Studying Medicine has always been a dream for Rahaf. Rahaf says that studying medicine and becoming a doctor is a job filled with mercy. She chose to study medicine because it is a humanitarian profession where you get to help people. Her passion and aptitude for science subjects also led her towards Medicine, and she scored an 800 in her Maths SAT test. Rahaf also ranked first in her school among the students of her batch, scoring an overall of 99.8%.
