I
have been at Bangkok Patana for 10 years (including this year). At school I have been a part of the Plastic Swima-Thon, part of a CAS project last year.
I have received offers from Cornell, Drexel, University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, University of Bath and University of Leeds. I am going to accept my offer from Cornell University to study Chemical Engineering as I plan to go into the pharmaceutical industry in the future- particularly the manufacturing of drugs and medicines.
