<p>CAREER ASPIRATIONS </p>
<p>I currently plan to major in Physics in college. After that, I would like to go to graduate school to study a more specific field of Physics, such as Astrophysics. With the knowledge I will gain, I hope to be able to work doing research or applying my knowledge in an industrial setting. I am uncertain of where I will end up in the future, but I am determined that it will be in the field of Physics.</p>
<p>Where I applied:
Brown (Dad went there, got inducted into Football Hall of Fame [I don't know if that matters])
Lehigh
Colgate
Bucknell
Johns Hopkins
Swarthmore (did research there over summer, incorporated into "Why Swat?" essay)
Muhlenberg
Gettysburg
Rutgers (NJ resident)</p>
