Hello, members of the Dahlias in the DMV! My name is Sienna Williams, and I am applying to medical school this cycle to matriculate in 2025. I graduated from MIT in 2023 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, minor in Computer Science, and having completed the Pre-Medical requirements. My goal career is to become an astronaut and a physician to equip myself with the skills to provide medical care to myself and my fellow astronauts in space, and hopefully be a part of the first missions to Mars in the 2030s!

I applied for fee assistance through the AAMC (American Association of Medical Colleges), but was unfortunately denied as I was just shy of the cutoff. The expenses for applying to medical school total approximately $2500 ($670 for the MCAT, $170 for the first application, $40 * 11 for each additional school, and $100 * 12 for the secondary to each school). I would greatly appreciate your assistance with this cost as it will significantly lessen the financial burden on my family. Thank you so much!
