Med Schools will HATE me for Sharing their Acceptance Secrets. Ep. 5

Medical school admissions are changing, yet almost no one is discussing it. If you’re pre-med, this video could change how you approach applications and get accepted to med school. The opportunity is real, but so are the risks.Recently, a U.S. medical school director made a statement that shocked me, and in this video, I explain why it matters for your journey to becoming a doctor.You’ll learn:(1) Why some medical schools (especially new DO programs) couldn’t even fill their seats in 2023(2) How the explosion of new DO schools has shifted the acceptance landscape(3) Why the MD vs. DO residency divide no longer exists(4) The massive red flag every pre-med must know about before applyingCHAPTERS: 00:00 Medical School Admissions is Changing00:40 3 Key Things1:24 What Changed?2:24 Med Schools are Increasing3:14 The Red Flag4:16 Important Questions to AskThis isn’t speculation. I’m sharing direct insights from admissions leadership, AAMC/AACOM data, and my own experience as a pre-med student applying in this environment.Watch until the end, then drop a comment: Do you think the rapid rise of new medical schools empowers future physicians, or are we setting students up to struggle with poor clinical infrastructure?If you want more clarity on choosing between MD and DO schools, check out my full conversation with an Emergency Medicine physician here: https://youtu.be/Cj1Qr0rdfwk?si=vKnUys_CtDwH6yFkReferences for Stats in Video: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xq_lhxYQRye2BFNoEopDtk6NeGvGNzDysdo7BDTykEo/edit?tab=t.abl3x1s70dp9As always—Make Each Heartbeat Count.Note: The man at the beginning of this video is my dad, not an actual admissions officer :)Support me and veterans with U.S.-made athletic apparel: https://www.truevictory.com/-knvpSk9MS9C Sponsor with True Victory: 15% OFF CODE: OPERATION22Music: Artlist.io: Whodunit by FableForte, Riddles by FableForte, Dark Secrets by Matt Evans, Earth Creative Cut - Minimal by Naama Zafran, Depth of Field by TikoTiko.Editing Software: Adobe Premiere Pro, Capcut 2025-----------------------------------------------------Teach the like button a lesson, and if you aren’t already subscribed, then do so because that’s what the doctor prescribed.
