Neuroscience

Hi everyone! My name is Raymond, and I’m a senior at Harvard College studying Neuroscience on the Mind, Brain, and Behavior track. I’m from Pittsburgh, PA, and I live in Currier House—the best house at the College! At Harvard, I’m involved with the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, and research at the Boston Children’s Hospital. In my free time, I like playing ultimate frisbee, going on hikes and nature walks with my camera, and hanging out with my friends. As a first-generation student, applying to college felt like navigating uncharted waters. The support of my friends, family, and mentors helped me along the way, and we hope to help you!
