Tell us about the academic areas that interest you most and your reasons for applying to Brown.
As a freshman in high school, I had the opportunity to conduct an independent science research project in which I tested which types of bacteria are more resistant than others to the antibiotic ampicillin. During the course of this experiment, I had started to think analytically and develop more and more questions from my observations. As a result, I came to greatly value independent research. Courses like AP biology opened my eyes to how much there is to science, and instilled in me a love for biological sciences. Not surprisingly, I wish to pursue my interest in biology at Brown. Many factors shape my rationale for applying to Brown. The broad research opportunities and variety of innovative courses offered under the department of biology will give me the tools I need to excel in the field. Furthermore, the Day in the Life program will give me the opportunity to gain early exposure to jobs in the field of biology. In addition, I view the undergraduate period of a student's life as a time of discovery. Brown's flexible curriculum will allow me to just that: develop new interests and hobbies. I also greatly admire Brown's unique elective courses, such as the history of math, and its stellar facilities. What I find most exceptional about Brown, however, is its collaborative and nourishing learning environment, which I deem essential to enriching one's intellectual path. Keeping this in mind, I am confident that Brown will prepare me exceptionally well in my chosen field of study.
How did you become interested in Brown?
When my guidance counselor mentioned the uniqueness of Brown this past April, I started to look into Brown more in depth. Through my online research, I learned that Brown was indeed a unique place, laden with opportunities. However, what really led me to set my heart on Brown was the Brown viewbook. Perusing through this book gave me a good sense of Brown's educational philosophy and the beauty of the campus and facilites.
