1. Question 1: We understand you are probably applying to multiple medical schools. Please explain your reasons for applying to the Carver College of Medicine I am applying to the Carver College of Medicine because of its commitment to meeting community needs and advancing medicine through research. Growing up in a rural Midwestern community with hundreds of uninsured residents has helped me to understand the importance of meeting community needs. Until 2010, emergency rooms were the primary source

How have your volunteer experiences influenced your life goals? My volunteer experiences taught me that I value the physician-patient relationship of primary care medicine. Although volunteering in the E.D. showed me the excitement of emergency medicine, I found myself wondering about the follow-up care for the patients. Through other volunteering opportunities, I discovered that people of all ages and mental capabilities, including those with dementia or special needs children can build relationships

Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is a story of a wealthy man named Jay Gatsby chasing the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan. This is a psychoanalytic type B analysis, meaning it will analyze how the author’s life influenced the novel.

It turns out, “James Gatz of North Dakota…his parents where shiftless and unsuccessful fame people…” (Fitzgerald 98), and only attended college for two weeks at St. Olaf in Minnesota. Gatsby’s parents are not dead. He just never accepted them as his parents because of their poverty. Gatsby leave his home, determined to search for a better life.

Both writers clearly underline their characters as being deeply impacted by the egregious event of The Great Depression that occurred post war. In their retrospective texts, they could be seen to be opposing the great social, political, and to an extent, cultural changes during 20s America which was mainly achieved through industrialization and rapid advancements of inventions such as the first ever US radio station. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” is a text reflective of the period in which

most noticeable examples of this false reality is Gatsby's background. Jay Gatsby grew up in North Dakota to a poor family. He lived in poverty all of his life and he decided to drop out of St. Olaf College in Minnesota after a few weeks. He was forced to work as a janitor to pay his tuition for college and he was ashamed of this. In Chapter 4, Gatsby tells Nick, “I’ll tell you God’s truth…I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West—all dead now. I was brought up in America but educated

Poverty have struck many citizens in America, and maybe they can not afford the whopping tuition costs. However, going to college will truly help you in the future because it will stabilize your future, your child’s future, and possibly the generations after you down the road. Going to college means your life will be more secure. If a person continues

Chapter 4 starts off with Nick providing a list of all the guests who attended Gatsby’s parties in the summer and the irony is that none of them actually knew him. When Nick accompanies Gatsby on a trip into the city for lunch, he reveals the truth about his past. Gatsby states that he is from a wealthy family from the Midwest town of San Francisco, he graduated from Oxford, and declared himself a hero in the war. During lunch, Gatsby introduces Nick to his former business partner, Meyer Wolfsheim

During my time in high school and having had success both in the classroom and on the field I had the opportunity to go to a top Liberal Arts College, St. Olaf.
