it” because i havent really...

@bleenyx8914 3 жыл бұрын

There's never a too late. No one is perfect and even why it is as a very used saying it is that much true no matter how you try to improve yourself there will always be room for more. I've always been bad at socializing but i understood that this would be an obstacle in my path to chase my goals, so i started on trying to talk with people online/ offline making new friends. I't was incredibly hard to start the conversation but once you make that first step you understand that you just started a huge leap towards developing a new characteristic of yours that you thought that never existed. So ^ ^ Believe in you! We shape our own fate so don't let a mere obstacle stop you from becoming what you want and love ^ ^! (So i also know that you posted this 2 years ago... and that this reply is a bit too late. but that doesn't mean that you should stop! I hope provided a little help. Wish you all the best!)

Hey! This video was by far my fav one on youtube... but hey can I say "I get too emotionally involved or find it hard to deliver patients with bad news" ... is it too early to be saying that (as a high school student in a medical school interview) or is it too hard? Any advice bruda?
