Personal Statement Of Purpose To Attend The University Of Iowa

510 Words3 Pages

Upon my graduation from Sterling High School, it is my intent to attend the University of Iowa to major in biology. I chose to attend the University of Iowa because it is a big ten university close to home with an exceptional biology program (the University of Iowa biology department has access to over 4,500 antibodies to conduct research with). The University of Iowa offers various tracks in the field of biology. These tracks include comprehensive biology, cell and developmental biology, genetics and biotechnology, neurobiology, ecology, evolution, and botany. I hope to stay on the comprehensive biology track because this track includes the entire field of biology and is not limited to a specific area. I have a passion for all things science; therefore, I could not bring myself to limit my studies …show more content…

Also, I am strongly considering participating in Iowa’s pre-dental program. During the summer of 2015 I was given the opportunity to job-shadow at Dr. Ferris’s Dental Clinic. There I was able to observe extractions, crownings, implants, root canals, restorations, and general cleanings. Being able to experience the inner workings of a dental clinic first hand sparked my interest in dentistry. Not only do I want to achieve great scholastic success in biology, I want to be successful in all of my classes. Throughout my high school career I have been driven to achieve high academic standing. Over my years at SHS I have come to understand that my educators are a major resource and support system. At the University of Iowa I hope to achieve similar academic standing and I plan to go out of my way to meet with my professors to use them as the resources they are. Although academics are my highest priority, I also want to have the quintessential college experience. I plan to join clubs like intramural tennis, attend sporting events and theatrical performances, and

I am not like other sixteen year olds. I find a better use of my time making the world a better place than partying or loafing around. While my peers engage in such activities I work towards broadening my awareness of the world around me. It’s the small things, namely learning about foreign cultures or giving back to my community that make me different. At sixteen years old, I am graduating from Inlet Grove Community High School and have been accepted to Florida Atlantic University.

I am interested in furthering my education because of my deep fascination in biology and how it affects our future. Ever since the first science class I took in 7th grade I knew that the topic would be incorporated in my post-secondary education in some fashion. Having the ability to understand the inner workings of nature and the relationships between molecules, organisms, and the environment have always interested me. I am a senior who is at the top of my class in AP Biology as of now, and the dream of being involved with the subject is beginning to come true. I have been accepted to a university who is #2 in the nation for my major--zoology--and I also have some experience in this field already from a handful of anatomical dissections, macroinvertebrate

If accepted to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, I intend to double major in Animal Science and Biological Sciences with a concentration in Animal Physiology. I have a strong desire to take classes such as ANSC 2210- Principles of Animal Genetics, ANSC 3200- Comparative Animal Nutrition and Toxicology: Horses, Dogs, Cats, and More, ANSC 2400- Animal Reproduction and Development, and BIOMG 4400- Laboratory in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. By double majoring at Cornell, I believe I will get the best education I could possibly receive. Not only do the majors at the Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences greatly intrigue me, the professors and the strong research conducted at Cornell, do as well. Professors like Dan Brown inspire and fascinate me.

Back in high school, I never heard of interning at a dental clinic, never thought to volunteer at the local library because all I had thought was that I would get into college, graduate, and here comes dental school. Indeed what a fooling thought. I need shpep because I do not yet have the complete first-hand experience at clinics and hospitals. Although shadowing at a dental office gave me very knowledgeable insight into the field, i still have questions, curiosities that I would like to meet before I start the dental school application process. As a first generation, i am always having to need to impress people, prove to them that I have the right to study and learn and gain knowledge because that is how i will secure a bright and healthy future for not only myself, but also my family and the future generations.

Going to Oberlin would be like going to my high school, only tenfold. My high school is very diverse and I've been able to experience a myriad of different situations that, if I had gone to any other high school, I would never have encountered. The majors Oberlin have available are also big attraction points for me. When I get older I hope to become a roving photojournalist/psychologist, who writes her own books and sometimes works for National Geographic, and I feel as if Oberlin will help cultivate this dream of mine and turn it into something even more fantastic than what I imagined (i.e. running my own business that employs other photojournalists/psychologists who trek the world documenting big issues caused by people and figuring out why

Thankfully, my lengthy preparations for a dental profession were not for naught though, as last year my internal flame for professional dentistry was truly alit by a local Omaha dentist. Shadowing Dr. Beninato, was shadowing experience unlike any other that I had previously witnessed. With preconceived notions and minor experience biasing me away from general dentistry, watching Dr. Beninato manipulate equipment and materials to artfully reconstruction entire sets of teeth utilizing full arch implantation supported bridges triggered a personal epiphany. There I sat watching a master of the dental art, whose occupation as a simple general dentist, unlike the restricted path of orthodontics, had enabled him to elect out of a large array of options, and become highly specialized in fields of interest uniquely his own. Additionally, complementing the ability to specialize, I would come to realize general dentistry possessed an equally important aspect that I adore, the joy and skill of working and building with ones hands, at a level woefully unmatched by the manual dexterity required of

I previously applied to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in 2014. Instead of rushing myself to apply the next cycle, I waited another year, reevaluating myself and strengthening my application to become a more competitive candidate. Although I already had more than 400 hours of shadowing experience, working at the dental offices for a year showed me a more realistic view of dentistry – the physical demands that dentists face everyday, the difficulties of managing a budget and administrative work, and the responsibilities of supervising a large number of staff. Furthermore, I am more confident about my application now that I have strengthened my scientific background through an extra year of classes at UC Berkeley Extension.

I believe my practical experience and what I’ve learned during my six years as a dental assistant at Plainview Oral sets me apart from other students. Not only for the dental skills that I have acquired, but also for the kindness and care that I have demonstrated, when working with patients in real life situations. Many patients have thanked me for my professional bedside manner both before, during, and after surgery. I also assisted patients with disabilities, and was able to exhibit a patient and positive attitude when working with them. Hands-on skills such as taking impressions, radiographs, and making night guards will help me thrive in dental school.

Colleges are different in many ways such as location, size, programs of study, and extracurricular activities offered. Yet emphasis on having the best college experience possible is placed on all campus’. The stereotypical experience is generally thought of including football games, excessive amounts of caffeine, loss of sleep, ramen noodles, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Yet college experiences between students involved in fraternities and sororities and students not involved, are drastically different regardless of which school they attend. Social life is a significant part of college, being away from home and friends means starting over and creating new relationships that can potentially last a lifetime.
