Norcal STEM Personal Statement
Working with the leadership team of the NorCal STEM Festival has allowed me to spread the excitement of science and technology. I hope to continue celebrating STEM through the Columbia Neuroscience Society and its work with the NYC Brain Bee. I love the idea of giving back to the community through education. Columbia provides a multifaceted education that combines practical, hands-on research opportunities with a diverse liberal arts education.

Since I want to either attend the Columbia Pharmacology Graduate Program or pharmacy school, I appreciate the integration of chemistry, calculus, and physics into the biology coursework. I am interested in the Drugs and Behavior course so I can gain insight into my grandmother’s dependence on prescription drugs. She has sadly struggled with back pain for over 40 years. I seek to learn more about medications so I can help others pursue better treatments, protecting them from the pain my grandmother has suffered. In addition, the Biopharmaceutical Development & Regulation course can prepare me for a future career in the pharmaceutical industry. …show more content…
The Amgen Scholars Summer Research Program stands out to me. I hope to work for Amgen one day, possibly in the field of Pharmacovigilance. To maximize well-being, it is important to determine and minimize the adverse effects of therapies.
I believe it is beneficial to be well-rounded in a wide variety of subject areas. This is precisely why I am interested in Columbia’s liberal arts education, a program that will be tailored to my varying interests. I cannot wait to immerse myself in a community where my professors and peers are free to share their unique insights so that I can truly enjoy a multi-dimensional

The flexibility It may seem like a Liberal Arts degree is for someone who can understand the depth of it, but that is completely untrue. The flexibility and use of a Liberal Arts degree is for everyone who is interested and is worth more than the loud politicians that wave them about so eagerly to raise their credibility which is why Sanford J.

    Personal Narrative: What I Learned In AP Chemistry

    There is plenty of milestones in my academic career, but the most prestigious is applying what I learned in AP Chemistry to the AP Exam and passing with a four. Although it may not seem as much on the surface, it’s meaningful. This proved all my hard work persevering through AP Chemistry paid off. This class consisted of laboratory experiments which have sparked my interest in chemistry. I enjoyed much of the labs and loved furthering my knowledge of chemistry. I knew then I wanted to study chemistry but being a chemist doesn’t fit my aspirations, I wanted to apply theories not create them. My future goals have been influenced by my volunteer work with Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful. I’ve helped with christmas tree recyclings and park clean…

    Oxfam Personal Statement

    This demonstrates my commitment and capability to cope with challenging situations and be an effective team member. A hospital placement was an invaluable experience as I witnessed medical synchronisation by shadowing medics and how they form the backbone of science. My core subjects inspired me to do an EPQ on 'Can engineering help with the early diagnosis of dementia?'. My EPQ draws on many aspects, such as how advances in medical imagery can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier. Being a future ambassador of STEM and taking part in organisations like the 'Stemmettes' and 'WISE' has shown me that University will give me the tools to succeed in the biomedical industry. Through workshops I participated and had created 3D simulations and built artificial organs using technology and understood the necessity of using mathematical models to develop drugs. Being involved in the 'BP Day' allowed me to demonstrate practical and creative skills which in turn led me to win the title of 'Modern muse challenge for most original innovated designer for an app'. I was able to network with professionals, in particular…

    The overall first selection was bioengineering. A bio engineer integrates the sciences of medicine and biology, to create new solutions to the world’s medical problems.

    Why I Chose to Study Business

    Last summer, I had the opportunity to be an intern at an international pharmaceutical company Schering. It was a great opportunity for me to experience what it was really like to work in a firm. I helped with the AOCR 2006, a radiology exhibition sponsored by Schering. I enjoyed every moment of it, and I hope that in the future, I could be the one in charge of a project like that. There was a lot of preparation needed before the exhibition, and it was not an easy job. Yet, when the whole exhibition was over and turned out to be a success, it gave me huge satisfaction, especially when I had tried my best to help out.…
