Competitiveness of Med School vs Pharmacy vs Dental vs PA vs Business vs Law

In my country, dentistry is still 6 years like med skl lol. +3 years if you want to specialise 😢

I think you don't understand equal opportunity vs outcome. You missed the entire point.

In terms of lessons, which is more easier? Dentistry or Nursing?

When I look at the acceptance rate of US medical schools I am shocked. I just graduated from medical school in India and here are two types of schools; private and govt and few are ppp(private public partnership). We have a national eligibility cum entrance test (NEET) to get into govt medical schools where you can study almost for free (200 dollars per year). The year I got into almost 1.5 million students took the exam for less than 30k seats in total. Privates medical colleges are easier to get into as it costs around $200k. So our acceptance rate is kind of crazy and I am from a govt medical school.

Hi, please I would like to know the different options that can make it easy to choose a career between medicine and pharmacy

Getting in and graduating and passing the bar/boards are two different things. I was accepted to a 4th tier law school and flunked out because they had a forced curve and flunked out half the first year class. The school is only concerned with its "class profile" they want to boost their stats. I was there just to pay for somebody else's scholarship. I think many of the for profit medical schools are similar.

Seems like women are dominating careers in the academic route

Do you know the acceptance rate of Indian Med schools (MBBS)??

Are there any courses to get into dental school?

Happy to see pharmacy included.

P4 pharmacy student here, COVID hit the profession in a weird way. Acceptance rates are going up, with some schools dropping the PCAT all together as a requirement. You still have to take pre req's, and pass the classes though.

When I started pharmacy school in 2019, the consensus was that the field was oversaturated, and that it would be cut throat to find a job. However, I know many 2019 grads who found jobs with relative ease. Everyone wants a job that pays alot and is close to their home, but thats not always the easiest thing to find, you probably will have to drive 45 min to work everyday. While pharmacy school is prestigious its not, you finish this grad program and you're guaranteed a job.

At the time of writing this, COVID put us in a weird spot many new grads aren't passing their board exams, there was a lot of "unethical answering" on test days and so when the real one came those students suffered.


I know back in the day, pharmacist got paid more and this and that, and being a pharmacist then seeing what it has become now might discourage you, but its still a great field.

I landed a job at a retail chain thats not cvs, walgreens, or walmart, and am getting paid 60/hour to fill scripts. Yeah filling someones refills on their metoprol succinate isn't the most exciting thing ever. But someone has to do it. And when the MA calls the docs orders in for metoprol succinate TID, someone has to call and make sure that's right. And when a patient comes up and asks why there's 7 different kinds of meds for heartburn when there's only 1 heartburn. I love telling patients the difference, cause having heartburn really sucks

I wanna go to work to get my 60/hr check, take care of patients in ways pharmacists do, and then go home and enjoy the time with my family. I love this field, and the more I do it, the more I'm glad I didn't do something else. Yeah we have bad customers and employers, but thats every field, and not every customer or employer is bad, just a few.

So you want to be a pharmacist video?? :)

1st year in pharmacy and I dunno if I want to keep going anymore. any suggestion for a potential job in the future cuz I need a backup plan?

I'm a big fan of your work , I want to become a PA but my results does not allow me . I failed English in my WASSCE

Dental treatment

Doctors get MBA’s after their medical schools. Everyone gets an MBA after their school. An MBA degree is the terminal degree of all schools.

hi love your channel could you do so you want to be an orthodontist

Please do a “so you want to be a dentist\orthodontist”

I have a query which is better field Pharmacy or BDS?

40% of female MDs stop working after 6 years.. that’s a lot of waisted seats..

Lets be honest .. Business school is a joke. With a few exceptions much of business school is loaded with unnecessary jargon which disguises how intellectually thin it really is. Law School at least has codified law to learn and there's real skills of debate and argumentation which are practiced. Sadly jurisprudence is applied sophistry on many occasions - incompatible with the philosophy of ethics, which is a far more rigorous intellectual discipline. Medicine, pharmacy and veterinary benefit intellectually by being grounded so firmly in the hard sciences.

It's harder to get into a Chick-fil-A franchise than Harvard. Lol

In the swiss-german part of Switzerland, dental, medical and veterinary students must pass the same entrance exam which is called Numerus Clausus. It lasts one whole day and tests your IQ, concentration, stress managment, memory, spatial awareness....you get more and more tired during the test but must still perform well. This is said to simulate the stress of these jobs. In the french part of Switzerland there is no entrance exam but around 80% of the students don't pass the 1st year.

The only metric to derive competitiveness is based on the amount of applicants versus spots available. Very simple formula that this video is trying to boil down even further and makes an ill attempt to conflate difficulty with competitiveness, which are not synonymous. If a specific PA program has only 40 spots available (average class size) and 2,000 applicants (average applicant pool), this would be more competitive than medical school that has an average class size of 140 with the average application pool of 2,240 (1 acceptance per 16 applications ((Average ratio of acceptance)). Now, to only prove a point, anybody can boil down or redefine competitiveness. The process of becoming an accepted MD applicant is more difficult but not more competitive.

