What do you hope to study when you go to college and why? How is the Pre Collegiate program helping you meet your goals?
When I go to college (at Brown, Columbia, or NYU) I will be a Pre Med. History Major. I want to be a cardothroactic surgeon, but I am also very very very interested in history and politics. The Pre Collegiate program is helping me meet my goals by making my transcript and resume look more competitive, so I will have more of an advantage over people who have not participated in a Pre Collegiate program at a univeristy.

Wow! Keep working hard and I'm sure you'll find a way to study medicine as well as the humanities. Be sure to check out the Health Sciences Library's Medical Humanities and History of Medicine collections in the Special Collections room on the 3rd floor. There are some great volumes on the progress of medical science and even some medical artifacts from the Civil War!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Siddharta Mukherjee's "The Emperor of all Maladies: a Biography of Cancer" and it is a great example of how our understanding and treatment of a particularly invasive disease (cancer) has changed over the last 2000 years. I'm sure advances in cardiothoracic surgery have made comparable advances.
Good luck!
