My brother I appreciate this video! I left school in 2015 w/ a 1.8 gpa and I’m now back in school to become a doctor. Your story gave me the motivation. Oh & BLU PHI! Spring 14 GAK
So important to show the dark side of the road to success! Most aren’t willing to be as open, real and up front. Kudos to you for being that person. Your story is inspiration for many!! ✨
That was ALL God running through you when you wrote that letter for Med School. Should’ve applied the same effort for Megan Good! Bc of that, you were NO Good!!! 😂😂😂. But nah, you found the best thing in Dolly Bro! That story is moving! One semester with a 1.8 GPA, would’ve never imagined that we had something in common. I maintained a 3.0-3.6 through my sophomore year of high school, and after finding myself with the wrong influences, I barely walked across the Stage with a humiliating 1.48 GPA. But when you are down, it’s all about that one rebound (pivotal moment) and driving down the other side of the court with a game plan to win! Finished undergrad with a 4.03 GPA. Anyhow, this is about you! Good story my man!!!💯
😂😂😂😂😂 @NO Good! I appreciate your story! We definitely have a lot in common. It’s blessing that we were able to overcome all that to get to where we are at. Keep doing big thangs! Major motivations! 🙌🏾
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 I just discovered your channel, very inspiring. I'm a black girl who's a rising junior in high school. My GPA is currently a 3.3, and I was hoping if I have straight A's and/or do well on my PSAT, I'll get another scholarship. I wanted to get my gpa to at least a 3.5 before I graduate. Currently thinking about endocrine surgery. 🙂
babygabe 0827 You have a great head on your shoulders at this young age of yours. With your mindset, you are going to do extremely well during your path of becoming a doctor. Keep it up!
This video is sooo relatable. I just finished my freshman yr at my hbcu and my gpa is lower than its ever been. Trying to juggle rotc and a rigorous major. Just changed my major to something I'm more passionate about, trying to do it right this time. Thanks for the motivation!
Another dope video! Appreciate the transparency & I love the Meagan Good story!! Haha and man, at least you shot your shot! You’re a real one for that! 🤣🙌🏾🔥
Love the new channel! I like hearing stories of how people got to where they are. You should talk about why you chose internal medicine. Why not Anesthesia? Emergency Medicine etc. Keep the content coming!!
I appreciate this video. I’ve started out with a lower gpa and improved my study habits retaking some classes to improve my overall gpa with the intention of getting in the Baylor PA program and your story lets me know I’m on the right track with the possibility of being successful.
I did the same thing my first year of college but the difference is I had no parents!! I had two kids I provided for @ 16!! My lil sister & older brother! I worked at Target from 5-1, went to school from 2-7, came home cooked, helped my lil sister with her homework! Yeah it was tough😤
I'm 21, I started my college journey in Fall 2019, I graduated high school in June 2019. This is my 3rd time returning to the community college (I did try an online university in 2020 but hated it). I've been on academic probation twice since returning to community college (the second time being now as I'm writing this). I've been told I shouldn't go back because I left already. Tbh, I do feel a bit behind of some people that I graduated high school with, as they are graduating 4 year universities next year or graduated from community colleges last year. I have no one else to blame but myself for my short comings but I'm okay. I'm taking one class a semester until I raise my GPA to a 2.0. Once I do so, I plan on taking 2-3 classes. Sometimes I still feel a bit down and upset but ik all of this is worth it. While my major is special education, I may plan on taking that and going into the medical mental health field, specifically habilitation technician, something of the sorts, after I graduate community college. Just wanted to share my story. It's never too late to better yourself and further your education in whichever path you deem best for you and your future. Good luck to everyone!!😁🙌🏿
Hey Doc! I’ve been following you on Instagram for some time now, THANK you for making this! We need to see more people who look like us who didn’t necessarily have the “straightest” path to medical school! I already looked up to you, but now I do 10x more because you’re relatable! Currently in a post baccc preparing to take my MCAT this summer and apply this cycle! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
That’s great to hear! I’m happy that I could be someone you relate to. I’ve heard great things about post bacc programs! Keep grinding and Good luck to you on your MCAT this summer! And thank you for subscribing! I promise to work hard to keep providing content for you and others! 🙏🏾
Oh & let me not forget to congratulate you for pushing through! I asked my nephew to follow you he's a young knucklehead just graduated high school & could use this BLACK INSPIRATION
Hello! first of I just want to thank you for this video. It meant a lot to hear someone be in a similar situation that I am currently in and still managed to accomplish their dreams. Its a true inspiration. If its not too much to ask, I was wondering if it would it be possible for you to make an informative video about how you wrote your personal statement. Regardless of this being a possibility, I still appreciate this video and want to thank you again for the motivation it provided
Inspiring story about college. Seeing this video will help me tackle the fear of nursing school. What steps did you take to build your foundation for studying?
1 on 1 tutor helped me tremendously at the beginning but other study tools I learned while at Ross. I will actually get into detail in the video about studying etc while I was in medical school ✊🏾
Queen Talk Don’t feel like I need to. If I’m saying saying how bad it was and me not getting into medical school, that should be enough to understand it was low. Thank you for the advice though.
🔥✊🏿 content bro, so how did you preserve through all that what were you thinking when everything was falling down around you ? And what age did you finish medical school?
Honestly it had to deal with changing my own mentality and realizing my future is NOW on the line compared to high school but also making sure I surrounded myself with the right people who pushed me to do well
Thanks for sharing your story. I know you weren’t the “best student” in college, but what would you say helped you prepare for the MCAT? I’m a junior in college obtaining my degree in Biology. Any tips or advices would help tons! 🙏
Honestly for me, it was my tutor. Going to a prep class would of been great had I had a good foundation to build on. My tutor was able to see where I struggled at and rewire my thinking. But everyone is different! Some people work well in prep classes and others do better studying alone
Similar story life happen and I’ve had to retake classes. Do med schools frown upon retaking courses ? Like is there a limit to how many times you can retake a class and still be accepted to medical school?
I had a 1.8 GPA. Brought it up to a 3.3 cumulative and 3.0 sci. I've published COVID research, managed a medical lab, taught lectures on neuroscience at my college and even trained volunteers at Columbia U NYP hospital. What are my chances for a US MD or DO? whats your linkedin?
That's a huge comeback gpa wise. All you gotta do is keep up that trend, do well on your mcat and make sure you have other parts of your applications are solid and you'll get in somewhere.
@@mohamedsaid9416 Try to go to office hours and go over the exam with your professor and find out exactly why you're getting questions wrong whether its a content problem or testing anxiety.
Chris Verner For medical school it was definitely expensive. One of the drawbacks to a Caribbean med school. Will talk about that in the next video or two
lol id be trippin over meghan too... can u plz mention how many hours a day ross students had to study? and is it true carribean schools make the test super hard to flunk people out and grade on a curve?
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 no I hated the school, I love school in general that’s why I like going but the school I went to I just hated it overall and finally left
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 overall goal is I like obstetrics and gynecology so I’ve been working in the medical field during my time out of school to see if I like the medical environment , I love it more even though I work with eyes primarily, making sure patients receive the best care and are listened to and treating them is the best pay off I don’t consider it work
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 wow that's interesting. Do you mind doing a video of your process how u were able to practice in the US with an international medical degree cos I know the US be moving mad with their license and all. Thanks
Bro I had a 2.1 gpa on academic probation majoring in biology. Now I’m a Surgical Robotics service engineer 😂😂

Not sure everyone would have been able to recover or be even looked at by most medical schools even with that recovery. Strong work.

At the end of the day, you only live for yourself so so what makes you happy. If it ain’t school, don’t force it.
