Transcripts
it is so so annoying when YouTubers
waste your time so let's get right into
it here is every single bsmd bsdo and
pre-med school that I applied to feel
free to take a screenshot of this list
now I applied to quite a few bsmd
programs why well there's two main
reasons one they're hardest to get
into so you basically have to apply to a
bunch of schools if you truly want to
maximize your odds and two I'm a
psychopath but more specifically I've
been obsessed with bsmd programs since
my freshman year of high school so by
the time it came around to college
admissions I knew that I had an
application at that level I was a
competitive applicant I made sure that
it was worth my time to commit to bsmd
programs and by doing that I applied to
14 bsmd programs one be a steal program
and four pre-med colleges I'm going to
go over all the schools that I got
interviews at that I was accepted to and
that I was also rejected from but as I
go through and do that I'm also going to
give some really really useful
admissions information about all of
these different schools in regards to
which ones have weird application
processes excessive essays weird changes
in their Admissions and their program so
that when you guys go through and apply
to these schools you can use this
information to make some decisions that
I wasn't able to do you guys have the
edge because I've already gone through
all this process learn from my mistakes
and you will be able to excel in this
bsmd admissions process you know how we
roll on this channel when I talk about
these different schools I'm not going to
BS you with information that you already
know I'm only giving my unique
perspectives and insights here and
that's what I know you guys are here for
now let's kick this video off with the
very first program Rensselaer
Polytechnic institute's bsmd program
with Albany Medical College now if
you've been around this channel before
you'll know that this is the program
that I currently attend it's a seven
year NOAA MCAT program as well as all
the other programs that lead into Albany
Medical College that go through Union
and Siena are all the same now I
actually applied to this program on
August 6th now to give you some
perspective the application opened on
August 1st I was straight ready to apply
as soon as it opened because the
deadline was November 1st it just made
sense to kick things off with that
school now the application is pretty
reasonable for RPI they only ask you for
about three essays but the main thing to
look out for here is the supplemental
application they send it at a really
really awkward time for me it was around
Thanksgiving they don't give you much
time to do it and there are quite a few
essays you need to work on so when that
supplemental application comes through
be ready for it catch it and here's
exactly what I did what I did was I
think I skipped one to two days of
school just to work on the supplemental
application so I could write out all the
essays and then I think I submitted it
within four or five days and they had
given maybe eight or nine to work on it
the next college we're going to talk
about are the New Jersey medical school
bsmd programs now I applied to New
Jersey medical school and I was accepted
through the Drew University bsmd program
so that program has a 3.5 GPA
requirement with no MCAT it's a seven
year program I was able to get in with
good quality scholarships it is quite a
reasonable good program overall it was
one of the top ones on my list
especially given that I got into it now
the main thing to look out for were Drew
is that it's a very very easy
application they barely even make you
write essays but they do actually make
you go through two interviews you do an
interview with the undergraduate school
and one with the med school it's not
that hard I mean the a med school one is
definitely quite tricky but the
undergrad one was pretty chill so just
keep that in mind that those two things
are coming up for you Hofstra University
is an interesting case now I got both an
interview and was accepted to Hofstra
University and overall it's quite an
easy ride applying to Hofstra in general
is not difficult I think there's just
one essay and then for the bsmd
application that comes later you write
another two essays that are pretty
generic now the Hofstra interview is
pretty easy as well so overall the
admission process is the half stroke if
you can manage to get in is quite smooth
all the way so this is a school that I'd
highly recommend just throwing onto your
list because not only is the Zucker
School of Medicine brand new I went to
tour it and it looks beautiful but the
time you spend to the reward that you
get out of it that ratio is excellent
for the school you don't write many
essays but if you get in it's a great
school so I'd recommend applying to it
let's talk about the most well-known
notorious bsmd program Brown's program
in Liberal medical education the plimy
program in order to apply to the plimy
program they ask you for a bunch of
essays on the common application I
believe you have to write six essays
they are all shorter length they've come
to around 300 words each but it still
takes a considerable amount of time
because the prompts are usually pretty
unique so you can't really just recycle
essays that you already had now this
school doesn't have any sort of
interview but it is kind of the Holy
Grail of bsmd because you get to go to
an Ivy League institution in the med
school now I personally did not get into
the plimy program but I was accepted to
Brown to study Neuroscience as a pre-med
major now keeping in mind the fact that
I had gotten into other bsnb programs
like RPI it just didn't make sense to go
to Brown for undergrad and go down the
traditional pre-med path if you want
more information on that you can go
check out my video on which pre-med
schools are good and which ones you
should definitely think about applying
to the next three schools we're going to
talk about are some schools that you
should definitely keep note of for a few
interesting reasons first let's talk
about Boston University bu now this
school is very highly regarded for its
bsmd program because one it's a seven
year program and two uh more
specifically they have a really really
great med school now the thing about bu
is that when you apply to the program
they actually don't really contact you
like at all if you get an interview and
stuff of course they're going to
naturally reach out to you but I didn't
get into the program and I didn't hear
anything from them the only time they
even contacted me was at the very end of
March in order to let me know that I got
rejected from the program and also I
believe I didn't get into the
undergraduate school as well now I'm
going to talk about that a little bit
later but let's move on to next George
Washington University they did a very
similar thing I had a very similar
experience with them George Washington
has a fantastic med school but I believe
they accept just 10 kids into their bsfd
program with literally thousands
applying this is similar to the third
School in our Trifecta here which is
Case Western Reserve University now this
was a school I had kind of been eyeing
for a minute when I was applying to bsmd
programs because I had a friend who went
to the same high school as me who is
attending case Western's bsmd program
