One of my first memories, and definitely my first medical memory, occurred when I was three. I remember going into the doctor with my mom to have my moles looked at. As a three year old, my understanding of dermatology was zero. Well, as we went to the doctor for the first time that I remember, I recall the doctor turning my leg to the side and looking at my ankle. The next thing I knew she said that this mole on my ankle was abnormally shaped. I thought that was cool, but clearly it was a concerning experience. The thought of potentially having skin cancer at this age even stuns me to this day. The mole was surgically removed, and the next thing I remember is waking up in a boot. Looking back on this experience, I am extremely lucky that they …show more content…
Extenuating circumstances during my first year of college significantly influenced my GPA, and taking the MCAT before having prerequisites completed did not help either, but I finished with an upward grade trend. The stress of financial management while in school was quite overwhelming at first, but eventually I was able to counter this by working part time and during the summers. Now that I was able to work throughout this last year and save up funds for school, the financial burden is no longer as detrimental. As an applicant, it has been overtly challenging for me to afford the cost to apply and go to interviews. Having a past due balance at my undergraduate institution put me in a bind with my application this past cycle, and this time I have chosen to take out a loan to cover the balance, so that I can put myself in the best possible position this time around. If you are wondering why I am applying, the answer is simple. The opportunity to study medicine in Texas is too good to pass up.
As a Montana resident, I have felt at a disadvantage while applying to schools because Montana does not have a medical school. Not having the luxury, or safety net, of an in-state school has made the cycle more strenuous. However, this opportunity has let me explore more great universities that I want to apply to, and so I have picked Texas schools because I have decided that it would be an excellent opportunity to study there and earn my
In 2013, UT Southwestern was ranked 31 in the US News Primary Care Ranking, so it is only fair to expect a rigorous and competitive admissions process. The UT Southwestern application timeline is as follows: The time from January-May is recommended for taking the MCAT; Primary and Secondary applications must be submitted as soon as possible after June 1st; in August the interview season begins; October 1st is the deadline for all applications submitted through TMDSAS (the Texas Application Service); Rolling admissions begin November 15th, in Late Winter/Early Spring decisions for medical schools must be finalized; by May 15th all offers should be resolved; and finally by June 1st no more offers will be given by medical schools. The admitted overall GPA range is 3.6 to 4.0 and the overall admitted Sciences GPA range is 3.54 to 4.0. The median incoming GPA range is 3.88. The median MCAT score is 35 out of 45 points. Last year, there were 4023 applicants, 834 of them were granted interviews (21%), and 230 were accepted
When my interest and desire to become a physician went underway during my Junior year of undergrad, I had the desire to attend a medical school that I would fit into well, obtain a great medical education, and enjoy the years that I would spend at the school. I wanted to find a school that I could use my diverse skills to improve not only the student body and community, but also my life by being at a school with a similar vision as I have for myself. When researching universities that would fit this mold I came across Morehouse School of Medicine. After researching the school's mission and goals, I felt that I fit into the mold of a diverse individual looking for a nurturing environment where I could gain an effective medical education. The
I write with an update on Ms. Walker, whom I saw at Bentley Memory clinic as an outpatient for a follow up review.

Over the past three years I have managed to maintain a solid 3.46 grade point average (GPA) over the past 6 semesters, not including two summer semesters as well. I kept this GPA while working, at some points, 2 jobs and while taking classes and working full time every summer. I’ve worked hard to maintain this GPA while putting myself through school because I want to be not only the first person in my family to earn a Bachelor’s degree, but also the first person in my family to earn a Master’s.
Graduating high school, I was decided as a Family Studies major with a track to Child Life at Towson University. Towson is an out of state school, meaning I pay a high rate for tuition as a student. I have had to take out many loans due to the hard times my family has had to endure. In today’s economy, no family has not felt the burden of the market crash and high rate of unemployment. My father’s business went into debt, and by my senior year of high school he was officially unemployed. This caused stress in the family, but my parents have both worked extremely hard to be able to take loans out for my college education, being so important to them.
Thomas Aquinas was born around 1227 in the Italian town of Roccasecca. His father, Landulph, who was the count of the commune of Aquino, put Thomas under the care of the Benedictines of Monte Cassino at the age of five. There he was noted as a quick learner, as he surpassed his peers in learning and the practice of virtue. When he was of age, Thomas chose to enter the Order of Saint Dominic, and went to study in Cologne, under St. Albert the Great. At the age of twenty-five, he became a priest and was appointed to teach in Cologne, while at the same time he began to publish his first works. After four years there, he was sent to Paris where he befriended the King, St. Louis, and at the age of thirty-one, he received his doctorate. He left the
As I have grown and worked extensively throughout my years in school, I have refused to allow financial struggles hold back my education. Being raised by a hardworking single mother, I was encouraged from childhood to believe that monetary adversities should not be given the power to mask a person's dreams. Rather, these adversities should challenge them to excel. Therefore, by constantly keeping my goals in the back of my mind, I have been able to maintain a 3.9 GPA. I know that with discipline and a drive to learn, my intent to become a successful dentist will not be bound by a dollar sign.
For my senior project I am volunteering at Sunset Estates, a memory care facility in Ontario, Oregon, and planning an Adopt a Grandparent day for the residents there. Through this project I’m hoping to gain experience in caring for Alzheimer's and Dementia patients while exploring the idea of becoming a nurse in memory care. There are no big goals in this project other than to make a residents day a little brighter by volunteering my time and organizing a fun day for them.

I am worried that my transcripts displayed weakness as a student because of my questionable GPA from freshman and sophomore year. Without making excuses for myself, I want to impress upon you the number of personal difficulties I faced during that time, including – but not limited to – several hospitalizations. After my sophomore year, I transferred
I have had a few life circumstances that have affected my GPA that is not on my record. When I first started school, I was too immature. I had gotten through high school without studying, and figured I was going to do the same as before. Not understand how important college was to the rest of your life put me in a great hole. I simply took college for granted. After my suspension, I grew up and realized I need to be as serious as I can be. Wanting to be in healthcare, there is no room for selfishness. The first few semesters back from suspension I was working to get into nursing school. I decided not at the last minute. It just did not feel like a good fit for me, and I switched to working towards a general biology degree while
Since the ancient times, humans have questioned the meaning of life, happiness, and truth, but only the most famous and influential of philosophers have been able to stand the test of time. Philosophy, the exploration and study of knowledge, existence, and reality through observation and reasoning, has inspired many throughout history. Aristotle and Plato are two of the most well known philosophers from the ancient times because of their groundbreaking ideas, theories, and methods. While there are many similarities and differences between them, Aristotle was by far the most influential philosopher.
Sarah Caldwell once said, “Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can, there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.” West Texas A&M, senior institution of higher learning in state is ranked 35 in Top Public Schools so it’ll be easier to earn a degree in the medical field.
