I’m a French major and a Spanish minor who is
also fulfilling premed requirements. I’ve been told by professionals and graduate school
admissions staff to do what truly interests me as an undergraduate rather than what looks good
on an application or resume. So, I am pursuing my passions at Smith. I’m studying languages,
and I’m a leader in a number of campus organizations.
Last summer I was in Seattle for
the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program, which is geared toward minority premed
undergraduate students. That was one of my great Smith experiences. In January, I traveled
to the Dominican Republic with a group of UMass nursing students to work in the maternity
ward at a public hospital. In the fall, I’ll go to Geneva for my junior year.
I love Smith
but I know it isn’t
the right choice for everyone. I think, though, that if you are self-directed, it’s a place
where you can really blossom. |
