Like most Techers, Mario Zubia had his pick of the nation's top schools when he was applying to college. He was a gifted high school student, excelling in math and science. Deeply affected by his grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's (she was diagnosed with the disease when Zubia was in middle school), he became passionate about pursuing biology as a major, hoping to aid in the discovery of a cure. In other words, Zubia was the ideal Caltech applicant.
