this guy is smart as hell. not only is he focused on advising others when it comes to his day to day life, but you better believe hes using this to reflect on what hes been learning.... this guys a genius...
@wooball7 Well, because its because I want to help people with acne. I suffered from it during my teen years and it was the worst! So now that it has gone away, I want to help people take better care of their skin so that they everyone can feel "beautiful" or something.
But the second reason why is of course, THE MONEY!!!!! HAHAHHA.
b)your school wants you to know more (several reasons)
c)you may deeply reject knowledge over pathology and human pain in general
d)you have called Boston's radio on 9/11/2001 to express that it was an inside job as cameras started filming the 1 st plane quite earlier and Logan's security that allowed several terrorists inside the plane was never interrogated . That changes ur grades..
hi I'm I thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist and I was just wondering if you had any tips or comments in the position or the schooling or other things
i'm torn between med and engeneering..and i'm almost 1 year 'till grad
what shall i dooo :(
ive been thinking of going to the usa for school..but i don't know if i can cope with learning in english.. Is it hard to learn abstract things in english if your first language isn;t english? if someone could share their experience..that would be great!
@alexhighflyer You learn so many new words in medical school that it's basically a new language to everyone, English speaking students included. So don't let the language barrier stop you from doing what you want!
wow really... im in high chol and for my ap bio i study about 2-3 hours... hmmm not bad at all.. i hear some peole do 7 hours-10 hourse a day... but with breakes..
I'm also a second-year medical student , and it's very hard, I agree..... I'm afraid of my exams, but a I try to study hard, but the hardest thing is to save your time....
Why is everyone arguing about nonsensical shit? This dude is taking time to give us an idea of his experience in medical school. I applaud you man. I'm really looking into medical school. I'm a sophomore at a university, and I study 4-5 hours a day for all of my classes. I would expect to study that amount or even more in medical school. Please keep posting videos about your journey.
@zaps1 JUST LIKE THERE IS GOOD DOCTORS THERE IS BAD DOCTORS... THERE ARE CASES WHERE DOCTORS HAVE EVEN GONE CRAZY, CAUSE OF TOO MUCH STRESS, STUDYING DAY AND NIGHT...
@SHYBONER lol i don't know where your stats come from, but i think that a doctor gets a lot more stress at his job than from studying. Then, what kind of doctor would study day and night? As far as i know, the biggest part of studyingis done in med school. Are you talking about the residents? (who technically a doctors, since they have an M.D. degree)?
Harvard Med School? In order to get accepted in to Harvard Med, Do you have to go to Harvard?? But damn, you must have worked hard to get there. I agree with everyone, I would BRAG, bc its takes hard work and dedication and it pays off when you get into the BEST SCHOOL!!!
hahaha ahhhh, that cracked me up. Actually, 1st year is a cake walk. Second year is hellish. 3rd year is nice, and 4th year is great. That said, 2nd year isn't "hard" it's just "a lot".
Med school isn't tough, i think if your capable of retaining whats learnt in the lectures, self studying becomes easy ... Its better when you have a passion for it. <
@LaPentaDeca hey, did you go to medical school? im just curious as to if you have to do any public speaking? i have a fear and anxiety of it and i just wana know if it will happen throughout university until my career as a doctor(ihope) thankyou!
Sorry, I think Harvard (if that is where you go) does not apply to the rest of the country. You guys are probably told exactly what is going to be on the test, thus no need to study more than 2.5 hours. That would not surprise me at all. For the rest of your viewers, trust me, two and a half and even five hours/day is not enough! You study much much more! Cheers!
i have never slept more than during 3rd and 4th year of my Med school year. Sorry, totally disagree with you. Same with hours for studying: 2.5 hours a day? What??? I think Harvard must cut the curriculum by half. All my colleagues and I studied all day long, many times until middle of the night, getting 5 hours of sleep at most during the first 2 years.
@Galanin22 everyone has different study habits. it doesn't matter how long you study, it's what you get out of it. maybe jeff is just a whole lot smarter than you and your friends. that would explain why he's at harvard med.
i find your videos very helpful, i'm between deciding what career to chose nurse practitioner or a neonatologist. if you have any advice please tell me it would help.
itchychinaman ur saaad thats jst sadd. i got a few friends that r asian or chinese ut mostly maori but still thats jst racist. this guy is actully proud of wat he does and i dont blame him.... it would take me about 1million yrs to get to harvard med
that proves it that all asian people are smart so good for you. i wish i went there but first im only 12 and second my brother already goes there so im probally not gnna be alloud to go cause to expensive for me probally
Hello mdinresidency1 The only reason you defend him and attack me is because you identify with him. You perceive he has made similar career/ education decisions as you so therefor he must be like you. How very shallow and EGO driven of you. You attack me personally, but say nothing of my argument. What's wrong with Disney movies anyway? Your ignorance (ask a smart friend to explain to you what a 'tag' is) , mean spiritedness and lack of logic do not belong in the practice of medicine.
