What motivated you to transfer to Rice University? Please be specific and limit your response to 200 words.
I'm drawn to Rice particular by its excellent pre-med program. It will not only challenge me to reach my potential, but also adequately prepare me for medical school. I will be able to take advantage of Rice's close proximity to Texas Medical Center, and various opportunities to gain clinical experiences in some of the best medical facilities in the world. I also will be able to learn to use my knowledge to resolve real world problems through the abundant research opportunities. Furthermore, a wide range of innovative classes offered would allow me to purse my interest outside science. I cannot wait to take classes such as Medical Sociology and Britain from the Industrial Revolution to Gordon Brown. Having grown up in a big city and lived in three countries, I also find the diverse student body and location of Rice extremely appealing. And the unique residential college system would most certainly enrich my college experience and smooth my transition to Rice.
Two years ago, my application to Rice ended with my lack of confidence and motivation. I had already been accepted into the school that I now attend, and I feared failure and doubted whether I would be successful at a world-renowned institution such as Rice. Today, with a much better understanding of my future goals and myself, I have come to realize Rice is the perfect place to fulfill my dreams.
