After pulling a LeBron and waiting until the last day to decide, I have chosen to go back to Columbus to attend the Ohio State University College of Medicine this fall. It was a tough choice, I was torn between the University of Cincinnati, the University of Virginia, and Ohio State for a long time. Each school had a lot to offer but in the end I followed my gut instinct from my interview day and chose Ohio State. I am really excited about the opportunities awaiting me at OSU including the ultrasound training program, robust global health program, and the many free clinics that students have the opportunity to volunteer in. I will also be able to continue gymnastics in Columbus because Ohio State also has a club team! I am really looking forward to going to Columbus to explore both Ohio State and the city!
While in medical school, I hope to pursue my interest in pediatrics, emergency medicine, and global health. I am not sure how all of those will factor into my residency choice or my career but that's where I plan to start exploring! I am a little nervous for the workload, I have heard analogies comparing the workload to drinking out of a fire hose, but I am sure that I will be able to succeed because I will have the support of my family and friends. I am also a little worried that I will get over-involved like I have during my undergraduate education. But those are problems that future Charles will deal with when the time comes!
