Harvey Mudd Personal Statement

Upon starting my freshman year in high school, I had been in honors Biology, and it quickly became my least favorite subject. Biology was something I couldn’t understand, no matter how much

Attending Kennesaw State University has been a very rewarding journey. As a current senior in college, I have been given the chance to experience the University environment. An environment full of my interaction with my fellow classmates working in study groups and tutoring sessions. Also having the option to sit in on my professor's 2nd lecture that you did not understand fully during your class period.

DeVry University prides themselves on offering excellent, state of the art educational experiences to their students, which enable them to meet both their career and educational goals and prepare them for careers in their field of study (DEVRY UNIVERSITY MISSION AND PURPOSES, n.d.).

Although I have struggled through my first semester of college at a place I do not belong, I have been given the opportunity to take the time and figure out what I am looking for in a college. First, Skidmore is a small school. I would able to interact with my teachers and fellow students, rather than sit in a lecture hall with 200 students. I believe smaller class sizes are essential in my success. Another reason why Skidmore is a good match is because of the phenomenal science program and research opportunities offered. I am an aspiring Physician Assistant, and research will boost my resume while applying to Physician Assistant programs. Additionally, sports were a very significant aspect of my high school career. At Skidmore, I could have

Unlike many students who do not start pursuing their dream until college, Andrew has already taken several steps to begin his career in the biology field. Chatfield Senior High School prides itself in the amount of honors and AP classes it has to offer there students and Andrew has taken advantage of almost every single course that he could. Compared to most

The Integrated Life Sciences Honors program (ILS) is a distinguished two-year living-learning program for students with exceptional academic talents that focuses on preparing students in all aspects of biological research and biomedicine. ILS offers accelerated and advanced education in the life sciences while also emphasizing nationally recognized innovations to the training. Participating in ILS has allowed me to live and work closely with many intelligent and incredible peers, each bringing a different perspective. Furthermore, the unique approach and exclusive courses offered by ILS have helped me to develop a more holistic understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of the

The mission of Harvey Mudd College is to “educate engineers, scientists, and mathematicians well versed in all of these areas and in the humanities and the social sciences so that they may assume leadership in their fields with a clear understanding of the impact of their work on society.” The current vision of the college includes a focus on global engagement as well as innovation, leadership and interdisciplinary scholarship.

Most importantly, it has the major (Agricultural Science) that I want to take and study in. With an acceptance rate of 39%, it will be challenging to have a chance but I am willing to go through with it. Its location is also convenient that it is in Pomona, California. This school would be a good fit for my personal needs and career aspirations because it has the major I want, is locally efficient, and is one of the few universities that teaches students by having them do it themselves. I will pursue admission to this college and see where it leads me in the

it is a very prominent and successful school. I have also received my Bachelor of Science degree at

Through the years Strayer University has maintained its commitment to academic quality and its student success. Today,

I spent my previous summer at UChicago attending a summer American Law and Litigation class. Throughout my three weeks in Chicago I faced the greatest amount of academic rigor in my life. Our demanding homework and invigorating class discussions expanded my mental capacity every single time I walked into the classroom. Our assessments did not test us on the arbitrary regurgitation of random factoids, but rather our ability to critically think and analyze. UChicago’s commitment to educating the person is evident by my summer program as we didn't just learn the content of the class, but focused on invaluable skills of analysis and synthesis. UChicago is notorious for its workload and rigor, and that is exactly what I want. I experienced

Some may find that collage is the most suited of paths to take, many problems may exist, many questions in need of answering. With Fordham University and Full Sail University is a way to reach opportunities that may motivate, excel, and improve the future as a student, and as a working member of society. Fordham University can be a very impressive offer with its many majors, goals, and challenges that can be explored and viewed. Restrictions of certain G.P.A levels can be present and reviewed by the administration of both the schools, as well as the A.C.T. and S.A.T scores. There are in schools of Fordham and Full Sail University ways to break the walls of regulation by attending various scholarships the college’s offer, even the role that may have been placed in the community oriented groups like F.C.C.L.A or even ILC can be very beneficial. The location of both Fordham University and Full Sail University reside in heavy populated urban cities which may pose a problem with for example prices as well as the likelihood of being accepted may diminish. Each pro and con of the college’s of Fordham and Full Sail will always exist with the questions awaiting to be answered, by the goal students of the future wish to find in each school, and to understand the task they wish to meet in there journey within.

St. Mary’s has prepared me for high school like no other school could ever do. If it wasn't for all my amazing fun teachers I would not be attending Loyola

My interest in biology was evident from a young age, as some of my favorite memories are from time spent at the Discovery Place, interacting with the displays of animals and plants. In middle school, I qualified to attend a Duke TIP Summer Studies Course focused on biochemistry. As a part of the three-week course, I was introduced to lab techniques for the first time at Davidson College. I chose DNA cloning as my final project for the course and explored various contemporary cloning methods. At NCSSM, I have participated in many new opportunities that fuel my interest. This past trimester I took a molecular genetics course, which provided me with a strong understanding of DNA and the processes involving protein-synthesis. The labs we performed

My goal is to find a school that fits me and allows me to build upon the foundation that I gained at Northside College Prep. When I visited the Cornell campus it immediately felt like a good fit for me. Attending Cornell will allow me to pursue biology and art, take rigorous classes, form bonds with professors, feel at home in a close-knit environment, and allow me to focus on one class at a time. I think Cornell will provide me with the tools that I need to realize my goal of being a doctor while still pursuing my love of art.
