Thank you. Your advice at the end of the video really helped calm me about making these decisions, and I needed to hear that. So thank you, also I hope your studying went well, I'm sure it did.
Love you bro 👍
THANK YOU. I needed to hear this today more than you know

👍🙏❤️ miss you baby bro!!
Thank you for this. I've been thinking about applying but so much worried
chy mgbikeh thank you for letting me know that it helped. That helps me knowing that I helped you helping me help you... helping I
How to know if its for you.
1. Can you self study everything on your own?
2. Are you an innately good test taker?
3. Can you dish out lots of money?
Hey Sean! Thank you for this. It really helps! Where are you rotating right now for your 4th year?
hey man of course. Dude i made a recent video about pros and cons of caribbean schools. check it out, if you wanna hear more. and im in brooklyn right now. its been cool, but im sweating because of that step 2 date coming up
RUN HIDE FIGHT!
😂😂😂
Larry V classic . Never forget the Run Hide Fight chant lol
Hey quick question, where do you store your stuff while you go away for winter or summer break, or do you take everything back and forth?
Hey! When you live in the dorms, all the dorms have storage for all your stuff, over the breaks. also if you get the same dorm for the next term, you do NOT have to move anything. you can keep all your stuff inside your dorm room!
Do you recommend buying the First aid book in term 1/2 in your first year and annotate it throughout the first two years? Or do you recommend just buying it in term 5 right before you start your dedicated Step 1 studying time?
So here is the deal. I always liked having a physical copy of my books.. but i never once used the physical copy of first aid. I bought the 2017 physical in my 2nd term, and the 2019 in my 5th term. i didnt open either of them. haha. just something about having it on the ipad makes it much easier to search and use in the first place. but a lot of my friends got the physical copy and annotated by hand. i would wait till youre around your 4th term before buying, because there will be a newer version by the time you start your step studying.
either way, just for the peace of mind i would buy the physical copy just so you have the option of going electronic or physical. you can go hard with the annotating towards term 5 with the newer copy of your year. does that make sense?
Sean Darmal. Although I work at a human hospital in Saint Paul, MN. I’ve always been interested in vet-med. I understand that you’re pursuing an MD and not a DVM career. However, I feel that many things may apply to both type of prospective students when making decisions. If you happen to know a vet-student in SGU, may you connect me with them? I’m applying to SGU next year, and I’d like to cover every base before pulling the trigger. Thanks!
Hey Douglas, I completely understand, thats a great idea. I am really sorry but I am not close with anyone who is a vet student or even enough to have their contact information. I will try my best to see if anyone comes to mind in the mean time, and i will let you know if anything comes up. let me know if you have any updates on your end too.
Hey sean my biggest fear is matching, what have you seen since being there? Also what would you recommend as far as tools for studying during your 1st and 2nd year there? Thinking of going in january! Thanks for all your videos
Hey Sergio. So you know matching to a decent residency program is a scary thing. and something i am still worrying about. it really depends on how you do on your step 1 exam. and i am taking my exam soon. so it all comes down to this. and that is stressssfulll. but i will try to keep you informed as things go along. i am not at that part yet in my med school journey. but its something we all worry about.
and studying tools... first aid book, sketchy for your pharmacology and microbiology, and pathoma for pathology. but i wouldnt worry about that until your 2nd year-ish. for your first couple terms just worry about getting past that next exam and term
get that ipad
@@SeanDarmal perfect. Thank you so much. Good luck on the step 1 man, kill it!
How competitive is it to get into (accepted to) St. George's school of medicine?
The application process was really straight forward which was nice. You have nothing to lose by applying. I am not sure about the actual competitiveness of it though, i think i remember reading somewhere a long time ago it was like 25% acceptance?? or something
Hi, great video.
Which year are you in your med school at SGU?
thank you!! i just finished my 2nd year.. studying for my step 1 exam currently
I live for your videos fam
...................................
Does your school offer scholarships ?
thanks brobeans. yeah they do actually. ive been hearing of some getting scholarship offers.
does your performance on the MCAT reflect on your ability to score well on step?
