When the light turns red, he wheels himself onto the road, weaving through the cars trapped in gridlock. You...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school213 WordsWhy Biomed at Bucknell? My favourite cartoon was Dexter’s Lab; about a boy genius with a secret laboratory where he conducted mind blowing experiments but much to his chagrin, his sister, Dee-Dee, always came along to literally blow up his plans. As I grew older, my interests shifted from cartoons to scouring science journals for the latest breakthroughs in science and technology. With reaches in nanotechnology, prosthetics and neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering is an opportunity to give people the chance...Read more...Additional Essay Details31 WordsThe trick with essays is to read as many as you can.
