    noticed you were the president of a fraternity in undergrad, i’m also in a fraternity and wondering if being president/vice president would be something that would look good as a leadership role or would be more of a hindrance on my application.

    Super video! Sometimes people think that they got into UCSF because of their essay, but you might have gotten in DESPITE your essay.
    Although it's a good story, you took 3 paragraphs to get to answer the key question: "Why do you want to be a doctor?"
    I suggest applicants get to the point faster.
    Congrats on UCSF!

    • @avmed1445
      @avmed1445  Před rokem +4

      I took it the summer after my sophomore year, I front-loaded a lot of the coursework early. I only took a few AP classes.

    • @ke3516
      @ke3516 Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, it is. It's part of the UC system. Already competitive for in-state as is, so you have to be extra special to even be considered as out-of-state.

    Being a hispanic and the disadvantaged are the most important factors that you got into UCSF, please remember this is California!

      @imthrillz5255 Před 6 měsíci +7

      A cGPA of 3.90, sGPA 3.87, and mcat of 518 is quite literally enough to get you into any medical school in the country if you have a great personal statement with good EC.
      That holistic crap that med schools throw around doesn’t mean shit if you dont atleast break a 3.5+ gpa and/or a 510+ mcat. Anyone who is familiar with amcas or med school would know this.
