The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Tier List Takedown
Rapidly ranking a series of related items on a visual tier list (S to F) to deliver opinionated, often controversial judgments that establish authority and spark debate.
The S-Tier Benchmark
The first item is given the highest possible rank, establishing the creator's standards and validating a popular, high-effort choice.
The F-Tier Controversy
The second item is given the lowest possible rank, introducing a contrarian viewpoint to spark debate and signal unique expertise.
The B-Tier Qualifier
An item is ranked as 'good but not great,' demonstrating nuance and providing a practical, balanced assessment that builds credibility.
The C-Tier Baseline
A common, almost mandatory item is ranked as 'necessary but unimpressive,' managing audience expectations and providing insider context.
The D-Tier Dismissal
A popular but low-impact item is dismissed, acting as a filter to help the audience focus on what truly matters.
The S-Tier Reinforcement
A second item is given the highest rank, reinforcing the creator's high standards and offering another top-tier example for the audience to aspire to.
The Final B-Tier Contextualization
The last ranked item is given a 'good' rating, contextualizing its value relative to the S-tier options and providing a final piece of balanced advice.

Pre-med Club President
EMT Certification. S tier. This is probably the best thing you can do as a pre med. It's difficult to do, takes a real commitment, and also showcases, hey, that I have a real interest. Overseas medical mission trip. F tier. These mission trips look like voluntourism. I really would recommend not doing them unless they're connected to a faith based group that you have a deep connection to. ER scribing. B tier, this is good exposure and showcase interest, but it's not active. It doesn't showcase that you're creating something, so it's good, but not great. Physician shadowing. Tier, this is necessary better pretty much everyone who's serious as a pre med candidate has it, so I wouldn't say it's particularly special. It's something you do need to do, but try to do more than forty hours if you're gonna make it a meaningful part of your application. HOSA. D tier, this is such a run of the mill club for pre med. I really don't think it's very standout ish and rank, unless you're the president, it's something I wouldn't even include in your application. Publish medical research. S tier published medical research is probably the best thing you rank do, particularly if it's with a local lab or if you want a competition like ISEF. I highly recommend doing research as a high school student if you're pre med. Pre med club president. B tier, it's good to show leadership and that's a little bit rare among pre med students, but it's just not that difficult to do. I wouldn't put it as high as winning a competition or publishing research in terms of types of activities. If you want the full list of things to do as a pre med student, comment medical and I'll send you the full list.
