Undergraduate / 'Who do you want to be' - My answers would vary daily, from baker to ballerina [6]
I like your essay, but it seems like you tried to sum everything up into one essay. You go from your parents being doctors to taking advanced courses to shadowing. I would choose one specific moment like maybe one of your days shadowing, and then describing that moment. State how you got there, why you chose to shadow, how as a child you never thought of being a doctor. When admissions officers read your essay they already see your rigorous classes and experiences.This essay is for them to see you as a person. Remember to show, don't tell. Show them your interest in biology and not just tell them. I hope I helped.
