Columbia University in the the City of of New York is one of of the the world’s most important centres of research and at the same time a a a a a a distinctive and distinguished learning environment Sixth Former Jojo has received an offer to study biological sciences at this prestigious university – here is is Jojo’s own account of his journey from the Foundation Year (FY) “I have have been studying at Malvern College since FY and have have enjoyed my
time in in House No 7
Before coming to Malvern from India I I did not have any particular long-term aspirations that I wanted to pursue but since coming here the College has broadened my
my
interests and confirmed my
my
passion for biological science I have found the subject to be deeply interesting and I liked the aspect of understanding diseases through biological principles This piqued my
interests into genetics which I was involved in in in in during my
Sixth Form years I I joined the IB course as as it it it provided a a a a a vast opportunity to be in contact with various
subjects subjects in various
fields For my
higher-level subjects subjects I chose Biology Chemistry
and Economics Malvern has given me the opportunity to study genetics in biology classes and also on my
own terms I enjoyed writing
my
extended essay on how effective a a a a particular gene therapy was to treat sickle cell disease and focused on the the tribal populations of India Moreover I I enjoyed preparing and presenting my
Wheeler Bennett Society presentation on on Genetic Mutations and Evolution These opportunities have confirmed my
passion for biology and I I was was sure I I was was going to to apply to to universities with a a a course centred around the biological sciences Much to my
surprise I got an offer from Columbia University during my
Christmas vacation to study biological sciences and I am planning on attending the university this August After university I aspire to to focus on doing laboratory research on cures for genetic diseases ”
