<p>All you hear about about the university of wisconsin-madison is positive. The university is diverse, the academic opportunities are abundant, and the atmosphere is amazing. First and foremost the biggest reason im applying is the academic aspect of the school which is known to be ranked as one of the best in the country. Seeing as I want to go to medical school and be a doctor, UW-Madison is perfect. Friends have told me that the pre-med route here is tough but they felt that they were extremely well prepared for the MCAT and were beyond happy with their decision to attend UW-Madison. Also, im applying here because the area I go to high school in, is a very uniform community in terms of their political and religious views. Everybody where I live basically has the same views on everything, it severely lacks diversity. This can make it tough to form my own opinion sometimes and would love to be part of a diverse campus like Madison's. This is why I would love to attend a diverse university like UW-Madison.
If I was accepted into this prestigious university I would make the most of it. Starting with extra-curricular activities I would be able to run track at the division one level. I would continue my hard work that has allowed me to get looked at athletically in high school to make a positive impact on the track team. Going along with that, I have learned of many programs that help kids go back to school or food drives that some members of the track team have participated in. I see this as a great way to give back to the community and would definitely be something I would participate in yearly to show my appreciation for the opportunity to attend UW-Madison. As for other research opportunities I would certainly be volunteering time at a local hospital or looking for possible laboratory work. By volunteering at these places not only would I make a positive experience but I would gain advantageous experience for medical school. At UW-Madison this is a more realistic possibility than other universities; having multiple hospitals nearby and even a medical school to volunteer or work at. I believe I would be a beneficial asset to the school academically and athletically I would love for the chance to attend this wondrous university.</p>
