Landon Morikawa has done his fair share of traveling as he completed a B.S. in Cellular & Molecular Biology with a minor in Finance at Seattle University, excelled in a post-baccalaureate program in Chicago, and conducted research back home in Hawaiʻi. We discussed how an “uncompetitive” 3.6 GPA did not stop Landon from making it into medical school– experiences, determination, and embracing the grind matter too. In this episode, we share helpful tips on finding research opportunities, navigating possible post-baccalaureate programs, and staying true to yourself when applying to medical school.
