<p>Hello, I would just like to say first Im not the normal applicant, or so I would think. Ever since I was a frosh, I had been interested in one and only one thing: Surgery. I wanted to be a surgeon (Not a general surgeon, I mean like orthopedic surgeon) and have pursued what I think are ECs centered on the medical world. Details later in this.</p>

<p>Outside of school:</p>
<p>-Volunteered at a hospital for 4 years now, (as expected) I was allowed to watch several surgeries in process, which was very exciting. (Not trauma based)
-I take golf lessons at an expensive country club (I have taken them since freshman year) During summer/spring
-I wrote two reports concerning cancer and neurology. The one on neurology I gave to many friends in the hospital and they claimed it was phenomenal. It basically discusses many functions and parts of the brain, diseases/disorders of the brain, of which I look at and suggest a method of treatment or halting as well as provide a way to calculate your odds of acquiring some hereditary or environment related diseases. It was written it during my freshman year. It is a good 50+ pages in length. The one on cancer isnt finished yet.</p>
<p>Other important information:</p>
<p>-As far as Yale and Harvard go, I dont have any legacies. BUT:
-My Uncles friend, who is my friend, now, is a surgeon who graduated from Yale. I have talked with him since I was a freshman and he knows me to be a gifted person with great interest in my field. He says he will write a letter to Yale strongly recommending me, saying I would be a perfect fit for the class.
-And as for Harvard, my mother is friends with a Harvard grad, and she him about me and he is very impressed. If I apply, he will write a letter of recommendation to Harvard as well.</p>
<p>-My essay is in my opinion profound. I wrote about how my grandmother was slowly dying in the hospital which is where I became interested in medicine. </p>