they have a top 20 med school it's a no
MCAT program it is eight years but you
know they do a good job of pacing it out
now that seems like a solid solid med
school but the one thing to keep in mind
when applying to case is that they get
like 3 200 applicants at least in my
year that they were claiming applied to
the school now the numbers have just
gone up more and more it is hard to get
into on top of that if you're going to
apply to Case Western just be mindful of
the fact that they're undergoing some
strange changes the bsmd program is
still intact but now they've had talks
about making kids go through a med
school interview they're trying to push
students to do more and more things just
make sure that you're Vigilant when
applying to these bsnb programs because
the worst thing that could happen is
that you apply to a school you get
really excited over it and then they end
up changing some rules in a way that
doesn't really fit what you were looking
for in that institution the special
thing about each of these three schools
is that even with the qualifications
that I have I don't think I got into any
of these schools undergraduate programs
either what happened was that bu and
George Washington sent me like follow-up
applications basically saying something
along the lines of if I want to still be
considered for undergrad admission to
submit like an extra Essay with some
more details and then they'll go ahead
and review it but I think what these
schools are doing is basically something
called yield protection it's basically
where they want to be able to protect
their yield rate and statistics and
numbers and they know that if I've
applied to the school for bsmd the odds
that I'm going to come for pre-med are
very very low because it doesn't make
sense especially with an application of
our tier right we're applying for the
top of the top there's a good chance we
might have gotten to another bsnb
program or even just a better pre-med
school why would we go there so if
you're truly interested they send you
some application to apply but naturally
I didn't fill it out because it just
doesn't make sense for Case Western I
think they just flat out rejected me and
I just like moved on with my life the
next batch of bsmd programs are the
state schools now these are all funky
every single School you see on this list
I did not get into but at the same time
I got into all of their like undergrad
schools and they all give you
scholarships so if you're applying to
these types of State schools keep in
mind that they save and they reserve a
lot of seats for in-state candidates the
number ranges between 50 to 80 of the
spots they have are reserved for
in-state kids so if you're applying as
an out-of-state person and you don't
have that Advantage you're fighting an
uphill battle here so make sure that you
you proportion your time correctly in
the time that you spend on these schools
is relative to the other schools that
are more private institutions that don't
have these kind of biases and that
you're not getting scammed here other
tips in regard to State schools one I
applied to all of the honors programs I
got into all of them I have full faith
that all of you can do the exact same
it's really not that much of an
achievement but if you end up getting
into the actual bsmd program and you
plan on going to the schools well then
getting into the honors program is just
one more thing that's going to like Aid
you to succeed once you go there so make
sure that you set yourself up for
Success special mentions in the state
school list one is Penn State University
this program is ridiculous because as
much as like there is a Prestige of
going to like the Jefferson uh Penn
State med school and that is like a
solid solid program Penn State asked you
to write like a ridiculous number of
essays just for the bsmd program alone I
believe I had to write four to five
essays each with like several hundred
words they were not short essays like
what you see in brown and on top that
the biggest scam here is if you decide
to apply to the honors program which
asks you like eight 500 word essays that
are brand new unique to the school that
was the one honors program that I
decided not to apply to it just didn't
make sense why would you commit that
much time to Penn State University I
don't live in Pennsylvania the chances
that I get in are about this much so
who's sitting here writing Penn State
application Honors College what I could
apply to easily three four more bsmp
programs for that same time not worth it
you can take inspiration for what I've
done and just be vigilant about that
moving on to a special special school
we're going to talk about Juniata and
leecom Lake Erie College of osteopathics
medicines bsdo program now leecom is
kind of a core Central bsdo program that
has a bunch of affiliations with like 50
universities or something like that the
thing about uh the Juniata program was
that they had very very very minimal
like GPA requirements in regards to your
MCAT I think there was even a
possibility that you could like skip out
on on some of that where you had to get
a really really low score I like this
program overall in addition Juniata gave
me like 30k scholarship now the special
part about this program is not just the
fact that I was accepted to it and all
of these good perks are there but it's
the fact that the admissions process is
so ridiculously easy guys I'm gonna clue
you in on this I applied to this program
in like August September and first of
all they barely even had essays like I
didn't write a single essay for the
school I got to the interview stage the
interview is not even with an actual
human being it's literally with like a
one-way interview where they just ask
you questions you get like two minutes
to record a video on demand and it sends
it to them super easy and I got in so
fast that I was just able to have this
bsnb program as a backup now if you
thinking of like legitimately applying
to bsnb programs as a focus go ahead and
apply this was so so easy for me to get
into that like you guys just have to
look into it at least if not just try it
because there's barely anything you have
to do on your end and like what's the
worst case scenario you have this backup
bsdo spot in case you want to become an
osteopathic doctor like why not the very
last tips here come down to the pre-med
schools now I applied to these four
pre-med schools I got into all of them
to be honest the applications are very
straightforward one thing to keep in
mind is that if you're applying to these
pre-med schools I applied to liberal
arts schools I specifically looked at
the top like liberal arts schools to
apply to that also had minimal essay
requirements I didn't write more than
one essay or maybe a Max two essays for
each of these schools and most of them I
was just able to recycle something I
already had so if you're applying with
the same kind of ratio bsmd Focus that
I'm doing just do something like that
it's very very unintelligent to apply to
like 10 12 pre-med schools when you
could be applying and taking that time
to do more BCD applications if you're
committed to bsmd go all the way don't
go down this half-assed path with like a
mix of IVs and pre-med schools and then
the actual bsmd programs just apply to a
handful that's all you need that's it
for this video thank you all so much for
