You have been selected to participate in the Harvard Medical School Medscience Summer Program.” It felt like a dream to me as I rushed down the stairs to tell my parents. The application was a shot in the dark, I desperately wanted to be accepted to the program, but I never imagined I would be one of the applicants out of thousands from across the country to be chosen. I took the…

If I chose to be a vet instead of just going to medical school the feeder would go to Texas A&M or Tuskegee whichever university I think would be the best for me. What extracurricular activity in school are you most passionate about and why? The activity that I like the most at school would be playing in volleyball class.

work and what is the science and math behind it. By attending the School of Science and Math, I will gain the knowledge of research and laboratory sciences.

I would like to challenge myself more because I want to see how…

dream. I had a dream that my hard work in school was validated, and I got the letter telling me I’d been accepted into medical school. Later that day, I came to the realization of the relevancy of the dream; and I asked myself how my life would change if I knew at this moment that I’d make it to medical school. How would my life change if I knew I’d successfully get through all of these grueling advanced math and science classes? Going into high school, I had the impression that I would be able…

Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School: quite the mouthful and quite the reason to fall from the lips with full emphasis on each word.

Isla’s Journey to Medical School Throughout your childhood, you were most likely told that when you grow up, you have to be a doctor or anything that entails a high salary. As a child, you don’t really take this advice seriously since the future, in your mind, seems like centuries away. That is, until you enter your senior year of high school and suddenly memories of your parents nagging you to become a doctor resurface. At this point, you generally would either trudge along with your…

very young age, which has since developed into a strong desire to be in a medical field to reduce the suffering. Two questions formed in my young mind: what is inside the human body, and how does disease develop? These same questions fostered my journey in medical school as I explored the pathophysiological processes behind disease development, leading me to pursue medicine. My decision to go abroad for medical school is what allowed my inner qualities of relentless desire, obdurate…

apply to medical school and so the context of this report is from that perspective. In other words, categories such as the MCAT, diversity, and debt are given focus, as I’ve had to consider those topics deeply at the current stage of my life.
