  • Favorite Class and Why: Intro to Finance. I really liked this class because it helps you learn the basics of financial terminology and basic financial calculations. It gives you the confidence to be able to look at a company’s financials (balance sheets, income statements, etc.) and understand what is going on. It was also a great change of pace from the rest of my pre-med classes which were heavily STEM. Highly recommend it for anyone who thinks they might be interested in business in addition to medicine.
  • Extracurriculars: Research Lab: Working on researching the effects of alcohol on brain circuits (specifically how it affects astrocytes in the dorsal striatum), Volunteer EMT, American Medical Students Association (AMSA) Co-President, Volunteers Around the World (VAW) Finance Chair
  • More About Me:

    Hey I’m Arnav. I’m a pre-med majoring in Cell Biology and Neuroscience. I’m currently involved in research, working with a postdoc mentor to study how alcohol affects astrocyte calcium signaling in specific brain regions. I also volunteer as an EMT with my local EMS squad, which has been an incredible hands-on experience. Outside of extracurriculars and academics, I’m really into history, especially ancient civilizations, and I’m a big PC gamer. I also love picking up random hobbies. For example, in the past, I’ve collected sneakers, learned balisong tricks, and even ran a small eBay business. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about starting research at Rutgers, becoming an EMT, joining pre-med clubs, or any other general pre-med inquiries!
