Biomedical Science: Personal Statement

The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.

I have attained interpretive skills and the ability to handle a large amount of different information and actively select the relevant pieces in my A-level Biology course. My enjoyment has peaked when learning about the biological molecules topic as I enjoy researching and learning about genetics and understanding how biological processes in the body function. I find it fascinating understanding about how the body behaves and particularly like learning about the anatomy of the human body and its vital components such as enzymes. Additionally

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

Photosynthesis, respiration, the classes of animals, what makes the human body work, how viruses work: all of these are so exciting in my eyes. Science is real and usable in daily life and interested me when it came to application. What to eat, why you think the way you do, what makes your body work, how the world goes round, all of these directly affect your life every day. The same can't be said for European history or learning German. I can't name one time I spoke German outside of high school. But biology studies things like how your body works and that is something that happens every day even if you are

And to grasp how our systems work, I needed to have a deeper understanding of what they are made of, which is what biochemistry is all about- the chemistry of life. My interest in the human body started in fourth grade when I first learned about anatomy and the body systems. Until this day, I haven’t forgotten the names of the bones in the skeletal system. When I volunteered to translate and help out in a Medical Mission last summer in the Philippines, my interest in medicine grew. I knew I wanted to become a doctor, but this volunteer opportunity made me certain that the medical field was for me. It was fascinating to be involved in the discussion between the patient and the doctors since I was the one translating from English to Filipino and vice versa, and seeing how the doctors handle diagnoses and treatments was quite a learning experience. I’ve also taken Honors and Advanced Placement courses in Science and Math which also fueled my interest in my chosen field. Taking the AP Biology course really made me more aware and gave me a greater interest towards life and our human bodies. It’s mind-blowing to think about the complexity of our living systems and how we can be unaware of what is actually going on inside of us. This is precisely why I strive to become a doctor- I want to learn more about medicine and

I have always had a strong passion for the sciences. They were always my favorite classes and I enjoyed putting in the hard work to master them. I did well in math and business courses too, however I never felt excited about the material I was studying. My favorite areas in science have been biology, anatomy, and physiology of the human body. Each time I learn something new, I continue to be amazed by the complexity and precision of the human body.

Science is a field I am particularly passionate about and am pursuing as a career. This is because I believe the profound knowledge and insights science offers can best equip me to serve others through a career in health care. I came to this conclusion after taking my first college level biology course. For the first time, I became aware of the unimaginable dept and complexity of the world and ignited a burning fire within me to understand it all. As I continued to take additional biology and chemistry courses, I discovered the thrill that comes with deciphering the governing laws of life. This understanding has taken on a greater, personal meaning as I have learned how to apply science to daily life and share its benefits. Moreover, working with various masters of this admirable field has encouraged me to apply my own skills and what I have learned in health care.

I have found studying A –level Biology very intriguing; it has enhanced my knowledge of key biological processes that allow humans to thrive as a species and given me some insight into relevant topics of Biomedical science such as genetics

Biology is the science in which one discovers and learns about living organisms and their counterparts. The study of biology, especially physiology, allows for humans to learn about themselves, and how their system works. In order to expand my knowledge and succeed in becoming a doctor, I will have to spend a lot of time dissecting and participating in biological tasks. This will allow for me to become familiar

When people hear the word “biology” they most likely think of think of things such as dissecting frogs or looking through microscopes. There are those who work in biological fields that do perform such tasks as these. But there is much more to biology than people realize. For example, if you have ever bought flowers, taken medicine, or eaten food, you have benefited from the work of a biologist. This makes biology one of the most broad and diverse areas of study.

I am fascinated by the science of life, especially pertaining to animals. In my high school classes, AP Biology is probably the most engaging as I am endlessly curious about how living things work. New to me this year, I have started taking preparation classes for Brown’s Brain Bee. Though it’s very basic, I love learning about the neuroscience that is taught during those classes. The body’s control center is fascinating to me as it is complex. Animals are very interesting creatures and studying about what makes an individual so interesting is what I want to focus on in college. Also, with the intention of becoming a doctor, both of these areas of study are very pertinent to my future goals.

I am fascinated by the science field. It is constantly changing through new discoveries. I find it very interesting that everything in this field may not be true and can be proven wrong. There is nothing set in stone and through these new discoveries we are able to back up theories and hypotheses or prove them wrong and in turn opening up new areas of study. I also like knowing why things happen and the reasoning behind them. My favorite class right now is General Biology I because I am able to understand the body and why things happen. I am able to make connections about why things happen. We are currently learning about genetics and I am able to see that Down Syndrome also referred to as Trisomy 21. I can connect the two names together because “tri” means 3 resulting in 3 chromosomes of number 21. I loved being able to make connections where the “light bulb” in my head goes off. Another

I am applying to biomedical science because I am looking for a new challenge and I believe it will give me a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills required for a career in health care. My goal is to understand Biomedical Science to the fullest of my capacity and I believe that I would be ideal to pursue a career in Biomedical Science and your university is the ideal choice to facilitate me in reaching this ambition. I have this urge to know what else is going on around me that I am not able to see with my naked eyes. I have always been intrigued about the mechanisms of how the human body works the complexity, diversity, effectiveness of these mechanisms as a function of our wellbeing.

My A-Level choices have equipped me with the adequate skills and basic knowledge that I feel are necessary to study a degree in Biomedical Science. In Psychology, I found Biopsychology most fascinating because we learnt about how the Nervous System works alongside the Endocrine System. Equally, I enjoyed Psychopathology as we learnt about the causes and symptoms of diseases such as OCD, and the drug-based biological treatments for them that target hormones such as serotonin. Studying Mathematics has enabled me to achieve a greater understanding of how to apply statistical tests such as the Spearman’s Rank Correlation, in Biology.

As I study to complete a Biomedical Engineering degree at the University of Florida I know that I will gain extensive knowledge that will help me succeed in my post collegiate endeavors. Attending the University of Florida will further my knowledge on this field in both classrooms and research labs. By the end of my career at UF I hope to have the skills and knowledge needed to conduct research, work in a research group, and even lead research projects in the Biomedical field. Currently, I am planning on applying to medical school. The hard work and dedication that i need in order to receive a degree from UF will not only increase my chances of being accepted into medical school, but also of being successful as a med-school student, and eventually
