Brief Profile:
Okay, here's the laundry list...so boring to write about...if you have any specific questions, feel free to email me. I have been doing research over the past year (I graduated in 6/05), and had done a project my sophomore year. I worked as a caregiver to Alzheimer's patients in a care home and as a sexual health educator for a year. I was a VP and 3 year member of the ambassadors for my college...I think those were my most significant activities. I also got the 'outstanding graduating microbiology student' award and graduated summa cum laude.

Summary of Application Experience
The two things that stuck out to me the most about the application process were the cost and all the waiting involved...but it's doable. My advice: Get a part-time job during school and full-time in the summer if you can, and keep your fingers crossed!
