School Specific Essays

Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale.

134 Words
Why are you drawn to the area(s) of study you indicated earlier in this application?

Through my travels to India, I noticed how unsafe drinking water and poor air quality contribute to detrimental health conditions. Many people do not have adequate food, shelter, and clothing. Shadowing my aunt in India, a doctor, I learned from patients how difficult their lives are. I slowly developed a deep desire to help people improve their lives. As I went through my high school...
