    Yale appeals to me because of all the amazing opportunities that it offers. I'm looking to go onto medical school and I know after extensive research that Yale offers me the opportunities as a pre-med student that I need in order to make my dream of becoming a doctor a reality. Yale offers a great amount of assistance such as health professions advising, career advising, and tutoring which isn't something that all colleges usually prioritize so I genuinely appreciate it especially because I realize that being a pre-med student at any college will prove to be demanding and rigorous.…

    The mission of the Honors College is something that represents the environment I enjoy and thrive in. Firstly, the community surrounding education and conversation is something unique and truly mesmerizing. I know that I am in a good place when my peers thoroughly enjoy discussing a multitude of topics, regardless of who they are, what they’re studying, and where they’ve come from. The Honors College is one of these places that gives everyone a voice and the ability to generate open discussions on various topics. Also, the undergraduate research that the Honors College provides will enable me to continue connecting with professors and delve into my passions within my major. Mr. Bill Robinson, an Associate Professor of Management in the Krannert School, is an example of a professor that I see myself bonding with over our interest in new product development. The opportunities to learn alongside professors and seek extra help when needed, is beneficial to learning wholeheartedly.

    I want to be part of the Biological Basis of Behavior program to continue my passion about neuroscience and the human brain, but be able to cross campus to meet with my theater group and explore my other interests. I want the opportunity to do cutting-edge research through Penn’s emphasized research programs, like the Vagelos program, then join my friends the next Saturday afternoon in the stands as we throw toast to show our unwavering support for our Quakers. I want to think across academic lines, instead of having to pick just one interest. I want to be a building block in a supportive community. I want to collaborate with my peers and learn alongside students who will help me grow stronger and to strengthen them as well. I want to try new things and make mistakes. I want to learn about the world in a way that is not just limited to a college degree. I want to experience, I want to feel, I want to understand. I want to shout about my craziest, most far-fetched dreams, that I want to cure cancer and save the world, and I want to be told that they’re still valid and that here, at Penn, I can accomplish…
