Summary

I am applying to John Monash Science College because I plan to pursue medicine upon completing my secondary education and, based on my research, it will provide a much better pathway to medicine. Because John Monash is a science school, its science program is much stronger than my previous school's which is both preferable to me and will be extremely beneficial.,
