Biology Admissions Essay

My A-Level choices have equipped me with the adequate skills and basic knowledge that I feel are necessary to study a degree in Biomedical Science. In Psychology, I found Biopsychology most fascinating because we learnt about how the Nervous System works alongside the Endocrine System. Equally, I enjoyed Psychopathology as we learnt about the causes and symptoms of diseases such as OCD, and the drug-based biological treatments for them that target hormones such as serotonin. Studying Mathematics has enabled me to achieve a greater understanding of how to apply statistical tests such as the Spearman’s Rank Correlation, in Biology.

Biology has always intrigued me; that is why I took advanced biology courses every year during high school. I chose cardiology in particular for medical school because cardiac diseases run in both sides of my family. I have seen my grandmothers get pushed into the emergency rooms and I thought they were not going

Courses I have taken that are relevant to my career interests are biology, chemistry, Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, advanced genetics and applied biotechnology, and physiology. Biology and chemistry have provided me with a basic science background that is essential to understanding more advanced science courses. Human Body Systems and physiology have helped me to learn basic anatomy and physiology through hands-on activities like constructing organ systems out of clay and dissecting a cat. In addition, I learned how basic biomedical science knowledge and research methods in Principles of Biomedical Science and continued this

Biology. GCSE Biology helps you get a good understanding of the world of living things, from how a basic cell works to the complex ecosystem we are living in today. Biology is a fun and exciting subject to choose, it is useful in many different ways. Biology can provide a whole range of subjects e.g:

I have found studying A –level Biology very intriguing; it has enhanced my knowledge of key biological processes that allow humans to thrive as a species and given me some insight into relevant topics of Biomedical science such as genetics

My interest in science has been a passion of mine since the start of middle school where I learned to excel and discover new learning opportunities. I choose to major in Biology my junior year, since I have started my undergraduate classes has giving me the pleasure of wanting to pursue a career of working in the medical field.

If someone told me just five years ago when I was in high school that I would be going to one of the best colleges in New Jersey and taking classes in an effort to go to medical school, I would've said they were crazy. In fact, I'm not, nor have I ever been the student with a 4.0 GPA or near perfect standardized test scores. As a future candidate to medical school, I feel that this Research Associates Program will aid in my journey to becoming a doctor, by virtue of working with other people, interacting with patients, gathering data, and understanding how to accurately obtain valuable data.

I am fascinated by the science field. It is constantly changing through new discoveries. I find it very interesting that everything in this field may not be true and can be proven wrong. There is nothing set in stone and through these new discoveries we are able to back up theories and hypotheses or prove them wrong and in turn opening up new areas of study. I also like knowing why things happen and the reasoning behind them. My favorite class right now is General Biology I because I am able to understand the body and why things happen. I am able to make connections about why things happen. We are currently learning about genetics and I am able to see that Down Syndrome also referred to as Trisomy 21. I can connect the two names together because “tri” means 3 resulting in 3 chromosomes of number 21. I loved being able to make connections where the “light bulb” in my head goes off. Another

Biology and Chemistry have helped my further develop my knowledge in the scientific field as well as helping me develop my analytical skills and problem solving skills. Being part of a junior cadet scheme from the ages of 14 to 16 allows me to be more disciplined and motivated to be dedicated to all my academic courses causing me to meet all my deadlines. My subjects linked together and opened my eyes to biomedicine. Biology and Psychology both looked at the anatomy of the human brain as well the chemical reactions and neurotransmitters involved in the human thought process. From my AS Biology course I was able to learn more complex concepts such as blood clotting and how the level of platelets affect blood

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

Biology is the study of life and life is happening everywhere, all around us. I constantly find myself awestruck by the world I live in. The way different components all cohesively come together to function as a single object or being fascinates me, and this is what draws me to the human body. The human body is a complex wonder that even the most intelligent scientists do not fully comprehend so I will major in biology, so I can become a doctor and work with it every day.

Mathematics and several forms of science is involved in the several careers that I want to work in, and the sciences can explain the universe around us; because of that, I am extremely interested in studying life. Also, mathematics is a very logical and precise subject, and I am very dependent upon logic to make good decisions.

Studying Higher Biology and Chemistry have prepared me with a high level of scientific knowledge. The modules that I have already completed have been enjoyable; I am intrigued by the DNA and human genomics section from Biology. This was amusing to study as it covered the application of the polymerase chain reaction and how DNA profiling is carried out. I look forward to taking part in laboratory work especially within a more developed environment.

The field of science and I do not have the lifelong love as many of the other STEM students at this school do. Throughout my entire elementary career, I hated science- mainly due to the topics covered were heavily in the geology department. I can’t say science runs in my family, in fact college doesn’t even run in my family. It wasn’t until my freshman year in high school–I finally was given the opportunity to learn about molecular biology–that science popped up on my radar of interest. I was hooked from my first honors biology class, however was still a bit apprehensive about being a biologist as a future career. Learning about the mechanisms at play in the body was interesting, but I always wanted to go in a more kinesthetic direction. I wanted to know how these systems were at work, and even more, how they could be harnessed to improve efficiency or to arrive at some other targeted mean. Being the hands on person I am, I wasn’t satisfied with just the theoretical ideas being explored, I

Since high school, I was really enjoyed biology. It helps me understand how the body system work and how ones live in a population. At undergraduate level, I have more variety of courses to choose from. That helped me know about different field of science and biology. So far, ecology and developmental biology are easy for me to understand but I’m more interested in cell biology and physiology. Cell biology today as told by my professor has undergo to include interdisciplinary such as biotechnology, chemistry and biology. From my cell biology courses, I learned how to use southern blotting to detect a specific DNA sequence, as well as other techniques that I think
