Personal Statements

“The days at Robert Morris Elementary allowed me a unique experience to learn about the community. Though many of the children have already gone through so many struggles, their uplifting spirits and amazing strength were inspiring and will remain with me for a long time. ” –Christine

“Spending the summer interacting with and teaching impressionable middle school children from urban schools in Philadelphia has truly changed my perspective on more than just medicine. This experience has greatly expanded my horizons and has allowed for me to take another step forward towards my goal of becoming a better future physician.” ‐Brandon
