3. Allan Bakke was a 35-year-old white male who after serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam and working as an engineer for NASA, developed an interest in medicine. Bakke applied to UC Davis and was rejected even though he had attained a GPA and MCAT grade above the school’s average. Along with excellent academic recognition, he also had very good credentials beyond the classroom and was even interviewed by UC Davis’s Dr. Theodore West who stated that Bakke was, “a…
PITT School of Medicine is located in Pittsburgh the closest medical school around where I live. There are many requirements to get accepted into medical school for PITT those requirements include one year in Biology, exclusive of botany and Ecology, General or inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics with one full year lab each and also an English class. The admissions committee will look at undergraduate records, exposure to the practice of medicine, research, work experience, MCAT scores, and lots of other little attributes. The MCAT exam is an abbreviation for Medical College Admissions Test which I would take after I graduate college. Students admitted into PITT School of Medicine typically have an undergraduate GPA between 3.55…
I always believed that my success was dependent solely on hard work. I studied hard for tests, edited papers late into the night, and poured countless hours into practicing for the ACT. However, I came to realize that success also requires opportunity and good luck.…

As a young child, I had a strong passion for the medical field. As early as middle school I had already looked at a variety of colleges that interested me. As a matter of fact, I…
My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point. At times, I feel overwhelmed with the struggles that arise in achieving my degree, but that would not stop me from my main point in coming to this school. I am able to connect my experience to the experience the Nolan’s and my dad went through when it was their time to achieve their dreams. I find it to be very lucky to go to school in New York because I am already one step ahead of my game to fulfill my target since New York is the place where there are many opportunities for everyone. Hence, having a motivated outlook on life, everything that is impossible will be…
Death is inevitable; People are all going to die at one point. Kagan in his book asks whether there is life after death. Since death comes after life, it paves for life again or is it eternity. Kagan thinks that death can be, and very often is, bad for the person who dies (and this is so because death deprives that person of the goods of life). However, Kagan denies that death is not bad. It is reasonable or appropriate for people to fear death. Kagan claims that only if people have three conditions. The first is the object of fear is bad. People are fear of death because of the badness of death. Death is defined as a bad thing because if people died, all things will not exist. If a person does afraid of one thing, the thing must be bad. Put…

As well as the skills that I acquired during the past years will help me improve and excel in the medical…
The reason why my GPA is low was because of my life conditions. At the time of my school education about half way in it, I was having issues in my marriage that later it lead to a divorce that dreaded on awhile and because of that, I also had a hard time to keep up with my bills, which caused me to be severe depressed, sad, and anxious. Which also caused a decrease in attention/focus on my education in school. I really had a hard time to get back into my books and to stay focus in school. If it wasn't for the support from Brown Mackie College Professors to understand my situation, and to help me stay focus I would have never been able to complete my education at Brown Mackie.…
Going into my freshman year of college at The College of Charleston, I was unsure how the college experience would affect the next four years of my life; however, after nearly two semesters of coursework, career exploration, playing division one baseball, and being involved in the community, I have decided that the Honors College is the best path for me. I have set my mind on majoring in Biology and pursuing a career as a physician. The interdisciplinary studies, Honors Immersed, and the community involvement through Honors Engaged the Honors College offers directly line up with what I want to pursue outside of the classroom with regards to medicine and exploration into the sciences. These aspects of the Honors College will not only put me closer to achieving my goal of getting into Medical School, but I know I will enjoy them, as I have a passion for learning and helping others.…
I have not had any grades lower than a B. However, I did have difficulties with the MCAT. While I have overcome many academic obstacles inherit with attending a small town school, which did not concentrate on college preparation, standardized testing is still a weak area for me. It has been something that I have always had to defend since entering college; a lot of doubt was placed upon me when I decided to become pre med. I remember sitting in advising and being told “it wasn’t easy and that I would likely have a difficult time passing science courses, due to my low scores in science on the ACT and not having a strong science background.” Just as my ACT scores didn’t forecast my future as a science major, I don’t believe my MCAT score serves…

I was one of maybe eight out of a class of 50 who passed the TEAS Exam with a score high enough to grant me admission into their competitive RN program. During my time at Rasmussen I have taken my studies very seriously and have earned Honor Roll. However, my educational and career goals surpass that of which Rasmussen can provide for me. I hope to first achieve an AS at USF and then to be granted into the AS-MS Accelerated Graduate Program. I know that the program is very competitive, but with the resources provided at USF, I know I can excel. I hope that my strong desire for success shines through what I have written here and that you take my awards, honors, and applicable skills into consideration when deciding on my admission status. I can assure you that if I am admitted into USF, I will always grant my classes (as well any extracurricular activities) my upmost attention and full effort at all…
Coming into college I told myself that I will not let my GPA fall anything lower than a 3.3 because that is the GPA I ended with in highschool. All throughout highschool I was so upset with myself due to the fact that my GPA was so low. Finishing my first semester of my freshman year of college I was really proud of myself! I have never ever in my life seen my GPA so high I literally almost cried. I worked really hard for my GPA to look like that on the right. My GPA is one thing that will constantly stress me out for the four years here at the University of Bridgeport. I see my GPA as a challenge for me because it will continue to push me to my full potential. While working throughout my semester I know that my GPA will reflect my hard work…
