B.S. in Biology
University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA)
After not being accepted to medical school immediately after graduating from UCLA, I knew that I was going to have to improve my application credentials in order to demonstrate my readiness to enter medical school in the future. Even though my major application downfall was my lower than average MCAT score, I knew that retaking the MCAT would most likely not be enough for improving my application. When I heard about the Georgetown University Special Masters? Program I knew that this was the program for me. Not only would I be able to take twenty-three credits of courses right alongside first-year medical students, but also I would come out of the program with a Masters? Degree and an excellent graduate educational experience. This program is a great opportunity to demonstrate to medical school admissions committees that you are capable of mastering the majority of the material taught in the first year of medical school. While here at Georgetown I have made many friends and have been able to grow and learn in a collaborative and encouraging environment.
