I'm officially part of the SEP Program

I am excited about everything that SEP has to offer. I’m glad that I have the opportunity to participate in this program, especially considering that the classes that we are supposed to be taking this summer are the same as some of the classes that I am taking in fall, which will allow me to get a leg up. Also, they cover key core topics that are necessary to do well on the MCAT which is my main objective. I am also looking forward to the networking opportunities I will be afforded through the various seminars I have seen on the calendar.

Besides academics, the dorms are really nice! The beds are lofted, which was an adjustment because it is a lot higher than I thought it was going to be. My roommate seems nice so far. I’m looking forward to getting to know her better. She actually goes to school in the same area I do, which is cool, I guess. The other scholars seem nice as well. Most of them attend different universities throughout the state (North Carolina), and there are a few out of state students as well. There actually are not any students from my school participating in the program, which is not a bad thing, as it allows me to meet different people. I will say I was surprised that quite a few scholars already knew people in the program. Most are from either their schools or their home towns.

I’m optimistic about everything to come. I’m sure that it will be hard work, but I think overall this summer will be fun.
