Hi! My name is Emily Cushing. I am a freshman from Syosset, NY majoring in Biology on the Pre-Medicine track. After Ohio State, I plan on entering the medical field as a pediatrician after obtaining my MD. I cannot wait to be involved on campus as much as I was involved in high school. In school, I was the vice-president of my A cappella club, lead soloist in my chamber choir and literary editor for my school blog. I went to All-County numerous times for voice and was honored to be selected for the All-State Choir. In addition to singing, I also volunteered at my local children’s hospital for two years, which was an amazing experience that actually led me in the direction of becoming a pediatrician. This year I had the pleasure of being a medical records scanner for the Medical Oncology Associates of Long Island doctors office. I’m thrilled to be in the Health Science Scholars program where I am sure that my passion for medicine will continue to grow. When I am not studying, I enjoy going to the beach and going to the movies with friends.
