I know these are all essentially for self-validation but please for the love of god chance me. I’m a senior at the top charter school in the United States. I’m applying to a ton of other schools, but Brown’s my top choice.
I’m a middle-class, disabled Hispanic female from AZ, planning on concentrating in Gender/Women’s/Sexuality studies in tandem with Public Health, planning on attending medical school (THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE). I’m currently conducting primary research with a national feminist organization examining self-identified feminists’ perceptions of infertile women.
