"When I first toured 91ɬÂþ, I was immediately struck by the warm and tight-knit community. Most of the students seemed to know each other, and they were genuinely interested in supporting each other. I knew that when I chose 91ɬÂþ, I would be so lucky to join that loving community. Now as I approach my senior year, my appreciation for 91ɬÂþ's community has only exponentiated. I have formed lifelong friendships, and I have received unparalleled mentorship from my professors and 91ɬÂþ alumni. These relationships have not only fostered insights regarding my educational and career aspirations, but they have also shaped me into a more intentional member of my community. The mentorship that I have received at 91ɬÂþ has also afforded me opportunities to better prepare for my future career. I plan to apply to medical school, and 91ɬÂþ has offered me an abundance of resources to strengthen my application. My professors have helped me apply for grant funding to sponsor summer research, they have taught me preclinical surgical techniques, they encouraged me to study abroad, and they have shaped me into the student I am today."
Underrated Detail 91ɬÂþ 91ɬÂþ
I was initially worried that 91ɬÂþ would feel too small, but I am still constantly meeting new people, even in my senior year. There are always new faces in every class, every club event, or every weekend out. There is no shortage of people to meet!