Hello mdinresidency1 Harvard is one of his tags. Do you know what a 'tag' is? It is a key word that others can use to find content on the web. I cant believe you dont know that. What else do you not know? You attack me personally, but not my argument that learned behavior from authoritarian cultures has no place in the Western world and especially in medicine. (You have hurt my feelings).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This person is driven by ego. The ego he puts on display here; "look at me I go to Harvard!" and the ego of his parents who see it as a reflection of their parenting skills that he attends an ivy league school. Chinese are enamored by brands. They are the conformist non original thinkers that are from a conformist culture. Confusian thought is authoritarian. Chinese culture is a failure. why are they here? 1/2 of all the world's suicides take place in China. They are as a hive of ants.
Your favorite movies are "anything Disney" and you repair shoes for a living. This young man in the video is furthering his education by going to medical school. Not once did he say he attended Harvard, but it was an ignorant prick like you, to assume that he did and with that, to also assume that he is driven by ego.
that is true to a point ..most of my asian friends care for brands and 'image' wayy too much, even if it disturbs their bank or family. But If I was going to harvard med I would brag! It takes a lot of work to get there! You should be proud.
you are only in med school in order to please your parents. You are a med student in order to gratify the egos of your parents and yourself. Therefore you should not be a doctor. Asiatic children obey their families' wishes like robots. Your desire to be a physician is not organically originating. Allowing Asiatics into higher education in the white nations of the world is a tragedy of incalcuble dimensions. You so proudly state where you attend school. You are enamored of the brand; superficial
Allstock-that's great that you are top-ranked in your class. Congrats; however, it makes me a bit sad to hear that you spend so much time studying. As a medical student, I know how important it is to have a balance between academics and a social life. I definitely don't think it's necessary to study that much and succeed. I probably study 2-4 hours a day (much more of course in the days directly preceding an exam). So to you pre-meds out there-don't get discouraged-it's manageable!
u say u could study like 4 hour hours a day....is the studying hard and do u feel stressed out? also how much free time do u get each day away from classes and studying?
Where you able to have a job with all of this crazy schedule of morning classes and afternoons? Do you think that someone that needs to work could keep a balance with medical school?
I am in pre-clinicals or pre-med first year and it's heck of a load of work! haha
And well, I am not in Harvard, but what we use to call it here, San Harvard (Saint Harvard in spanish). It is for very sarcastic reasons, but for another is that USAC(Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala | University of St. Carlos of Guatemala) was of the first founded universities in the american continent along with Harvard. To be exact in 31st January 1676.
is their a good way to study when your in medical school and for your mcats? I am a softmore in college and I want to prepare my self while I am still in undergad school
@missy123432 well I think you would have to check prerequesits on what credits you need to have in order to apply for med school. You can do different sorts of Bachelor Degrees but it is recommended to go into Pre-Med....
these videos are great and so inspiring to see many people pursuing a career in medicine. God bless you all guys on ur endeavros and i hope to one day have the initials M.D. behind my name as well.....
You are my hero! I've been considering going to medical school for many years now, but you've def. pointed me in the right direction, I'm enrolling as soon as I can. Thank you!
I am a medical student from germany and our curriculum is way different than yours. but it is really interesting to see how medicine is taught in different countries :)
sleeping six to eight hours?! wow that's pretty much compared to how many hours I sleep and I'm a sophomore in high school. I sleep about 4 hours/night.
I'm also a sophomore in high school, (what a coincidence?) I'm in Texas, btw. Anyways, i would like to say, i sleep about 6-7 hours a day. don't ya'll think med school is so damn hard. it's kinda discouraging when people keep saying it's hard.
everyone of my friends keep saying that too. it is kinda discouraging but i chose not to listen to most of their rants =P. i'm in high school last year and from fall i'll be a student ^^. can't wait.
Well, medical school can be challenging, but eventually as you grow up, you'll become more aware of the discipline and responsabilities you must take as an adult. But anybody can actually reach the point where one is able to handle it. I am not in medical school yet, but I can tell you that friends that I know, sleep 5 hours a day, and they are just playing the PS2s and nintendos. Also, I don't always get my 8 hours of sleep, and it's just cuz I stay up late doing non-productive stuff.
Hi Jeff, 1st off your videos are incredibly insightful and we appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to make these videos.
I had on quick question refering to the book(s) you used for Pharmacology. I have Brenner & Katzung, but was wondering what book your school recommend just as a comparison, & also which (if any) review books for the course you found helpful in preparing for the Boards
Could some one help me? I am planning on attending to medical school. I am currently a senior in high school. I was wondering: If I go to a Community College for two years, will this hurt my chances of getting admitted into medical school? will it look bad on my resume?
Well, first of all: to get into medical school, you have to have a B.a wich is 4 years of study at a university. THEN you can apply to a medical school
Are you positive? So that means I can't do 2 years at a community college and 2 years at a University? Because I thought you could get your B.a if you did 2 years at CC and 2 year at university
Yeah, u can go 2 yr comm college, and 2 yr. university. and for teh question "will it look bad on my resume", just score high on the mcat. have a good interview, and good carruculars.
