Furthermore, Ohio State’s unparalleled medical resources will enable me to unite my theoretical knowledge with my practical experience so that I will enter the medical research field with passion, insight, and a thirst for the
After spending almost four years at Temple University as an undergraduate, the idea of continuing my education at Temple University School of Medicine more than intrigues me. Throughout my undergraduate career at Temple, I have made the effort to get involved in the Temple community and have enjoyed the connections and relationships that I have created with Temple faculty, staff, and students. Beginning in my freshman year as an executive board member of the 1300 Residence Hall Senate and continuing with my current involvement in AMSA and employment in the Office of Pre-Professional Health Studies, I have interacted with various members of the Temple administration and found that each of them are willing to go out of their way to help me and continue to challenge me to accomplish the goals that I have set for myself. In addition, other students at Temple have enhanced my learning experience through group study as well as opened my eyes to a variety of diverse cultures and points of view. As a result of these encounters, I believe that remaining the Temple family will be beneficial in my medical education.
My interest in medicine had started out with an enjoyment of science. From general biology to advanced cellular/behavioral neuroscience, the study of the biological systems, especially the most complex of them all, the human body, has been a delightful journey with new discoveries in each new class.
The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know. This didn’t upset me; it made me curious. Because, of all the things that we should know about, surely our own minds and our own bodies are paramount among them, and yet we still have so much to learn. I’ve since learned that this phenomenon is not restricted to the biological – gravity is one of the most important things in our lives, yet we do not know its cause. But the biomedical questions continue to fascinate me, perhaps because the answers are so vital. Sure, cosmology is intriguing, but what about a cure for cancer, or even the common cold? What about a way of repairing or bypass...
I want to be a physician because I want to help others through healthcare. I have always wanted to accomplish this through personally interacting with patients and providing them with the treatment they need. I realized early in life that I wanted to be an integral part of a patient’s recovery process. Over the course of my undergraduate studies, I also became increasingly convinced that I wanted to participate in biomedical engineering research. I realized that research could potentially allow me to help people on a much larger scale. I would not be confined to only those patients I interact with- many others would benefit if I produced something of value. The MD program at GW presents me with a caring, supportive community that encourages
As I wait for a decision to be made regarding my status, I am constantly reminded of my pleasant interview experience at the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. It is my pleasure to speak fondly of such an outstanding innovative institution, when my peers ask for updates in my life. Your school is my top choice for a number of reasons, especially due to the commitment of serving our community. The fact that this program not only talks about serving, but has taken measures which have proven beneficial, is admirable. I believe the current curriculum and vision of your school can make me the best physician I can be.
The complexity of the human body is what I find most interesting, especially the immune system and the impacts it has on our daily lives when dealing with cancer and genetic disorders and I want to have a better understanding of the common illnesses around us. My desire to study Biomedical Sciences is supported by the experience I have gained at A-level. I have an in depth understanding of the human body's ability to fight diseases. I have gained laboratory skills and enhanced my analytical thinking techniques, interlinking various points to produce the most suitable response to a hypothesis, vital for a role in Biomedicine. My mathematical prowess has given me new ways to deal with a given problem.
For many of us there comes a time in our lives that we are affected by the deterioration of health, at this point we require the help of medical professions. Behind the knowledge and understanding we have now, coming from the vast extent of scientific research, healthcare professionals are able to diagnose, treat and prevent many illnesses. I would like to be a part of this and I believe that university will provide me with the opportunity, to expand my knowledge of biological sciences to eventually enable me to pursue a riveting career applying biological studies to practical applications. Throughout my schooling, Biology has grabbed my attention by the seemingly effortless way the body functions. Studying A Level Biology has greatly enhanced my understanding of human anatomy and physiology.
In high school, I was attracted to the laboratory Sciences, Mathematics, and Computer Science. There are exciting developments in the intersection of these fields that will define medical practice in the future, for instance, bio-informatics, 3D printing of organs, or wearable monitoring devices. I plan to specialize in these disciplines in my undergraduate curriculum through the academic concentration in Computational Biology or Biochemistry & Molecular Biology in the junior and senior years.
My desire is to merge my passion for helping others and love of problem solving with medicine to ultimately become a Pathologist.

Education has always been important to me and at the risk of sounding too cliché, learning is simply something I have always enjoyed. As the first member of my mother’s side of the family to graduate from university I am always appreciative to have had to motivation and the means to continue my education. My love of learning new things would follow me throughout grade school and I was always interested in taking whatever new classes were offered, however, biology caught my interest in sixth grade and has yet to let go. In science class, as it was just called ‘science’ class in sixth grade, I was asked to create a basic model of the animal cell.
Receiving my PhD in molecular biology was immensely gratifying. Yet, even when I was basking in the glory of my freshly minted degree, I could feel that something was amiss. Devoting seven years to dissect a complex relationship between certain proteins and blood vessel formation did not seem to bring about the constructive social changes I had envisioned. My desire to become a biologist was rooted in my fascination with - Life. From an early age, I started believing that being a part of a species with consciousness, I have the responsibility to learn, care for, and preserve life in any form. For me, science was the best tool to improve the lives of everyone. Unfortunately, my research, though academically intriguing, had only tangential impact
In the College of Arts and Sciences, as a biology major following in the pre-medicine track, I will be allowed to research on infectious diseases by using the latest genomic tools in the Genomics Core Facility while taking classes that contain comprehensive analyses of the major fields in biology. To further my interest in biology, I will join the Biological Society of NYU in order to venture out into the world to experience biology in a different setting other than the classroom. As I have partaken in Red Cross in which has allowed me to bring awareness to different diseases, I will be able to continue this activity in Heart to Heart to raise alertness to the risks of high blood pressure and Emergency Health Education to instruct emergency procedures regarding to health since I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. In the Tandon School of Engineering, as I major in the Science and Technology Studies program, I will be able to still participate on the pre-medicine track while working closely with biomolecular interaction in state-of-the-art laboratories such as in the Applied Dynamics and Optimization Laboratory. The endless amount of programs and resources provided by NYU will aid me to forge hundreds of roads within one field and delve into all the opportunities to attain my
Up until my freshman year of high school, when I studied biology, I’ve never found anything appealing about science. During my elementary and middle school years, I learned a bit of chemistry along with physics, biology, and earth science. Early on this school year, I realized that the problem was not the subject of science itself, but rather, the manner in which I had learned it. My science classes had rarely involved hands-on labs or written reports, and the classes were filled only with lifeless text straight from the textbook. I found it convenient to simply memorize my notes and regurgitate the information presented back onto each test; consequently, I couldn’t see how science had any application to real life, and I thought science was
