My choice to have biochemistry as my major was the most logical, because for all of my life I have been interested in what life is composed of. I looked at the incredible things that people and animals do and I found that all the intricate working of biology and chemistry that made all of their actions possible, only added to the awesomeness of it all. Another important factor in my life that started my interest into the science of biology was my mother, who has a genetic anemia called Fanconi Anemia. She has lived with this genetic disease for all of her life and it has had a toll on her quality of life. From my earliest memories she has struggled with blood transfusions and bone marrow biopsies.…
I finished High School and my Associate Degree almost at the same time. Almost immediately I enrolled in the Biology B.A program at St Thomas University. Regrettably, because of my work load I was not able to keep up with the studying, so I decided to change majors into business, although I did finish with a minor in biological sciences. I graduated from St Thomas University, but I was not satisfied. I had always wanted to get into the health field, so I decided to continue my education with a degree in…
I may end up doing information technology or something else once I go through all the strands. Your school offers so many choices that it could cause me to do or attempt other things outside of what I like. Human services would be one. I always have hated science and biology. I never really have been interested in health.…
I really love history and social issues. I like this subject so much because it’s relevant to what is happening now in our country and around the world. I don’t know yet if I want to major in these topics, but they are something I'm interested in. I have always loved school even though I have struggled in school. I’m learning to persevere.…
I have chosen to work towards a degree in dental surgery because of my interest in the sciences, medicine, and in research. My interest for undergraduate research has increased significantly since attending Hendrix College and my experiences thus far has made me a very well rounded student allowing me to study what I love, participate in athletics, and many other service organizations that Hendrix offers. Initially, I intended on majoring in Health Sciences, but decided against that as I realized that I was completely enthralled with chemistry and noted our outstanding chemistry department. This led me to my decision to pursue a Biological Chemistry/Molecular Biology degree to help me in my pursuit of dental school. Hendrix is providing…
You never know how much you want something until it's almost taken away from you. During my CA-1 year I was involved in an incident where there was a mishandling of narcotics. My residency was on the line, and even after I was cleared of all wrongdoing, I still felt like I had something to prove. I had to show this program and myself that I belonged. Unfortunately, I've been in this situation before, as the underdog, time and time again.…
My future education and career plans include going into a science or medical field. I specifically want to go into the biochemistry or genetics fields. These two subjects really intrigue me because of what I have learned in science class at my middle school and here…
I plan to major in engineering or mathematics, because I have always been drawn towards a STEM career. I plan to create a string of connections that will aid me later in life, and plan to start my career as soon as possible. Hopefully college will become the best experience in my young adult life, and help humble and shape my future for the better. I plan for college to allow time to explore the culture of the world and understand a multitude of question that I can now not comprehend. Despite the fear of graduation, I know this next step in my life will help me reach my academic goals and life ambitions.…
Introduction Science and biology have always been my favorite subjects throughout school. I always knew that I wanted to go into the medical field, but I was unsure of what exactly I wanted to do. However, when I took microbiology in high school my teacher inspired me to work in labs. I then took a course called Clinical Health Science, which pointed me in the direction of becoming a medical laboratory technician. Qualifications…
I am a 21-year-old graduating senior, majoring in General Science. I chose to change my major from Biological Sciences to General Science because it better suited the time frame of when I wanted to graduate. Upon graduation, I plan to pursue a graduate degree in a field other than Geology. Then, I plan to further my education and pursue a degree in the Master of Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapy school requires a lot of biology courses, which explains why I chose Biological Sciences as my major primarily.…
I love Bucknell University because I've been wanting to go there since I was in 10th grade. I remember looking through the "100 Best Colleges in the World" when I found Bucknell University. Every description, under each heading I read, it made me love it more. The reason why I'm interested in my first-choice major is because I admire the Biology department.…
However, it was not until attending my current college that I realized just how important a neuroscience major is to me. There are many majors that one can be in order to successfully prepare for medical school. I strongly…
I intend to get a career with science being a huge focus in that career and also a career that isn't predictable and simple, I want a career that I can enjoy doing and know that my hard work is what led me to have the future career that I wanted in the medical field, specializing in urgent care. My future career plans relate to this major because to get into any medical school or to become a doctor a person must understand the biology of the human body and the ways to treat it. My career plans related to my biology major are to use this major and other science and math classes to be able to do well on my MCAT and get into medical school. While in medical school I hope to be able to learn even more about biology and chemistry and be able to apply it to my career. After medical school I want to be able to attend an emergency care residency which will help get me ready and get comfortable with a career in urgent care.…
Because I will have already taken the maximum amount of classes offered for a biology pre-med major by the fall of 2017, I wish to continue my studies elsewhere. UIC would best suit me in the path to success because of its strong pre-medical program. I strongly believe UIC will provide opportunities for a great undergraduate experience while academically preparing me for its graduate school. Consequently, UIC is the premium choice for me to pursue my bachelor’s in biology not only providing me with the resources to become a successful person career-wise, and also as a well-rounded…
Motherland I was born in a town near my residence and it's called Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. Although this place is my home, I am nothing but a foreigner to my home. I left at an early age in the arms of a strange man who helped my family get to the United States. Therefore, there was nothing for me to remember, to cherish, or to miss about my home.…
