Pre-Med Summer Plans!!!
Hi everyone! My name is Rishi and I am a rising junior attending Washington University in St.Louis as a Genomics major. I took my first trip to Europe this summer exploring the beautiful cities of Barcelona and Lisbon, trying to make the most of the Catalan culture and the wonderful street art.
I loved my experience so much that I have decided to fully commit to study abroad in Barcelona next Spring and get involved with the language, culture, and medical system in depth.
Right now I am on my way back to St.Louis and will be taking a month long Organic Chemistry course while also conducting research into various gene therapies being developed on campus!
I can not wait to start this last half of my summer which will be filled with fun and curiosity learning/discovering new parts of my life. I am looking forward to bringing this knowledge when I am fully back on campus at the end of August to help other people get into medical school and introduce them to Kaplan.
One piece of advice I have going into this year is to always continue to be yourself. Life can start to become stressful or things might not go your way but by staying true to yourself I promise you will come out on the other side a better version of you. Never lose that individuality!
