Personal Statement

Hi my name is Bhumika Iroji and I am currently an undergrad at Cornell University studying biological engineering after doing my freshman year of college at UC Berkeley, where I got an 100%+ in Calculus and a 97%+ in Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Organic Chemistry. My qualifications: I took AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus AB, Precalculus, Algebra 2, and Trigonometry at a competitive Bay Area high school when I was a student, and got an A in the classes as well as a 5 on all of the AP tests. I was also an AP Bio TA, where I set up labs, held review sessions for students, going over test-taking strategies and gaining an appreciation for AP Biology’s curriculum and structure. I know how to specifically study for the exams in these classes since I have taken them very recently. As I said earlier, I did my freshman year of college at UC Berkeley, where I took more advanced coursework like Organic Chemistry and Linear Algebra + Differential Equations, ending with a 97+ in both, which has added to my knowledge in the classes I plan to teach. I additionally had over a 100% in Calculus at UC Berkeley. I was also my high school’s Science Olympiad captain in my senior year and won multiple state medals in Forensics, going on to write Science Olympiad Invitational exams in college.
