Guo, from Tianjin, China, is a Biochemistry and German major and economics minor. Next spring, he plans to go to Tuebingen University, in southern Germany. "Hopefully, I can take some biochemistry courses (I'm very interested in a plant physiology course) and certainly some German history and literature courses, all of which will be taught in German," says Guo.

Guo says he is hoping to work in a biochemistry lab during the spring semester and on into the summer.
