SAM VOJDANI
Being a student in the School of Biology
here at Georgia Tech has opened my eyes
to a wide variety of aspects to which
biology can be applied. With the ability
to take part in innovative research on
the cutting edge of science and learn scientific
principles essential to the understanding
of life's processes, I could ask
for no better background on my path to
medical school. The resources available to all of Georgia Tech's students interested
in going the pre-medicine route, regardless of what path, are immense
and unbounded by any institutional restraints. Georgia Tech has already shown
me the way and given me the tools, but coming here has made me realize that
this is the way to my goals. Although success does not come easily at Georgia
Tech, I have been able to use the resources available to me to achieve my goals
within the Tech and Atlanta communities as well as the classroom, providing
me with an unrivaled education and satisfaction in knowing that my degree's
standing can guide me into medical school. Georgia Tech attracts the best and
brightest from all parts of the country and the world, bringing students who
never cease to amaze me with their intellect and creative abilities, challenging
me to push myself harder and reach my full potential.
"As a student in my undergraduate freshman honors biology lab, Sam has always impressed me with his ability to think quickly and present solutions/alternatives for the experiments these young biology majors conduct in the lab. The labs are divided into independent research groups, and Sam has been an active participant in the daily functioning of his group and has contributed significantly to the experimental outcomes and discussions. He is very vocal, intelligent, and passionate about what he does and has all the hallmarks of being a good scientist. He is diligent, persistent, and very open to learning new concepts and techniques, and more importantly, he is interested in the applications of what he has learned. Sam also brings a lot of humor into the labs, and thanks to him, we find ourselves cracking up more often than not!"
