About
My name is Bridget Ott and I am a current student at the University of Arizona. I am a Pre-Med student who is majoring in Pre-Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. I graduated from Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Arizona on May 22, 2014. My weighted GPA was a 4.73 on a 4.00 scale. While attending high school, I took enough Dual Enrollment courses to earn both an Associates Degree in the Arts and an Associates Degree in the Sciences from Rio Salado Community College. Throughout high school, I danced for both the Desert Vista Dance Company and the Soul Shock Dance Company at Phoenix Dance Cooperative.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My post-college goals include going to medical school and then becoming either a psychiatrist, a neuroscientist, or a neurosurgeon. I would like to study the brains of the mentally ill and ideally find a way for patients to handle their illnesses that does not involve so much medication.
- Graduate school interests
After college I am interested in attending medical school, particularly the medical school at John Hopkins University.
- Outside the classroom
One hobby that I am very passionate about is dancing. I danced competitively as a member of the Soul Shock Dance Company at Phoenix Dance Cooperative for four years. Unfortunately, I could not dance competitively during my senior year of high school due to the spinal fusion surgery I had in July 2013. However, after I was fully recovered, I returned to the studio to take some recreational dance classes.
