Biomedical Engineering Personal Statement

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.

It is my hope to eventually become a prosperous biomedical engineer. Even within biomedical engineering there are many distinct fields, and I am most interested in rehabilitation biomedical engineering. I would like to be somewhere where I can help those with disabilities to become proficient in anything they aspire to do; Additionally, I would like to be a part of the design process, although I have an interest in research as well.

Although science has been my favorite subject in school for as long as I can remember, my passion for medicine started in fourth grade, after I spent three weeks in the hospital. The doctors and nurses were so good at explaining what was going on inside my body, and I learned so much about medicine and myself. It really improved my healing process knowing what was happening and how I could make myself feel better. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted a career helping others feel the same way. So, I met with my father’s friend, who was an anesthesiologist, to discuss all the options that are available in the medical field. After he listened to some of my interests and dreams for my future, he said that he thought

For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. These interests were most likely brought to life from my desire to want to help people and learn more about the human body. The experiences I’ve had throughout my life have brought me closer to the belief that I can one day make a difference in the world through medicine. All though I am not completely decided on what I would like my future career to be, I have been able to narrow my options down to a few of the many choices available.

I have always had an interest in medicine. From my earliest memories, I have pretended to be a doctor and care for my pets and stuffed animals. My parents supported my naïve interest by buying simple medical equipment for me, and at times, being my “patient” as well. I began to think seriously about my medical future in high school. I researched healthcare job descriptions and requirements, and also took the time to set up interviews with many different people in the medical field.

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing”- Pelé. When I think about my future, quite frankly, I’m not sure where I’ll end up. I truly believe my future will depend on my personal happiness no matter what career I end up in. However, that’s not how life goes. In a career, it’s not all flowers and daisies; you sacrifice, you endure, you persevere, and sometimes, you suffer but in the end you are rewarded with a life only dreamed by some. I’m not looking at the medical field for money, I’m looking at it for how it fits to my characteristics. The medical field is a group of people willing to suffer, sacrifice, and endure for the well-being

Myar Dandash Personal Statement Volunteerism and the passion of science reflect my interests in biomedical science. My interest in Medicine began in high school where I studied biology and chemistry classes that focus on many topics. I intended to continue studying biology in college as an undergraduate student. Everything I learned from these subjects brought my attention to continue studying biology in a detailed way. Applying to the biomedical science program at Rutgers University because it combines both concepts I like to study the most, which are science and the application of science in medicine and other health-related fields.

I admit that I haven't always been interested in entering the medical field. It seemed like a “blood and guts” job to me, and thats not exactly something that Ive always felt comfortable with. I must have changed my mind what seemed like a million times about my future. I went from wanting to be a marine biologist, to wanting to be an art teacher and then later not having even the slightest idea what I wanted to be at all. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school, that an unexpected accident led to my final decision to pursue a health related career.

The most progressive discoveries of all time have two elements in common: a component of critical thinking and a component of creativity. It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music.

The field of biomedical research has always fascinated me. I am most interested in your Department of Biotechnology. The almost-limitless advances in the field have opened up new and exciting opportunities, opportunities that I wish to participate in. Nowadays one has to have the perfect combination of theory and practical knowledge. Biomedical research is one of the most important scientific fields today and is beneficial not only to the individual, but to society as well.

I have always had a love for building and creating. My parents have instilled in me that hard work is how you get to your goals. I hope to attend Clemson University in the fall. I want to obtain a masters in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering with either a focus in testing and or robotic prosthesis. I have worked vigorously my whole high school career to set myself up for success no matter what path I decide to take.

The medical field has sparked an interest in my love for science, pretty much since I began my academic career. The constant advancements and the touching stories of individuals that have undergone life changing circumstances, have inspired me to pursue a career as a nurse and then continue my education to later become a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

I have had an interest in engineering since middle school. During my years at Transmountain Early College High School, I have done research on the many branches of engineering including biomedical engineering. It was through the Department of Homeland Security Internship that my interest in biomedical engineering bloomed. Because the internship was so interesting and because I acquired so much knowledge, I decided that I would look deeper into biomedical engineering. I discovered that biomedical engineering is a great field that I would like to pursue because I am interested in doing research to design new and improved systems and products such as machines for diagnosing medical problems, and to better the efficiency, and effectiveness of biomedical

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
