In today's episode, I chat with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute student Sheetal Bapu. She is currently a rising junior in the Accelerated Physician-Scientist program and majors in biology. She's glad to escape the Northern California heat as she's spending her summer at Albany Medical Center conducting research at the Stephens Lab. Apart from her aspirations to become a physician, she manages two competitive, self-arranged A Cappella groups at RPI and loves to sing anything from Bollywood music to Indie Pop. Like many others, she is a big fan of sunsets and puppies!

Listen to today's episode to her about her experience trying to complete college and medical school in only 7 years and the advice she has for other students who know they want to become a doctor.
