What I hope to do after graduation:
After graduation, I plan on going to graduate school to try and earn a doctorate degree in chemistry.
How Macalester has prepared me:
Macalester has prepared me for this by teaching me what chemistry is about and for allowing me to earn a bachelor's degree in chemistry. Without getting my undergraduate degree, I would never have been able to apply to graduate schools for the opportunity to try and earn a Ph.D.
