Exploration and Collaboration

Hanjun Lee SB '24
The thought of applying to MIT had never occurred to me until I had the privilege of representing South Korea at the 49th International Chemistry Olympiad. There, I heard so many different stories from people with so many different backgrounds, all converging towards the same enthusiasm towards science. I thought Biology was all about rote memorization, and I was planning to be a course 5 student. But 7.03 Genetics single-handedly shifted my major from Chemistry to Biology. I really appreciate how much effort MIT professors really put into their teaching. Course 7 is about understanding the mechanisms and logic of evolution, finding the right problem to better the lives of others, and being creative and collaborative to solve that problem.
