REF: APPLICATION FOR A DEGREE IN MEDICINE
My name is……(Insert name), ………., aged…(Insert age), ….from…..(insert your location). I hereby apply for the degree in medicine in your university, after a successful completion of my High School studies at Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences. After a record of excellent academic results in my previous studies, I now intend to pursue my passion of caring for people through a degree in medicine at your university. I have a strong dream to become a doctor and excel in the profession to the greatest heights possible. This dream drives my ambitions and powers my efforts to not only excel in studies but also in caring for people. My passion for helping is strongly founded on my caring nature, as I seek to assist people who are in health problems. This is a character I have had since my childhood.
The passion for caring for people relates to my childhood health conditions, which called for someone to take care of me. During my birth, there was a congenital anomaly which necessitated surgical interventions. The anomaly and the resultant health conditions made my early childhood depend on medical professional who helped my life. I feel strongly indebted to humanity, to spend my entire life giving back the same care I got when I was young. This passion is also founded on the recognition that the world needs heroes who are passionate about human life, and have a call to serve humanity. Since I was a young boy, I have committed myself to this call, which I look forward to fulfill in the university with a degree in medicine.
The drive to be a doctor has inspired my academic excellence in my past educational institutions. I completed my high school with an honors and an AP in my school as well as a SAT score of 2170. This was in addition to a 226 score in 2014 PSAT and National Merit Scholarship semi-final score. In the health science, I scored 770 out of 800 in Biology SAT Subject Test and scored 298 out of 300 in Science in eighth grade. As a result of academic excellence, I received the President’s Award for Academic Excellence and featured in the Consistent Honor Roll Student Awards among other honors.
The academic excellence and passion for medicine are directed by my high sense of discipline, strong values and an honest character. According to Shakur (2006), excelling in medicine requires ethical values and honest character in addition to academic qualifications. These traits have opened my leadership qualities, having achieved several hallmarks in my life. I have helped raise funds for services of human importance, both at school and in the community. At the same time, I have consistently volunteered in JKF Hospital, Doctors’ Office in India and New Jersey, Veteran Affairs Hospital in Lyons, NJ and in community health center, Keyport, NJ among others. At the same time, I have excelled in archery sport, having won several championships. Currently, I am a member of archery associations, in addition to being a certified coach.
To achieve my dream, I really need the professionalism imparted by your university, as a center of excellence. While I have achieved a strong path towards achieving my dream of being a doctor, I have a long way to go to reach the height of the profession. With your university being the best in the preparation of doctors, I hereby request for your consideration of my application.