Lia lol not at all
Clip of David, but not of me 😕
haha aww man. youre right my bro, what was i thinking
How soon start prep for Step?
you can start whenever you want. but i would suggest probably the best time being around the break in between your 4th and 5th term. that doesnt mean dedicated studying at that time, but to get your feet wet, and get used to the study load. it takes a while to ramp up to full speed and efficiency
I’m so into becoming a MD but not sure if I can economically pay for it, i don’t know what’s the tuition to pay, and maybe you can tell me. I’m from NYC by the way. Can you tell me as well, what are the requirements to get into??
Hey man, yeah tuition comes out to being close to 90k-100k per year. which will be way more expensive after interest. the requirements to get into med school are the four core med classes (bio, chem, ochem, physics), and the mcat exam. but that should be it. also keep in mind some teachers youd want to ask for letters of recommendation
Sean Darmal thanks a lot man, thanks for taking not only to read but to reply as well🙏🙏❤️
You can be miserable anywhere.... thanks dude😂
hahaha. words of wisdom haha thanks for watching
how long is a term?
its around 4 months of pure awesomeness, per term.
Hey sean i had few questions about sgu. I am nervous to start at caribbean school because i dont feel confident that i will pass the basics science and feel what if i fail there at sgu what will happen. I am retaking my mcat to improve my application but if i dont get the score i will be thinking about starting sgu or ross. I have 3.97 gpa and have all volunteeres activities but mcat was 482 so planning to take it again. Do you have any advice for me. I am scared of mcat exam now but wants to try on more time. i was thinking about changing to dental and maybe get admission here in usa rather than MD. However, my inner soul is saying pursue medicine. You have any words?
do you know anything about UMHS? or St James? any info on that ? :) Also, this question might be stupid, but what if you are sick??? Lol
Hey! i am sorry i really dont know anything about those schools, i never heard of them before. my bad!
Can Indian students also study MBBS in SUG
How hard was the STEP exam ?
the Step exam was very very hard, but completely doable. i destroyed myself for that exam.
Hey Brother by any chance do you have any knowledge about MUA? is it a school worth going to? Ive been accepted for sept but im scared to make a decision that i will later regret. any information would be beneficial ty so much! PS im non-us/canadian citizen
hey man! I am really sorry i have never heard of this school before. i dont think i can give any advice on it. my bad. but congratulations though!
I've heard of it. And the school does have a past of high attrition rate due to ineffective professors.
There is a lot of info on the SDN forum. Learn there.
Apply to other schools if you can.
Hey, If you are applying to any medical schools, i would say just stick to the BIG 4 which you can find on Google. Anything else is not worth it from my OWN personal research.
@ugochi nkoronye hi! Do you think SGU will be ok with accreditation after 2024?
Is there a Pre Med course at SGU?
Adison 30 yes
yeah there is one. i think they offer a few different undergraduate degrees. if you wanna come straight from high school. its around 3 additional years
Yes I’m currently in the program
Chidera Ajagu how is it?
Which year program does someone that just finished high school need to take?
The 7 year M.D program
Is studying medicine similar to the mcat?
HELLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOO! i hated the mcat. none of it made sense to me and i would still probably fail the mcat if i tried to take it again. haha studying medicine is way more straight forward. the only thing is that it is really fast pace and a lot of volume, but you quickly adjust to it. you would be surprised of what you are capable of when it comes down to it. you become a little more capable the more you move along your terms
that was my concern too. i thought i wouldnt be good in med school because i did terrible on the mcat, but they're two completely different things. good question
Thanks 😇
Sean Darmal wow! Thisss right here helps so much!! Cuz i thought MCAT was so shit
*Who is a good candidate for the 7 year MD program at SGU?*
Hi, sorry for the delay, can you elaborate on your question a little more? i think the 7 year program is good for anyone who wants to complete undergrad and med school back to back
@@SeanDarmal
Yes, that's what we are looking for our son who is going to be graduating High School soon.
Tell them about the Dinosaurs on the Island, Sean!
haha find out on the next episode of dragon ball z
