Great tips! Interviewing prospective medical students too. Couldn’t agree more. Want to add, don’t make up things when answering. They don’t have to be spectacular but cant tolerate any form or hint of dishonesty.

Who am I:
wow i love that jade plant
My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on YouTube or my website 🌐 (https://zhighley.com/).
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (https://zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).
You don't think it may be strange to have someone return from the bathroom asking questions about you centered around a google search? You could really get someone in trouble tossing tips like that around.

Good video. However I think you meant that the dangers of assisted suicide outweigh the positives that go along with assisted suicide - not the negatives. Or have I got that wrong?

State universities of NY are SUNY, as a New yorker I just want to give you friendly FYI, Its pronounced "sooh-nie" :)
@gggonzalezeThis is so different from my country (The Netherlands). I’m a first year med student and I had to take 2 tests (one about the subjects from high school that are relevant for med school and one about how you would react to different situations with patients and other students). I also had to write a letter about my motivation and 3 people that know me had to write recommendations (and the letter was not even that important, because they mostly look at your test scores). The way we are selected is to give everyone an equal chance. (Some of the other med schools in the Netherlands do have different selection procedures) This is because you usually go to med school straight out of high school and barely anyone has got any experience in this field.
@dagmarvantilborg1414I’ve watched hundreds of videos and this is by far the most helpful! So insightful and I love the specifics, thank you so much for this!
@madisonhughes5752Love the content. Subscribed!
@arthurcross-najafi1108I love how you answered that tricky question about assisted suicied. I just discovered your channel and it's really cool!
@milleniumfalcon754At 0:55 I thought that was your nail. I got worried for a bit. I thought you had finger clubbing or something.
@CrazyAsianDudeThe little skits that you added made me laugh, great video!
@sabahbacker705“Hot nurses bro.. come on!” 😂👌🏻
@Utubebieber96Very interesting, there usually are no interviews for med school any country so this was a nice insight.
@aspic5881U r v smart and intelligent
@aimenkamara2964Is that a speedy I see? A man with taste! Great videos by the way!
@VinhNguyen-ln6soI'm so impressed, these tips can be used in any kind of interview situation! Thank you so much 😁
@Winnerslay1I don’t want to be a doctor, I am Swedish and I am already studying at university but it was interesting ho learn about the interview. At my university you can study medicin without having to be interviewed, you just have to have good enough grades to get a spot.
@blabarsris6012wow, that was si informative. Thank you .
@angeerascozycorner6090I have one very simple earring (and am a man). Ryan Gray says keep it; you say take it out. Decisions...
@WilsonRidgewhat would you recommend doing, if I'm not familiar with every ethical principle? Can I ask the student interviewer/faculty to elaborate more?
@tiredpremed6842Thanks.
You know what you will also have a big community of subscribers one day!!!!😀
More great advice! Good point with the mission statement!
