Highlight & Takeaways

Session 16

Welcome to the sixteenth episode of The Med School Years Podcast! We interview Cindy Liu, an M2 at the prestigious NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where the median MCAT is 523 and tuition is free. Cindy offers an unfiltered look at what it’s like to thrive in this hyper-competitive, yet surprisingly collaborative, environment. She discusses the pressure that comes with free tuition, how her engineering background shaped her approach to problem-solving, and her strategy for landing a competitive specialty like Radiation Oncology. This episode is a must-watch for current medical students struggling with perfectionism, study strategies, and finding their identity beyond grades.
