Getting Oriented – Who, What, Where, When, … But Why?
📣 STOP the Fluff! The Post-Pandemic (Pre) Med is Here. 🚀
Tired of the outdated pre-med playbook? Skip the "go shadow" advice. This is NOT your pre-health coach's podcast. No fluff. No cut corners.
🤯 Getting Oriented: The Show that Demystifies EverythingWelcome to The Post-Pandemic (Pre) Med, hosted by Neel, a current second-year medical student and former pre-health student. [cite_start]This show demystifies the world of medicine, research, interviews, and beyond for undergrads, med students, and trainees[cite: 5].
👨 The Host: Average Grades, Elite Results- [cite_start]
- Neel attended a **"pre-med factory"** but was **"average as can be"**[cite: 9]. [cite_start]
- He did NOT have a 4.0 GPA or a 528 MCAT[cite: 19]. [cite_start]
- He scored **over a 520 on the MCAT** by **studying smart, not hard**[cite: 12]. [cite_start]
- He got interviews from the nation’s top medical schools and currently attends one[cite: 20].
**The secret?** He’ll teach you how to make them care about **who you are**[cite: 15]. [cite_start]He even discussed his **Fender Telecaster** guitar in his interview more than the school itself[cite: 14]!
📌 The WHAT: Unconventional Wisdom [cite_start]Neel shares the unconventional advice he spent college figuring out—wisdom that took "blood, sweat, and tears"[cite: 21]. [cite_start]This is the advice that **isn’t advocated for by many advisors or professors**, but it landed him his position[cite: 22, 23].
🌐 The WHY: Leveling the Playing Field [cite_start]The lessons learned aren't ones you can google or ask a large language model[cite: 26]. [cite_start]Neel is starting this to **level the playing field**—the application process shouldn’t be difficult[cite: 30]. [cite_start]This advice is helpful for applying to **any graduate program or for life**[cite: 29].
📆 [cite_start]The WHEN: Biweekly on your platform of choice! [cite: 25] 🚨 Next Episode Preview! [cite_start]Next week, we'll delve into what your advisor will **absolutely not tell you** about the world of research, and how to become a first-author[cite: 32].
Thank you for tuning in to The Post-Pandemic (Pre) Med. I'm Neel. [cite_start]See you around next time! [cite: 31, 34]
