Reflection: Wow. The College Admissions Process is something that I will never forget. I have been researching the whole process for the last year and a half I am glad that everything worked out in a strange but awesome way. Choosing between an Ivy League School like Cornell and a combined BS/MD program was a very difficult decision but I am glad that I chose the right path. I am more than willing to offer help to anyone if they need it. However, my best advice is to do what you love (find a niche), explore more about it, and be able to write and speak well on that certain niche.
