Hello everyone,
I would like to inform you that, there is a good chance I will leave The Ohio State University for the University of Maryland. Out of state tuition accumulation after year one will be insane. I don’t want to go to medical school with a lot of debt from undergrad. There were a few times in the academic year, I felt unwelcomed on campus. I envision myself being a physician-scientist (MD-PhD or DO-PhD) and having many degrees. Including assets. A huge amount of debt will complicate my future. As a black male, that is one of the many challenges I have to face in the United States. UMD is a large PWI like OSU. The difference will be, the in-state tuition, home field advantage, and I know people on campus already. It is a very familiar environment. It will be a different experience, racism and discrimination will always exist on some level. To be a world renown physician-scientist, that is something I have to overcome. These were thoughts I had for several weeks now and I have pondered them very deeply. I am grateful for the bonds I have created at The Ohio State University. It will be something I will remember for the rest of life. I have also created a Twitter moment that has many tweets, videos, and pictures throughout my first year at The Ohio State University. Since we met, my life has changed a lot. I know I want to revolutionize the field of medicine with my interests in cybersecurity, quantum mechanics, natural medicine, alternative medicine, integrative medicine, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, mathematics, neuroscience, data analytics, medical physics, and spirituality. Moreover, I have received an opportunity to apply for the University of Kentucky Medical Education Development Summer Program (UKMED). Currently, I am a tutor for Grade Potential Tutoring. I tutor biology, chemistry, consumer computer software, pre-algebra, algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, and pre-calculus. Furthermore, I have applied for 6 opportunities at Johns Hopkins. Last month, I have also won an award, premedical student of the week from Diverse Medicine. I am determined to become a great physician.

Hi Shiraz, University of Maryland is lucky to have you! I again am so sorry to hear that you had to deal with such difficult issues during your first year. I am glad to see that you are thinking ahead- limiting your debt now will help out loads in the long run. I am confident you will have so many new opportunities to explore at UMD
