KCL Personal Statement

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.

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

I have been given more confidence, better public speaking skills, but most importantly I learned to

The HLLC community not only provides students with accommodations of residential living but it rewards students with the opportunity to enhance their leadership capabilities and teamwork talents. By being a member of the HLLC community I will be guided as student but shaped into a student leader. I will be able to learn about the right ways of approaching and bringing awareness to social issues, An example in which would be my passion to increase cleanliness and education around the globe. I once saw a documentary entitle “On my way to school”, it featured 6 children and their daily difficulties. They lived in an areas filled with filth, but were happy and thankful to at least have a roof over their heads. These kids would also have to

Doral is a relatively young city with large parks and an even larger Venezuelan population. Growing up here, I was always comfortable because of the sense of community among Hispanics; it allowed me to flourish since I never felt discriminated or discouraged due to our status as a minority. We all share the feeling of being looked down upon as a group in America, so we all feel pride when one of us succeeds. This upbringing allowed me to pursue anything I desired and encouraged me to do well in it. Even more influential in my life was my older brother, Alejandro. Together, we watched movies, played video games, and read books and comics. It was from my brother that I learned my love for entertainment and stories and it’s a love we continue

I feel like I have had a better understanding of how people really think. I liked being able to go through each assignment and relate them to my own personal life. I have also learned how to manage my time much

Going to college will be a massive step in my life, even graduating from high school. First off, I plan to major in Accounting and become a Public Certified Accountant. I have been told that it will be hard, just going to class will not cut it. You have to be on top of schoolwork making sure you have it turned in on time and more. I chose K-State University because I could see my future there on campus getting through it all. I thought K-State had the best Business program and so much more. Looking at other colleges wasn’t a bad choice but I couldn’t see myself on their campus as much as I did with K-State. Second, I want to get involved in groups that would be good for me. I do not know all the kinds of groups are on campus but I’m sure I will find out. I hope to start off with

I am planning to travel, apply for lab internships and gain some beneficial work experience before starting this course. When travelling my aim is to experience eastern culture, explore new countries and gain more independence. I have a genuine interest for this course and would love to deepen my knowledge and gain some invaluable skills from my time at

The Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at the New School stands out to me over other liberal arts colleges due to its unique classroom dynamic as well as strong focus on academic freedom and social justice. I am excited that The New School gives students the ability to personalize their major and pick classes appropriate to their interests. I value this academic freedom since it will allow me to explore and expand my interests as well as enlighten me in fields I am unfamiliar with. Lang’s focus on intellectual freedom will allow me to expand on prior knowledge, but also allow me to branch out and take more academic risks. Lang encourages this risk-taking by giving students control of shaping their own major. With this ability I will be able to learn from risks I take and find new values to my education, and

Ever since I was little, I was raised to overcome simple cold without taking any medicine. The only medicine that was provided to me was orange juice. It seemed very peculiar then. My parents would tell me, “Let your body do its own job.” After many years of studying biology, anatomy, and toxicology, I am continually fascinated by what our bodies are capable of. I realized our bodies are stronger and smarter than we know; this has led me to apply for osteopathic medical education.

As this is the last day of my internship, I’d like to express my gratitude to you for a wonderful summer. I have learned a lot and gained a priceless experience thanks to the great and brilliant people I have met and interacted with during my ten weeks at the firm. I am really thankful for all the insightful and engaging conversations I have had throughout the summer and would love to pick up on those in the future.

During my high school years, genetics caught my interest. In genetics, we determined how genes can be passed from parents to offspring and how mutations on specific chromosomes can cause long lasting

I have also improved on how I interact with people from different backgrounds and origins as well as individuals with different personalities. I

Upon entering medical school, I developed a strong interest in basic sciences, especially biochemistry and molecular biology. After my medical training, I joined the Ph.D. program at the University of Houston to pursue my interest in molecular biology.