Jeff, thanks for posting this video. I am a B to B+ student, but I absolutely have to get to medical school...and I want to know what kind of college student were you? Thanks,
If you hope to be competitive in medical school you will need to try to be an A or A- student. What year are you in college? Also, prepare for the MCAT and see how you do.
how come the studying is so small? Maybe in med school you do more Hands on things? Because I am in high school and I study twice or 3 times as much as that daily.
University does not compare to highschool. Do you honestly think that highschool would require more studying than medical school? There are so many reasons why it is harder, but I don't have enough words to say them all. Not to mention, I highly doubt you do 7.5-15 hours of homework a day :S Clearly you just have no concept of how much you really study. Sorry bud, you don't have it as bad as you think you do (in fact you have it very easy, enjoy it)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He just said he studies 2-4 hours a day.. in the video.. SO listen to the video. And yes I study a lot more than 2-4 hours a day. It's pretty easy I guess. But I have 4 AP classes and 2 college classes.. SO it's pretty comparable to college. I think so at leased.
Lol you mean "I think so at least"? You don't understand that the college lifestyle is what makes it much more difficult. Your course material isn't nicely handed to you anymore, you have to find out a lot of the info yourself. Not to mention your schedule, HS classes are in a compact time, giving you all night to do homework. In Uni you can have a class that starts at 9am, and the same day one that starts at 9pm. It's very tiring compared to HS. You cannot understand until you experience it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Like I said I already take 2 courses in the university. It's challenging but if you spend enough time you get the hang of it. I know the timing would be different but I live 5 minutes away from the University so it should be cool. But I do agree it will be hard to adapt to.
Well @ least I hope you understand that. Just realize that it's not as easy as you think it is, regardless if your taking one, two, or three university courses. I just hate it when younger people think they have it really difficult, because they are completely deluded.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah I completely agree. And I could probably get away with studying less. But I just over do it for preparation. I know it will be hard.. Specially if I plan on attending medical school in the future. Because for that I need to get all A's
I took AP classes and college classes when I was in HS too, and no I didn't study nearly as much as you claim to. If you honestly NEED to study as much as you are now, college is gonna be a rough transition. Try to pay more attention in your classes so that you don't need to study so much outside of them.
Are you serious? Did you not just read my comments? Quote "And I could probably get away with studying less. But I just over do it for preparation." from my previous comment. And also if you took 4 AP classes and 2 courses at college, then no way in hell could you get away with studying less than at least 3-4 hours a day. I could pass for sure if I didn't study as much. But I have a 4.0 so I aim for high A's.
I've heard plenty of comments like that in my college years. Including things like, if I studied a little more, I would probably have a 4.0 -- coming from people with 2.7 gpa's, so saying you can get the same gpa by studying less doesn't say much to me. Don't say you can do it, just do it. I understand you're a smart kid, but I'm just saying there's a difference between HS and college. I was cocky in HS too, and I got my ass kicked when I got here. Don't do the same thing.
actually college is not that hard, if you did well in high school, college should be a piece of cake because the first two years are like a review but with more details.I took 13 hours during the summer and made all As. and in the fall semester, I took 21 hours of college classes and made all As. And I also have 8 hours of AP. Right now I have 42 hours with a 4.0 GPA.
In conclusion: the first two years of college are easy, but then junior and senior year and challenging.
i'm guessing you just have amazing time management skills and excellent retention to study so little. i'm an junior at yale in mechanical engineering, and i study a little less than that (but do an insane amount of homework which makes up for it). I only get about 5 hours of sleep a night. Either med school is easier than I thought, or you're just pretty damn smart. But whatever the case, good job, and good luck man. I'm applying to HMS, but my first choice is Hopkins.
hey man ... doing a good job .. its very helpful for me ... when r u posting ur next video?????? i am waiting for it soooooooo lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngg!!!!!
THIS IS GREAT I AM FROM BRASIL AND I GOT TO SEE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS THEY WERE REALLY INTERSTING NOT A LOT of Brazilians know about how medical school is What school are you going to anyway? Is it Harvard?
first, i was wondering if you can switch you career after med school. by this i mean becoming a different doctor. say you are a pediatrician and you want to become a radiologist. would you have to do a new residency and then you would have a new career path or is it harder then that? second, how is your third year of med school going? is it hard to study and work (do your rotations) at the same time? how are you paying off your med school? did you ever work while in med school?
CHINK CHINK CHINK. Has your tiny brain become insane yet chink or are you recovering 3rd and 4th year? dont worry you only think that you are recovering, you will die like an ape or chink which is the same thing soon. Tootles. Oh and sorry for dissing, but I am feeling upset with you pieces of shit again, so I need therapy and this is working for me, sharing my feelings about you pieces of caca with youtube.

