Hello everyone! Congratulations on your acceptance to Penn and welcome to the Class of 2029! My name is Yash Rajpal, and I am from Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, about an hour West of Philly. I am a rising junior studying Bioengineering and Biophysics on the premed track. I also plan to minor in Public Policy and Chemistry! I am part of the VIPER program, meaning that I am a student in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. VIPER is a program that specializes students studying energy research and funds internships for its students for at least two summers. On campus, I am involved in the the Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT), Access Engineering, the Netter Center, research, and the Student Committee on Undergraduate Education (SCUE). I’ve had some experience in applying to clubs, emailing professors, and choosing specific classes, so feel free to reach out to me about anything from registration to general questions about Penn!
