It would be really cool if you did a Dr. Phil type livestream where kids could 'turn in' their questions/resumes/decision outcomes and you could give them advice. Love your videos!

I have gone the traditional route and not the bs/md program. Honestly, the combined program is less stressful as you just move forward into med school. But, you limit yourself as you may desire to attend a different med program. One side note. I think your putting too much into undergrad prestige. Med school entrance is all based on gpa and mcat. Competing against lower tier students is always best. Undergrad school makes very little difference in med school admissions. I have consulted with a couple firms specializing in admissions. You got great vids. Been watching them to gain insight for my kids.

I went down a traditional path for med school and I can’t imagine a BS/MD program being a good idea for me. Part of the path of growth is having other options and thinking through them.

Another dub from p. I watched your how to get into a bs/md program vid and your science fair competitions kept coming up. Winning at the international level is very impressive but are there any alternatives that look just as good?

Hey Pratik, I'd really appreciate your help. I'm in a really odd place in my high school career. I've dreamed of going to an Ivy, especially Harvard, ever since I was a small child. I've put in a lot of work towards my grades, but I'm near the end of my sophomore year and am only now seriously searching for ECs. I have a few issues though. I had a very rough childhood, and I won't go into details, but I ended up missing around 3-4 years of schooling. Despite this I excel in science and English, but I am abysmal at math. I am 16 years old with 23 days of my sophomore year left, but I am only at a 6th grade math level. It's frankly pathetic. I have OCD and ADHD, so this also complicates things. I've been grinding in and out of school to improve my math skills, but I don't think I'm improving fast enough. I take all of my classes in regular education, but I take math in the emotional support room (SPED shed, retard room, backroom, etc...) because of my lack of education in math. I've been doing pre-algebra for most of this year, and my ES teacher is just as inept at math as I am and just gives me worksheets instead of actually teaching me anything. I live in a very rural area called Austin PA. My school has around 200 people and has literally no extracurriculars aside from a handful of sports and Honor Societies. Finding a tutor around here seems impossible, and my school doesn't even offer AP classes. I feel like building an impressive resume is almost impossible out here. Sorry for the pity party, but what I'm really trying to ask is how can I improve my math skills to meet my grade level within a reasonable amount of time? Would it be possible to score an 800 on the SATs by the time I reach my senior year despite my dumb-assery? What do I do for ECs despite my situation? Do I have any chance of attending an Ivy League school or am I doomed to my safeties? I hate to bombard you, but I seriously need guidance. Thanks in advance.

colleges will factor in location and school so idk if you'd have to worry about that (our school doesn't have ap's either, you can try taking clep exams which some colleges will accept, you can also take the ap exams with an online class or even with just the book, although the online class would be easier...this all would still take resources though and money so you don't have to do them although its better to save money for college), for the math problem you can see khan academy courses but idk what to do for live tutoring, you can still get good in the sat if you get books and take the practice tests with that along with khan academy(its also free so that's good)...you can also try taking the act instead since that's more science and english based(i'm not sure tho) and colleges value it the same as sat

you can try starting your own organization / club as an EC. even though there may not be a plethora of existing opportunities, initiative such as this is extremely stand out for an application [I know from experience] Besides that, you definitely can get an 800 on the SAT math. The concepts are not extremely challenging and you can get there with some work and dedication. I empathize with your situation, hope your future turns out well!

hey!! I had a question about how AP scores play into bsmd admissions. I’m gonna have an IB Diploma and due to family emergencies I could not take ANY of the exams for my classes (my sophomore year) this year. I took one freshman year and got a 5 and planning to take some next year and senior year. If I explain, coupled with IB diploma, how hard is it gonna hurt me?

If you have an IB diploma, you have the IB exams necessary to show that you took college level coursework and the AP Scores are not extremely important for you
