<p>The only thing that makes me somewhat different than every other person is that I 100% know what I want to do after college. I plan to become an orthopedic spine surgeon. I chose this because I have struggled with scoliosis most of my life and it is something dear to my heart that I will enjoy doing for the rest of my life. Thus, I have taken extra science courses in high school, and I am a science peer tutor. I also volunteered at a hospital over the summer to gain an understanding of the environment. I think I'm going to write my admissions essay about this because it is something I'm very passionate about. I want to help others who are going through what I went through because the orthopedic field is male dominated. Thus, as a female I will be able to make a difference because almost all severe scoliosis suffers are female.</p>
<p>I think it’s great! Especially because you seem very passionate about it, and that’s what the AOs are looking for.</p>