I can already tell you a bitch, who probably got smacked around 4 his lunch $ in school, now you think you some smart dude ahahaaha, but um... reply as many times as you need, we already know you got problems.. so do what you must to sleep at night in peace, packrat
Fuck you your just made because you know how stupid and ugly you are chink. keep on jacking off watching white people, you will never be white, you will always be THE most inferior race on earth, are you guys even human? or half animals, you sure are dumb enough to be, and ugly too.
YOU KNOW ITS TRUE SCUM loser, I am glad I am doing this to let everyone here know the truth.
you white folks sure have a history of being racist, if you are so "smart" like you say, how come you have problem with something as simple as another race. since you brought it there, most of you not all are racist cowards, who talk at a distance, i never herd a white man saying racist shit in my face, im not mad i know fear runs in your veins hahahaahahahahaha pussy, its ashame you raise your kids that way, teaching them to hate other human beings, im not gon go back and fourth with cowards
hi..do u have to have a BS in Bio to take McaT? or any BS degree? can BSN- BS in nursing do the trick? plssssssssssssss let me know..coz im thinking of trying the MCAT.
You don't need to have a bachelors to take the MCAT but you do need one to enter med school.Any bachelors will do, even a BA. You also need to have taken the prerequisite courses to prepare for the MCAT. These are General Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics (each are 1 year courses). Medical schools apparently like diversity in their student body so you don't necessarily need a bachelors in the sciences. Any bachelors will do. A nursing degree is valuable experience.
People, CHINKS are freaking retarded. Emotional ONLY, not rational and smart. Do the world a favor and become a Radiologist or something so that nobody has to see your ugly stupid face talking BS to them. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah balh bl bhalhb alhb labhlahblab ahbalhb albh albh albh albh alhb alhb alhb alhb albh alhb alhbalbhal bahl bhalb hal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal hbal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bhal bha lbhla bhla hbla bhal bhal bhal bhal bal bhla bh
You sitting here talking shit about chinks....one day, that chink may save your life. maybe your family member. life has a funny way of turning tables around. So keep on with the chink insults.
To answer your question, he is balding because the chink is in way above his little head. It is like an Abrhams tank running a scooter engine, it is just not for him or his race of people. I am telling you most of them are retarded, I know I went to UCLA and have had ample encounters with chinks.
Now I am in Med School and luckily there are no chinks there so life is great, no ugly kamakazi faces to look at.. only peaches and cream.
and you're balding. prolly from the stress in med school!

