Brief Profile:
I'm a Bio major with a minor in Fine Arts. My family is planning to move to Florida, so I guess I'll have a better chance there once they're the state residence. I'm planning to apply after I graduate. There's nothing really outstanding about my app...so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