GPA and specific tests/scores are not and should not be the principle metric to determine the competitiveness of PA school vs MD school. There are variables that impacts average accepted GPAs and additionally, the MCAT is not an admissions criteria for PA school, all-being the MCAT is more difficult than the GRE, which is more of an argument for MD school admissions being more difficult but again not more competitive by virtue of the numbers above.

One major variable for acceptance for PA school, which is haphazardly mentioned is this video, is that both type and duration of healthcare experience matters significantly . Healthcare experience and duration is often a major determining factor for acceptance into PA school. Being a Navy Corpsman for 5yrs with a below average GPA may look bad on paper for medical school admissions but in the real world and to PA admissions, experience overtakes a high GPA. Average ACCEPTED PA applicant has +2,000 hours of direct patient healthcare experience. This factor contributes partially to only marginally lower GPA's compared to medical schools, who don't emphasize this variable. Medical school admission place a major emphasis on high MCAT, GPA and research to a much smaller extent. PA schools who receive 2,000 applicants can pick 40 individuals with 4.00 GPA's but often won't, not because they are not available but because they lack healthcare experience or the type of experience they are looking for. Additionally, PA schools often have direct entry admissions where a portion of accepted seats are allocated to undergraduate students within the college, contributing to even less accepted applicants for general admission (which is being phased out). There is an argument for the steps to apply to medical school are marginally more DIFFICULT (i.e MCAT), however not more COMPETITIVE in regards to acceptance. Difficulty and competitiveness in this case is not semantics when the variables and the points made in this video are boiled down and over simplified to such an extent to redefine what competitiveness is, to fit the shoe.

What about Occupational therapist my wife makes over 120k year.

Please make a video on exams that can be given after BDS

Love the hetero way of depicting men as thick and strong, and women as thin and weak. So not a power fetish. 😂

I was a first year veterinary student and I’m highly reconsidering this field. It almost feels like people who enter this field want suffering and pain and financial instability

How does matching into fellowship after residency work?

DO matriculant here, 514 and 3.95. Future doctor all the same.

This video gives me hope but I highly doubt it's accurate

It’s important to realize that while the ratio of applicants to matriculants gives you some idea of the process - Competitiveness is not the same as difficulty. There is an extremely large amount of information available on the requirements for admission to medical school. There were large amounts of potential applicants who take the MCAT and never even apply because their score was not close to the required score. Practice tests give you a fairly good idea of where you might score on the MCAT and many people who are unable to get their test score to a level which would be acceptable opt to not take the test at all rather than risk taking it and getting a very poor score. It’s also well know what GPA is required and people with poor GPAs, a poor semester, or even just a poor grade in a required class often self select out of the application process. These entrance exams are also not equivalent and the students taking them are not the same. In other words, getting a 50th percentile on the GRE is not the same as a 50th percentile on the MCAT.

If you don't get into a top 10 law school, you shouldn't go at all. Anything below the top 10-15 law schools is a complete waste of money. That said, honestly, I have effing idea why anyone would want to go into the legal profession today. I could be wrong, but I suspect you're probably better off going to accounting and getting your CPA.

Plz , Anyone can recommend me a country with a high salary to the pharmacists .

PA school is a lot more competitive when you take into account the sheer number of clinical hours matriculants have.

The majority of programs require both direct patient experience (EMT, CNA, Phlebotomy, etc) AND general healthcare experience (patient transport, secretary, telemetry, etc).

You typically need at least 1,000 hours of direct patient experience to even qualify for a program. But to be competitive, it's best to have 2,000+ hours. The majority of all matriculants have roughly 2,600 direct-contact hours and about 700 other healthcare hours.

Just as you said looking at GPA or test scores alone doesn't "paint the full picture," neither does looking at these factors WITHOUT also looking at clinical hours.

CRNA school has a minimum GPA of 3.2 the average GPA is 3.6 and a minimum of 2 years of critical care experience also many schools require the CCRN certification. Please don't throw all advanced practice nurses in the same bucket.

I have no idea why I'm watching your videos considering the fact that i graduated high school with a 1.9 GPA 😂😂 and am a 22 year old truck driver. However your videos are extremely interesting. Keep up the good work!

College + dentistry + speciality

2nd year dental student here and I love it so much! Growing up I had a significant amount of dental work done (orthodontics, root canal, fillings etc.) and I never had much interaction with other medical professionals. The patient relationships, autonomy, lifelong medical education, and less hectic lifestyle lead me to choose a career in dentistry. I look forward to collaborating with all medical professions during my career and improving the health of our patients :)

Dentistry is good

i want to feel something again

Do a “So you want to be a general dentist” video please:)

The hygieia symbol is pharmacy not physician

pharmacy schools need to start shutting down. how horrible to have such high acceptance rates, with no real vetting process, just to eat up tuition money. after all that, you get to join the terrible pharmacy job market.

✋in my country nepal dentistry demand 4.5 yr academic and 1 yrs internship.

The best career at the end of the day: ENGINEERING!!!!😁

3.7gpa at top ten law schools lol. It's about 3.9gpa. 3.7gpa is more top 25