Hello mdinresidency1 The only reason you defend him and attack me is because you identify with him. You perceive he has made similar career/ education decisions as you so therefor he must be like you. How very shallow and EGO driven of you. You attack me personally, but say nothing of my argument. What's wrong with Disney movies anyway? Your ignorance (ask a smart friend to explain to you what a 'tag' is) , mean spiritedness and lack of logic do not belong in the practice of medicine.

Hello mdinresidency1 Harvard is one of his tags. Do you know what a 'tag' is? It is a key word that others can use to find content on the web. I cant believe you dont know that. What else do you not know? You attack me personally, but not my argument that learned behavior from authoritarian cultures has no place in the Western world and especially in medicine. (You have hurt my feelings).

This person is driven by ego. The ego he puts on display here; "look at me I go to Harvard!" and the ego of his parents who see it as a reflection of their parenting skills that he attends an ivy league school. Chinese are enamored by brands. They are the conformist non original thinkers that are from a conformist culture. Confusian thought is authoritarian. Chinese culture is a failure. why are they here? 1/2 of all the world's suicides take place in China. They are as a hive of ants.

Your favorite movies are "anything Disney" and you repair shoes for a living. This young man in the video is furthering his education by going to medical school. Not once did he say he attended Harvard, but it was an ignorant prick like you, to assume that he did and with that, to also assume that he is driven by ego.

you are only in med school in order to please your parents. You are a med student in order to gratify the egos of your parents and yourself. Therefore you should not be a doctor. Asiatic children obey their families' wishes like robots. Your desire to be a physician is not organically originating. Allowing Asiatics into higher education in the white nations of the world is a tragedy of incalcuble dimensions. You so proudly state where you attend school. You are enamored of the brand; superficial

Allstock-that's great that you are top-ranked in your class. Congrats; however, it makes me a bit sad to hear that you spend so much time studying. As a medical student, I know how important it is to have a balance between academics and a social life. I definitely don't think it's necessary to study that much and succeed. I probably study 2-4 hours a day (much more of course in the days directly preceding an exam). So to you pre-meds out there-don't get discouraged-it's manageable!

Well, first of all: to get into medical school, you have to have a B.a wich is 4 years of study at a university. THEN you can apply to a medical school

University does not compare to highschool. Do you honestly think that highschool would require more studying than medical school? There are so many reasons why it is harder, but I don't have enough words to say them all. Not to mention, I highly doubt you do 7.5-15 hours of homework a day :S Clearly you just have no concept of how much you really study. Sorry bud, you don't have it as bad as you think you do (in fact you have it very easy, enjoy it)

He just said he studies 2-4 hours a day.. in the video.. SO listen to the video. And yes I study a lot more than 2-4 hours a day. It's pretty easy I guess. But I have 4 AP classes and 2 college classes.. SO it's pretty comparable to college. I think so at leased.
samtron77v 3 years ago
Lol you mean "I think so at least"? You don't understand that the college lifestyle is what makes it much more difficult. Your course material isn't nicely handed to you anymore, you have to find out a lot of the info yourself. Not to mention your schedule, HS classes are in a compact time, giving you all night to do homework. In Uni you can have a class that starts at 9am, and the same day one that starts at 9pm. It's very tiring compared to HS. You cannot understand until you experience it.

Like I said I already take 2 courses in the university. It's challenging but if you spend enough time you get the hang of it. I know the timing would be different but I live 5 minutes away from the University so it should be cool. But I do agree it will be hard to adapt to.

Well @ least I hope you understand that. Just realize that it's not as easy as you think it is, regardless if your taking one, two, or three university courses. I just hate it when younger people think they have it really difficult, because they are completely deluded.

Yeah I completely agree. And I could probably get away with studying less. But I just over do it for preparation. I know it will be hard.. Specially if I plan on attending medical school in the future. Because for that I need to get all A's
samtron77v 3 years ago
I took AP classes and college classes when I was in HS too, and no I didn't study nearly as much as you claim to. If you honestly NEED to study as much as you are now, college is gonna be a rough transition. Try to pay more attention in your classes so that you don't need to study so much outside of them.

Are you serious? Did you not just read my comments? Quote "And I could probably get away with studying less. But I just over do it for preparation." from my previous comment. And also if you took 4 AP classes and 2 courses at college, then no way in hell could you get away with studying less than at least 3-4 hours a day. I could pass for sure if I didn't study as much. But I have a 4.0 so I aim for high A's.
samtron77v 3 years ago
I've heard plenty of comments like that in my college years. Including things like, if I studied a little more, I would probably have a 4.0 -- coming from people with 2.7 gpa's, so saying you can get the same gpa by studying less doesn't say much to me. Don't say you can do it, just do it. I understand you're a smart kid, but I'm just saying there's a difference between HS and college. I was cocky in HS too, and I got my ass kicked when I got here. Don't do the same thing.
yale120 3 years ago 5
actually college is not that hard, if you did well in high school, college should be a piece of cake because the first two years are like a review but with more details.I took 13 hours during the summer and made all As. and in the fall semester, I took 21 hours of college classes and made all As. And I also have 8 hours of AP. Right now I have 42 hours with a 4.0 GPA.
In conclusion: the first two years of college are easy, but then junior and senior year and challenging.

You don't need to have a bachelors to take the MCAT but you do need one to enter med school.Any bachelors will do, even a BA. You also need to have taken the prerequisite courses to prepare for the MCAT. These are General Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics (each are 1 year courses). Medical schools apparently like diversity in their student body so you don't necessarily need a bachelors in the sciences. Any bachelors will do. A nursing degree is valuable experience.
