As my Fall of 2022 semester at Tufts University has come to a close, I have learned a lot and explored the different opportunities presented this semester. I explored my interest in chemistry further by taking an interest in my professor’s research in ocean acidification balance, attending his office hours to learn more about his work and to hopefully become more involved in the future. I was also able to explore some non-STEM interests of mine in an intro to philosophy class where I was able to delve into different perspectives of thought and understand the science of science. As far as making preparations for my future career as a doctor, I prepared my applications and other materials necessary to apply for Tuft University’s early assurance program for Tufts University’s Medical School. I am currently preparing to submit my application and prepare for interviews that will occur in spring of 2023. I remained in the Tufts Pre-medical society, attending speaking events revolving around medical issues today and learning about medical school application and testing processes for medical schools from upper-classmen. I also became involved in the South Asian Political Alliance (SAPA) club that aims to educate and understand/reform the policies in south asian countries that impact people in different areas such as healthcare, economic conditions, etc. For this coming spring semester, I hope to become more involved in research, different clubs, and community service, as well as prepare well for the early assurance program.
