Reflection: Would you like to attend here? Why? Why not? 

I would like to attend this school because when I grow up I want to study to be a physician and a surgeon. This medical school of harvard studies on surgeries and physicians so it's a perfect fit for me. But then I do not know because I have a scholarship for UCLA and Cal State Northridge. These two schools are two of the best schools out there. I really don't know what school I would attend right now. I need to do a lot of thinking. But Harvard Medical School is also a really good school so I would probably attend to this school as well if I get accepted.
