Academic Plan
In the event that my petition is granted, I am confident that I will successfully manage the 4-course, equivalent to 12.0 credit load while studying abroad at UAB. To achieve academic success, I plan to implement a structured approach to my studies, including diligent time management, early preparation for assignments and exams, and regular check-ins with professors and academic advisors. While studying abroad, I understand the importance of balancing academics with cultural immersion, and I will prioritize maintaining a steady work-life balance. In the case of any unforeseen challenges, I will utilize available resources such as the university’s academic support services and stay in regular communication with my professors to ensure I stay on track. I am committed to maximizing this unique academic opportunity and believe this approach will help me succeed in this demanding academic setting. Furthermore, my ultimate goal is to attend medical school, and this experience will enrich my education by providing me with a deeper understanding of global health disparities, intercultural communication, and effective people management, skills that are critical in the medical field. I am excited for this opportunity and to bring and use my knowledge back at Queen's in the Life Sciences program.
