"The Scholars for Medicine program gave me the opportunity to take on new and unexpected challenges during my undergraduate career. Knowing that I had secured a spot at the medical school gave me the confidence to follow my dreams, and the freedom to explore different academic avenues at the University. With the resources that are available through the Scholars for Medicine program, I have easily found opportunities to shadow physicians, participate in research, and volunteer in numerous departments at the hospital. I am very fortunate and honored to have this unique experience. I eagerly await to attend medical school, where I will be working with physicians and researchers who are renowned experts in their fields. Given my positive experience during my undergraduate career, I know that medical school will prove to be equally the same: challenging, fun, and a remarkable experience."
