Medical School Application Explained

- If you want to become a doctor, you have to go to medical school. And to get into medical school in the United States, you must follow a standardized application process, which has several nuances you should know about.
Getting into medical school in the United States is a competitive ordeal, with approximately 53,000 students applying each year for 22,000 seats. That means the acceptance rate is roughly 41%. Matriculants also have an average GPA of 3.73 and MCAT of 511.5, which is the 83rd percentile.
The Primary Application to medical school is done through either AMCAS, AACOMAS, or TMDSAS, depending on whether you're applying to MD (allopathic) or DO (osteopathic) medical schools, and whether you're applying to Texas medical schools.
Secondary applications are sent about a month later, and unlike the primary application, are specific to each school. If the medical school is impressed by your primary and secondary applications, then you'll be invited to an interview. Interviews can be traditional, multiple mini interview (MMI), or panel.
Finally, the medical school will give you a decision, being acceptance, rejection, or waitlist.

Here in India we have 1.4 million students competing for 42000 seats through a nation wide medical entrance exam. I'm one of them this year.
You will make it good luck! Fighting! ❤️
I also want to be a doctor
But i am still in middle school 😂 o levels
@@hyekyo_blink4134 start looking for shadowing opportunities. There's a lot for high schoolers when you get there
But in india, it’s just one exam to determine the acceptance. Here in the USA, we have to be extremely well rounded and do many types of activities to be a doctor.
@@JimMilton-gp9opThe numbers are misleading as well since US MD applicants are self-selecting as the barrier to applying to medical school is much larger than in India. If you include all pre-meds in undergrad the numbers are probably similar 1.5 million pre-meds 20,000 seats
As a first year pre-med, this is such valuable information to know
Same
Ohh good luck guys. Glad im already through that (other application though since in Europe)
Same here, let's do this
nigga you mean a freshman
Quick question.. What course are you studying as a pre med? I'm studying associates of science and this is my first year in undergrad.. I want to make sure Im studying the right thing
I already know all of this but I keep watching these videos in hopes that the reality of how close next year's application cycle is will hit me and kick me into overdrive with MCAT studying.
Skipped last cycle bc of burnout from mcat prep, but this video definitely made me feel more confident about the whole process
I would like to add a 4th interview type that I have encountered a couple times this cycle: completely virtual. There are some schools that have adopted a virtual interview format without an interviewer present. You are granted access to a portal where questions will show up on the screen and your response is recorded. Not my favorite interview style, but you do get to do it on your own time.
Wait. What? How is that even acceptable? I hope you’re not going to that school.
I interviewed in person for both med school and residency. Now doing virtual fellowship interviews, I definitely feel something is lost. But nothing that audacious.
Great. This is truly an anatomy of a Med-School application.
This is a deep one. It helps realized each step ahead
It's fascinating to see the US system! 😊 Many similarities compared to UK - importance of an engaging personal statement, entrance exam, and finally the interview (panel or MMI) where you have to display your passion and research into the profession. In the UK, we have a unified system (UCAS) for university applications. But wherever you are, preparation is key - every step is important!! Good luck to all 🙌😊💯
Azmain do you know any indian youtuber who does videos on such topics?
I definitely would love to recurve second dart application prompts
Great video. I was unwise and applied in late October to medical school because I didn’t understand the process well. It still worked out and I got into my top MD school I wanted to go to but I would echo Kevin’s advice and encourage any applicants to apply in June as soon as you can!
What’s school? Stats?
@@lilliampumpernickle4655 520 with a 3.9 in Biomedical Engineering
@@mitchellkirkham844 wow that is amazing. I hope to have stats like that. Currently a freshman pre med
@@lilliampumpernickle4655 Thank you! I’m excited for you, it is a hard journey but a good one. Enjoy your pre-med years! Some of the best pieces of advice given to me were to learn early that the best ways to make it as a pre-med is to find a good group of friends and work together to help each other get there. The second one is to find your “brand” so whether you love music, videography, fishing, etc. that is what makes you, you and you can use that direction to build a framework for your resume. For example, one of my best friends was an avid skiier, joined ski patrol, and also researched rotational stress on the knee joints of skiiers. Schools love stuff like that and it is fun for you too because you can chase your passion. Again, I’m super excited for you and have fun!
@@lilliampumpernickle4655 can I ask how old you are?
Please make a video comparing UK & US medical schools.
Really love your videos😉
What’s the music in the background?
