Hi! My name is Analynn Gibson, and I am a junior philosophy major with a minor in bioethics and health humanities. I applied only to Kent State, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. I spent my senior year of high school as a full-time College Credit Plus student at Kent State University at Tuscarawas. I walked into my high school a total of three times the whole year. I chose Kent State because my parents own a house only a few minutes away from the Tuscarawas campus, allowing me to jump-start my college career. In order to fulfill the philosophy requirements, I later moved to t...
"Participating in research helped me build key skills and discover the link between psychology and medicine, shaping my path from Biochemistry & Psychology major to MD candidate at NEOMED."
