Biomedical Personal Statement

One invaluable experience that I’ve gained over the years was my participation in the Engineering Scholars Program at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). This program allowed high school students, like myself, to take one engineering-related college course over the summer during an accelerated three-week time frame. The course that I chose to take was called Biomedical Engineering, and it changed my fundamental interests and perspectives forever.

C. Identify all verbs and specific terms from the assignment instructions and describe how each Learning Pattern will be used to effectively complete the Week 5 assignment.

UChicago’s pre-health programs—such as Clinical Excellence Scholars, internships, and health profession treks—would give me the opportunity to develop clinical skills, while research positions and programs like UChicago Careers in STEM would prepare me to be a researcher.

I want to apply the methodical approach that I take with my video games to a real world setting, particularly in a clinical setting. I am currently on my last semester at Fayetteville Technical Community College and I will

My internship at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has truly impacted and influenced me. It took persistence and diligence to be accepted into this program, and courage to present my own stem cell research project to a scientific panel. However, I am thankful for the opportunity to contribute to my scientific community, especially researching an essential tool such as stem cells, which can be used in cancer research. Through my small scale project studying the effects of different media on cell growth, i was able provide a small development to our knowledge for future treatments and solutions. Since this opportunity was my first big exposure to authentic scientific research, I plan continue this program to further elaborate my project.

I desire to attend medical school because I want to assist those experiencing adversity regain a sense of control over their lives. At a young age I found that understanding and positivity made the hard times more endurable. As a child of a single parent, my mother asked my grandfather to relocate to Florida to tend to me while she worked. I had grown quite close to my grandfather by the time he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Witnessing him struggle with his illness made me feel powerless thinking that as a nine-year old I could not do anything because I could not cure him.

The decision to apply for a master’s program at the esteemed, Case Western Reserve University comes from a great passion to pursue research and personally contribute to the field of Biomedical Engineering. With the field’s innovative approach to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine, it has given answers to many of the pressing problems of healthcare system; nevertheless there are many challenges yet to overcome. For someone who has an avid desire to enrich her knowledge on advances in medical technology and do something resourceful for society, Biomedical engineering fits well to my ambition. Being an interdisciplinary field, Biomedical Engineering offers an endless array of choices. However, the areas that I find most intriguing are Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials and Drug Delivery Systems.

Being part of a robotics team for three years has introduced me into some aspects of engineering. I have had the opportunity to build a relationship with one engineering professor from the Univeristy of Brown and a mentors who aided me and my team with the designing, building and programing of the robot. I was able to learn a lot of new and interesting things from the mentors. The mentors were both females who were pursuing a master's degree in biomedical engineering. They informed about the variety of ways one can do to help others when they get a biomedical engineering degree.

I was born and raised in India, a country that is a melting pot of different cultures, traditions, and festivals. As far as I know, all of my ancestors thrived in and prided themselves on the rich culture. However, I acknowledge that many problems exist in my country, including sexism. Girls are seen as a burden and thus not provided the education that they deserve. Although, my parents never saw me as a burden and provided me with the same opportunities as my brother.

Attending Robert Morris and pursuing a degree would require me to not only build upon the skills that I have already acquired, but to develop new skills as well. I am interested in pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering, because I want to be able to create things that will positively impact the lives of people who need help the most. This degree would require me to be able to put the needs of others before myself, to be humble to accept the ideas of others, and to have the ability to act proactively towards the future, rather than completely focusing on what is presently occurring. When I first entered high school, I wanted to enter a majority of the clubs to gain new friends and see what interested me. I saw extracurricular activities

As a senior in highschool, looking to the future is nerve racking. The past four years of high school have been full of amazing experiences and people who have helped me succeed and find my passions. During my years at Davenport West High, I have maintained a 4.0 grade average, participated in soccer, National Honors Society, Junior Rotarian, FTC Robotics, and taken a large classload. All the hard work I have put into my schooling has prepared me for college.

Undoubtedly cutting-edge science is not limited to what is mentioned above. The master of science in bioengineering program in EPFL can help me link science to application and prepare me for my dream job. The most attractive parts in this program to me are scientific project design and industrial internship. Cancer has become a rising threat to humans as life expectancy continues to extend worldwide. Nonetheless, treatment can be painful and may lead to secondary injury, bacterial infection after catheter implantation for example.

The potential to achieve 3 or more A levels at grade B or above. Also I have gained 11 A* to C GCSE 6 of which were A*-A including maths English and chemistry from a school which achieved well below the national average attainment 8 score. Furthermore I come from a household with a gross annual income of £25,000 or below and receive 16-19 bursary funding. I live in a geographical area with low levels of progression onto higher education. I am the first generation of immediate family to apply to higher education.

Hospitals have many experiences that an undergraduate may have access to. There are opportunities such as shadowing a doctor. Shadowing a doctor is basically watching the doctor as he or she works within their work field. Viewing a doctor in their workspace is very eventful. One might see the specialty they desire within the medical field as well.

My uncle was the first person who introduced me to science, at the age of ten and made me realize how fascinating and exciting science could be. My interest in science has increased over the years through my academic studies, particularly in Biology. I was intrigued by how the human body works, how they are affected by diseases and special techniques and medicines used to cure or prevent diseases. This has led me to pursue Biomedical science at university. Having visited an exhibition in London gave me an opportunity to meet students from various universities and discuss research areas they were involved in.
