Undergraduate / "Doctor's dream and life commitment" - Why The Ohio State University? [5]

I would like to attend Ohio State University because it has been a dream of mine as well as a planned commitment that I have been waiting for all my life. I have a passion for the Ohio State football team; I am in awe of the amazing program Ohio State has developed. The experiences my mother and her best friend had will last them a lifetime. Ohio State University has the ability to help shape me into a successful pre-med student, a graduate as well as a future physician.

When I was a younger person, developing into a young adult, Ohio State football had been something I LOVED. I dedicate every Saturday during football season to watch the game. I always dress in the famous scarlet and gray with face paint and waving pom poms everywhere, cheering the Ohio State Buckeyes to victory. I am waiting for my chance to be there, in the stands apart of the Buckeye nation family.

I love sitting at home with my mom and her best friend listening to them talk about their university days. My mother majored in criminology and her friend studied to become a registered nurse. They have had the most outrageous experiences, experiences that have made them who they are today. My mom would always tell me how hard the classes were and how she was put on academic probation. I listened as she talked about the frat parties and the all-nighters. Cramming for an 8 am exam, trying to get all the knowledge in before it was too late. I learned a lot from her experiences. Going to college isn't just about the parties, and staying up all night. It's about sitting in a classroom full of other students and one professor, giving lecture after lecture and you being able to listen, learn and take notes. Her best friend would always talk to me about the BIG Saturday games and how hype everyone in the stands were. She described the feeling of the vibration beneath your feet. Just looking around seeing everything drenched in that beautiful scarlet and subtle gray. She talked about the dorms and how there was always something going on. They both talked about all the different kinds of people, cultures, and religions.

Ohio State has the ability to help shape me, and give me the confidence I need to do my best, achieve things I never thought were possible. Ohio State fits me personally and will give me what I need to succeed in life. Ohio State will push me to be all I can be. I want to be able to experience the AED (Alpha Epsilon Delta) Club. Meet all the speakers and to just learn a little bit of everything. Science isn't really my forte, but I will build a solid science foundation of classes. All of these classes and more will prepare me for the most important test of my life. The MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) this is the one thing that will determine weather or not I make it into medical school.

Through the years of me being a child and developing into a young adult. Saturday football, listening to the different experiences, I realized I want to be apart of it all. I want to be able to tell my children about my crazy experiences at a school that is known for its people, excellence, and tradition. I am looking for a university that is right for me. Ohio State is that University.
