Hello I am Andrew. I am a current junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Biology and minoring in Neuroscience and Health Care Management.

Describe your college experience
My college experience has been great so far. Learning how to live on your own while managing extracurriculars and difficult classes truly tests your ability to balance multiple things at once. College in my opinion has helped me become more independent and realize that these four years go by very quickly, so make the most out of each and every day.
Tip for future students
My tip for future students is to not join every club or organization, but find a select few that truly interest you and try to become an important role in those clubs. Also, starting a new club is also always an option. Just do not limit yourself freshman year since you will not get that time back.
Favorite class
My favorite class at Penn was Health Care Data and Analytics since it combined my ability to code with my newfound interests in the Health Care Management side of medicine.
Career goals
I aspire to become a pediatrician, so I am currently applying to medschool this cycle
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal way to spend a free night is to hangout with some of my friends, watch a movie or tv show or if it is the weekend then we go explore downtown Philly since it is only a 5 minute uber there. Having downtown Philadelphia so close is very nice because most people from Penn are not from this area, so it is very cool to explore as much as you can when you do go down there.
