1) Answer the Prompt Directly: 

Describe how the intended CNS major would impact achievement of your educational and career goals.

I want to major in Nutrition because it not only reiterates the science subjects such as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry but it also provides a different perspective on approaching oral hygiene problems.

2) Brain Dump Potential Content:

• Integrate nutrition and dentistry

• Educating future patients on how their dietary choices affect oral hygiene

• Having knowledge on how specific content can help with dentistry (different types of enzymes/functions of the body that relate to dentistry)

• Briefly mention my anecdote

• Didn’t do too well academically due to the drawback of the illness

• Mention that I am about halfway done with the degree (via IDA)

• Mention courses that are helpful(career)/interesting (education) that I’ll be taking

• Mention how the major includes pre-reqs for dental school

3) Organize:

• Introduction: Include thesis (argument of consideration) (start with anecdote) (reason for being undeclared, transition to decision of nutrition) BE ORGANIC

• Body 1: Educational Goals (anecdote/student first (short term) (Personal) (Mention prof. in NTR program, specific aspects of the program) (Possibly split into two paragraphs) (Mention degree audit) (mention grades affected by illness) (Maybe transition with illness/grades)

• Body 2: Career Goals (how will NTR help later on) (Possibly start with short term-long term (Pre-Dental), NTR + Dental (science courses/content of the program)

• Conclusion: How they’ll further/help with success in dentistry (mention different approach/perspective), Representing UT, What will I do for the program (what can I bring to the program), (not a requirement to reference intro.), Why should I be considered?
