Brandeis University • Class of 2027
Junior Biochemistry student at Brandeis University with a 3.90 GPA and Dean's List recognition every semester. Eagle Scout. Pre-med track with hands-on lab, teaching, and research experience. Driven by science, healthcare, and a genuine commitment to serving others.
I'm Jack Berry, a junior at Brandeis University pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry on a pre-med track. I've earned Dean's List recognition every semester with a cumulative 3.90 GPA — including a perfect 4.0 in Fall 2025 — and I bring the same dedication to the lab bench, the library desk, and the classroom.
Last summer I served as a Teaching Assistant for Organic Chemistry I and II at Brandeis, supporting both classroom and lab sections — helping students through one of the most demanding courses in the pre-med curriculum. I currently work as a Library Assistant on campus and am actively engaged in undergraduate research.
I'm an Eagle Scout — the highest rank in Scouting, earned by fewer than 4% of all Scouts — a distinction that reflects years of leadership, service, and perseverance. That foundation shapes how I approach everything: with commitment, follow-through, and a genuine drive to serve others.
Deep coursework in organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, and physics — building a strong foundation for the MCAT and medical school.
