I work as a pharmacy tech on days I don’t have school, as well as tutor middle and high schoolers in Math and Science. I also have coached a little league baseball team during the summers. Super fun
LOR: I waived my right to view them so I have no clue. I’m confident they are great. They are from my biology and chemistry professors who I’ve had in class for 4 semesters now.
Personal Essay: Average. Not very extravagant but mainly talked about how I absolutely have to transfer somewhere to finish my degree and how I desire a research-focused school with opportunities for pre-medical advising.
The first application decision for Vanderbilt transfer this year was April 18, my decision came in the May 8 wave.

Not really considering Auburn, Belmont, or Union anymore due to cost.