Hey Med School Insiders... do you guys think you can have a video for students that want to get into med school but has close to zero academic experience, just barely graduated high school and chased a different career path? I personally went back to Korea to do my army service for 2 years, came back and i still didn't know what i wanted to do. So I'd been working odd jobs until the pandemic hit and a lot of things happened in my life, and I decided i'm going to be a doctor. Not that i "want to" or i "need to", i'm going to. I know it's gonna be hard especially since I had barely studied back in high school and it's been 7 years since then, but i'm determined to take the first step and not give up. Please help!
I dropped out of high school, spent 5-6 years working random jobs, got my GED and went back to college, graduated and now I'm a first year at a US MD school. PM me if you want any advice/help with this.
I applied medical school in my country today. Wish me luck. I know it is gonna be challenge but challenge accepted 😎
Great vid man 👍🏽
Hey doctor I was just wondering can u do another so u want to be for transplant surgery I’m very interesting in it
Can you make a video about "so you want to be an endocrinologist?"
I don't have a bachelor's degree. I have a 2 year degree, called "technology degree" in my home county, plus an MBA. Can I still apply to med school?
Here in India we have 2.2 million students competing for 42000 seats through a nation wide medical entrance exam. I'm one of them NEXT year. HATE THIS THOUGH
Can't do anything for it 🥲 .. I'll be giving neet in 2026 🥲
@@shashikalayadav2647 man I’m going for the next one ie 2025 🫡
Dude you should make podcasts
Is there any way to skip 4_year pre_m and just get a GPA? Or at least go to a shorter pre med?
BS/MD programs are a way to shorten the premed process but only for students who are absolutely sure they want a career in medicine. medschoolinsiders.com/pre-med/bs-md-programs-how-to-get-in/
@@MedSchoolInsiders thanks. I still need to take the SAT exam right?
Sir, kindly consider making a dedicated video for international medical graduates to get into US medical system.
I'm currently doing 2nd year at medschool in India and aspire to serve and practice in the United States. Please explain the various steps to get residency in US hospitals.
Hari do you know any indian youtuber who does videos on such topics?
You need to take the USMLE after graduation (MBBS). That's what I know.
@@IfIDont_NobodyWill Yes brother. I know about USMLE. But there are different levels of preparation and exams. I don't have the clear cut image. I hope Dr. Kevin Jubbal clarify that in a video like this one.
here in bangladesh, we sit in exams to get in government medical schools and the acceptance rate is 5%....
Do you think it’s to late for someone in there 30’s to start premed?
I don’t think there’s an age limit
No it's not too late, you'll be in medicine for a good 30-40 years still.
Of course not. Go for it!
Anatomy of college application please. Im in middle school and I want to get a full view of how to get a perfect college application.
Yeah me too in middle school
Doing science
Struggling to make my marks better 😔 it's so hard but i want to be a doctor 😷
How’s the progress going?
It's 1.6 mil applicants and 100k seats in India
What a long process. In Italy you only have to take one test. The only setback is that It Is very selective
Here in Spain you also just need one test to get into Med School and another to graduate. And I agree, I think the US one is quite too complicated including having to do 4 years of college.
Do "So u want to be a Pathologist" please
what were his stats?
So do you have to wait around and do nothing for a whole year if you get rejected?
Apply to Caribbean schools
You can choose to do that which is not recommended or use that year to strengthen your resume for the next time around
Me, from other country , with no chanse of becoming doctor: interesting
between this + a reddit post saying they applied to 70 schools and got into 4... lemme pick another career LMAO
Excuse them? 70 schools and only 4 accepted them? Dang.
I really want to be either a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist, or a cardiothorasic surgeon. I'm just now starting on my bachelors degree and I have a long ways to go. It's intimidating. I'm sorry 😞
Don't give up I know you can do it I'm rooting for you
@@chantelkuseni2688 Thank you very much. I have autism. This will be my biggest obstacle in my entire life.
@@elijahmurray6094 You got it my man

@@elijahmurray6094 nananananananana BATMAN!!!!!
Imagine being judged whether you're admitted or not based on an essay about overcoming challenges 😭 us medical school application process is a joke
Like, in theory, if everyone was answering honestly, it would be a good idea, but I seriously doubt anyone writes these essays expressing their honest opinions and experiences and not the things the admission committees want to hear 🤷🏻♀️ it's ridiculous, same goes to the interviews, the majority is just faking their personalities so that the interviewers like them
Hi can't u make a Vid For MD school for international students?? Thanks :)
That seems so stressful for me.....i filled out probably 30min of personal info for application (name, hometown, highschool etc NOT GRADES). Then 6months later took an exam (not knowledge based, more abilities such as quick grasp of difficult text or interpretation of diagrams etc.)
Done. If i score high enough i get in. 6years of med school right after High school.
And yes, its actually harder to get in. 41% in USA, ca 30% or even less here.
And boom, im in 3rd year now.
Wait, can you please explain more? What did you do? Did you only score high grades to get in? Without research and shadowing or anything else? I'm genuinely asking because I know nothing about how to get in med school and I'm so worried
So you want to be a medical teacher “doctor” 🙏🏽
