MOTIVATED. AMBITIOUS. ENTHUSIASTIC.

“Try to get involved in research early on to gain practical lab experience as well as a better understanding of how research actually works. In doing so you get to work with graduate students and learn more from them and you also get to know the professors in the department better.”
