"I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and was named the Arizona Interscholastic Association Student of the Year. I obtained my BS in Medical Studies from Arizona State University, graduating summa cum laude and defending an honors thesis to graduate from Barrett, the Honors College at ASU. I scored a 521 on the MCAT (approximately 98th percentile) and was accepted to Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. While in medical school, I passed USMLE Step 1 on the first try and scored a 273 on USMLE Step 2 (approximately 97th percentile). I am currently applying to for an orthopedic surgery residency position.
