Margaret Beck
University of Florida
I am a native Floridian and entered St. Petersburg College while in high school. I recently graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Biology and am applying to joint MD/JD programs. College writing experiences range from formulating student legislative briefs to preparing medical research for regional conferences. My writing reflects interests in conservative politics, health issues, and Israel advocacy.
When not spending time on endless grad school applications, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and drinking good coffee.

Affirmative Action Should Be Ruled Unconstitutional
February 27, 2012
Today, minorities hold political office, work at high-paying jobs, and attend universities. The racial discrimination that previously existed has long since been banished to the darker chapters of our nation’s history. Affirmative action is no longer necessary.
