Freshman Summer-- Took classes at local community college
Sophomore Summer – UPenn PreCollege Program
Junior Summer – took a class at my state university/ Shadowed General Internist Hospital Specialist at Brigham and Womens Hospital (Harvard Med Teaching Affiliate )

***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry (depression) and hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique

Model UN (10,11,12)
–Have attended numerous national conferences in Model UN and have won several Individual (national) Awards – As many of you MUNers know, winning at large conferences is no easy feat
–My school’s MUN team is the best MUN team in the state
– Placed first several times at my High School’s ‘mock’ model united nations conferences.

-I was lucky enough to receive a New Jersey Legislature Citation of Praise and Commendation for my Community Service

-I shadow General Internists every weekend at the Best Hospital in New Jersey (It’s surprisingly difficult to get a team of doctors to let a high schoolers tag along with them on rounds)
