I am interested in attending the Elmhurst College STEM Academy because I believe that it would help me both get a better understanding of college life, and whether or not I would like to pursue a STEM career. At this time, I’m interested in majoring in either psychology with a focus in behavioral neuroscience, or either astrophysics or astrobiology and I’d like to be able to do research in the respective field I decide to go into. I have always thoroughly enjoyed both mathematics and science, which is why I’m considering pursuing a STEM career and participating in this summer program. I would like to advance my knowledge of algebra, biology, and chemistry through this program, and also further my understanding of physics, technology, and engineering.
