Biomedical Science Personal Statement
My interest in science dates back to very early on, however, my devoted fascination in medicine didn’t come until I discovered an old hospital drama, “ER”. In my high school years I excelled in biology, physiology, and anatomy. When I was a sophomore in High School, I began taking Advanced Placement courses because I enjoyed the excitement of completing a difficult challenge. Although all of these courses proved to be great learning experiences I found the AP biology class to be the most delightful. Given my intense fascination with the field of medicine, it seemed only natural that I pursue a career in biomedical sciences. I began my undergraduate career at a community college in hopes of staying debt free for as long as possible. I did so by continuing to work as hard as I can and pushing through the obstacles that life has put in my path. Throughout my time at Mercer County College I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of demanding, yet intriguing science courses, all of which only sparked my curiosity of the science field further. I've also had the chance to experience a variety of humanities and social science electives which, I believe were essential in …show more content…
I know that, in addition to your excellent standing, well achieved faculty, and highly praised curriculums, your science and lab facilities are among the best in New Jersey. I hope you will give me the privilege of continuing my education in biomedical studies at your fine institution. I believe that the superb opportunity to attend your campus would not only ensure that I would receive the highest quality of education, but also that I will be supplied with the pre-medicinal knowledge necessary for me to become well prepared for continuing my education at a Medical

    In school, I have enjoyed learning sciences especially when the topics are related to human conditions. Ever since learning about general biology in my junior high school years ago, I have on my own taken additional anthropology, psychology, anatomy and chemistry classes from a local college for further enrichment and have grown very fond of learning the complexity in human machinery and interaction. Occasionally I do find learning these topics too weighty to continue. Whenever that happens now, I would always manage to pull through by remembering that particular good day where I acted as 'an orthopedic doctor'.…

    I have always been a person who has found herself torn between the love of chemistry and biology. The manner by which all natural schemes of the human body work and even methods by which they could be manipulated to create something desirable, to where one can produce the answers to someone's problem is such a powerful and a blessed ability. At fourteen years, I was a dedicated, immensely caring, and vibrant young lady with great dreams aspiring to become a medical doctor. For the final two years of secondary school, I successfully…

    I can still vividly recall the eleven-year-old me fawning over the likes of Lawrence Krauss and Neil Degrasse Tyson. I was completely immersed in everything and anything pertaining to the vast universe beyond our seemingly insignificant world. I thought I had it all figured out. I would devote my life to being an astrophysicist and eventually earn my PhD. I would relish in the pink lettering on my wall that said “Dr. Mia”, but as I approach my late teens, my mind has been bombarded with what-ifs and buts. Irrespective of my change of heart, I still have an intense passion for math and science since it is how we explain the world around us, and that is why I have settled on biomedical engineering.…

    I was introduced to the field I am interested in from my 9th grade biology class. Prior to the course, I had never taken biology or any science, for that matter, that had captured my attention such as this year-long experience. I was intrigued by the subject and fascinated with all the advances in society that have been made by scientists throughout the years. The possibility of being able to do this in the future kept me engaged and I further pursued this interest by currently taking AP Biology. In addition, I was inspired by the change that scientists can make through research and…

    One of my most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I received a plastic toy stethoscope from my grandfather. Years later, I realize how it was not only a new plaything, but one that would inspire me to choose my future career path. While medicine is a tough field of study, I know that it is tougher still to toil the earth as my grandfather did in the hot indian summers. At his side after a long day’s work, I would help him at the night clinic he opened for free vaccinations. As I entered high school, I strived to embody such initiative and leadership by running for the Student Council and serving as Class Representative. Taking AP Biology and AP Environmental Science ignited my fascination about how living organisms and cellular systems effortlessly work together, grow, and adapt to their environment,…
