Syracuse University Personal Statement

It is without a doubt, attending Rutgers University brings prestige to your name, and distinguishes you from the competition. With over two hundred and fifty years of rich history, Rutgers has been proudly represented by alumni as they continue into their career paths. Dating back to 1766 when Rutgers was first established, notable Rutgers alumni through the years have ranged from politicians such as Elizabeth Warren or Chris Christie to businessmen like David Stern, or even athletes such as Carli Lloyd. It is without a doubt, that Rutgers provides exceptional education as seen through what these alumni have been able to achieve. It is due to the combination of history and high level of education that I believe will help me achieve my career goals.

As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.

My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of ‘Bottlecappers,’ a club advocating anti-drug, alcohol, and bullying to younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they have shaped me to be the young adult I am today.

In my highschool career I spent most of my time at the pool as a swim instructor and lifeguard and surprisingly this was what showed me that caring for children was my passion. By working with these kids and learning how to care for them it only gave me more confidence in my decision to become a pediatrician.This and my personal experience with children really opened my eyes to how what I truly wanted to do going into college was right in front of me. I plan to major in Biology and have a minor in Psychology.UNC Wilmington has an excellent Biology program that I would love to take a part of. Going this to university would be a fantastic opportunity because it is known for its diversity, affordability, and highly ranked programs. When I found UNCW I thought It would be a perfect fit for me.

In 1993, I was awarded a full scholarship to the prestigious Music School at Ithaca

I want from my college experience is to become a biomedical engineer and to become a better person of great character. At WSU, I want to take any type of class that will help me become knowledgeable to become a biomedical engineer. I am determined to use any type of resources WSU can provide me, to achieve my goal. I also want to join any type of club/organization to improve on how to be leader, a team player and to help others. I have learned from high school how to become a leader, a team player and how to help others. I want to better improve my qualities, learn from others, and improve my knowledge at WSU.

Collecting my belongings and putting them into my bag, I felt exhausted. I had tried my hardest but I didn’t know if my hardest was good enough for the college qualifications. Getting into college was one of the most important things to me. I dreamed all my life of getting accepted into a great college, and increasing my education to become something I love. I always strived for success in school, and I was always being complimented for my work of ethic. I believe that college is my path to a great

When I think of NYU happiness because it makes me know that students of different cultures and religions can come together as one culture within itself, as an African Muslim woman all you want is to feel like you're part of a community.That's what I love about NYU,I feel you can be with someone else that's not the same as who you are yet you're able to share the same passion or compatibilities with that person.Living in the city area makes it even better because there are vast amount of opportunities that you wouldn't get anywhere else. At NYU they embellish on who you are and how you can contribute to helping the world to become a better place united as one. When I went to the open house ,once I saw the building and atmosphere I could see myself at NYU Tisch. At Tisch I hope to perceive things differently. As a writer it brings me the best of excitement because all I ever wanted to do was write, imagine and act .It takes a lot for a school to be this diverse, social and educated rigorously with great academics and still make people feel like they are welcome as a community.

“CLANG!” The cell door slammed open, snapping me from my dazed state. Two years ago, I was intoxicated to the point that I fell asleep on the basketball courts adjacent to my apartment, was arrested, and in the process of that arrest, ignored the lawful requests of the arresting officers. That night and the following morning I found myself alone in a cell with nothing but thoughts of incredulity, self-disappointment, and regret running through my mind as my future at Clemson University remained in question. In the morning, as I was being processed, one key idea, like a lighthouse’s beacon, flashed through my mind; that I was solely responsible for my decisions and the consequences they wrought. This is a fact of life that we are all taught from birth, but it was one I never fully appreciated until there were real-world consequences. That realization,

Throughout my high school career, I've participated in a plethora of extracurricular activities. My freshman and sophomore year I ran track and field at my school and a club. In addition during those years, I participated in Speech and Debate. For 6 months of my junior year, I was a tutor for middle school students at Breakthrough SF. Also during my 11th-grade year, I started going to a life-skills program called Omega Boys Club in which I still attend weekly. All four years of my high school career I have been apart of the Black Student Union, and two of the years I have been the president. As of right now, I am in the process of starting my own community organization call Dream Big Scholars to mentor, tutor, and enrich middle school students

When I think of college I picture a beginning to the rest of my life. I want a school that will teach me how to be successful in both life and my career. A place that I can look back in life and think I made the right choice for me.

During my first year at UIC, I had joined a few clubs and organizations on campus but it wasn’t until my second year that I had an overwhelming number of commitments where I had various jobs that included: research assistant in the Department of Chemistry, hospital volunteer at MacNeal, General Office Assistant at UIC’s College of Medicine, board member for the Honor’s College at UIC, and undergraduate student at UIC. I often felt as if I was running around between all these different activities and realized one day that I played a very unique, distinct role in each of the positions I

I have been practicing piano for 10 years. General sound and organized sound has always found its way of affecting me- not just aurally but also theoretically, physically, and psychology. I had been studying music theory, music history, and composition at Jacksonville State University (JSU) for several years. Of course, with historical approaches to musical styles or studying a historical approaches in general, you notice patterns. You notice patterns of thoughts, techniques, interpolations of ideas, and the resumption of musical transformation. Music is a product of people, their eras, and the contexts in which they lived and worked. You may see how the Roman Catholic church discouraged the use of secular melodies as source

In all honesty, it was not until last week when a stark white envelope was delivered to my house with my name printed in the top left corner that I would have considered myself to be an honors student. Prior to this moment, I had believed I was merely doing what was expected of me. Report cards littered with A’s and B’s kept mom and dad happy. I participated in clubs that brought joy to my life, introduced me to the people who are now some of my best friends, and allowed me to discover a passion for performing. I worked two jobs to help put food on the table during some rough times which taught me to tackle problems head on and allowed me to give back to my family. I’ve been fortunate for the opportunities I’ve had throughout my high school career; I value deeply what I have learned and the growth I’ve experienced, but I had never taken a moment to examine the true weight of what I was doing. My white envelope moment changed the way I thought. Throughout this past week, I have reflected on the qualities that separate me from any ordinary student and have determined that it is my grit and resilience that have catapulted me on to the path of the SNHU honors program.

York University is home to students and professors from all over the globe. To obtain a degree here would be a significant accomplishment because of the knowledge and experience I would achieve. The Human Resource Management program allows students to enhance their education while gaining knowledge of the world. This would inspire me to achieve my ambitions and steer me towards my disires. My goal for the future is to travel while helping people in a positive work environment. The HR program will encourage me to learn another language, which will allow me to travel while putting my degree to use. Cinema and Media Studies was my major in 2015, by minoring in it, I would continue to pursue knowledge in that creative atmosphere. Although my aspiration for the future is ongoing, I believe I’ll be able to acquire and display my creativity and knowledge, positively in an academic
