I Want To Attend IUPUI Honors College

The Honors College at ECU should admit an exceptional students such as myself because I consider my education to be the paramount element for my success in the near future. Although I am a student athlete I never forsake my education for my sport, track, because I know that my sport will only take me as far as a scholarship to ECU but won't be of much help after that. As I consider my education above my sport, I tutor my team mates in math because that's what they have a hard time understanding. Not only do I tutor but my teammates and I also volunteer around the community by raking leaves and shoveling snow during the fall and winter which helps us out if they would like to support the team with a donation. I like to hold myself to a higher

Broad perspective is critical. Without it, opportunities and possibilities are greatly limited. The Honors College is not simply a place to gain perspective, but also a place to provide perspective to others. Interdisciplinary academics, leadership development, undergraduate research, and community & global experiences are the tenets of the Honors College. My experiences are closely aligned to these views; therefore, I feel I can contribute my own

Before I started my first semester of college I made sure that my academic and career goals were set to avoid indecisiveness. One of my intellectual objectives has always been to be a part of the honors college. Deep in my heart I know I have what it takes to be in an organization of students that excel with integrity. Furthermore, the benefits that come along with being a student within the honors college can assist me with getting through my scholastic agenda which includes internships, scholarships and honorary mentions.

I have decided to apply to UNCW Honors College to excel in my studies and help me further my education. Being a part of the Honors College will help me in the future, as I plan to attend medical school. This is my second time applying to the UNCW Honors College. I am now a sophomore who has worked very hard to obtain good grades and a good GPA. My hard work has paid off as I made the Dean’s list this year. An expectation I hope to gain when being a part of the Honors College, is the one on one learning experience. In high school, I was enrolled in all AP courses, which were very small classes. I hope to have the same advantage in the honors courses. I also want to be in a group of all similar academic standings. In high school, I was in National

I feel like this would be an opportunity to expand in depth in my discipline, as well as learn in a small classroom setting. Through the honors college curriculum, I feel like I have an advantage over my peers because of the unique quality of classes available to me. The opportunity to take these unique classes would make me into a more well rounded student, more understanding of the problems and challenges regarding the discipline that I choose to study. I am certain that the UIC honors college is a perfect fit for me because it fulfills my goal of undergraduate research, as well as enriching my undergraduate

Joining the Honors College will develop my authenticity, not in the sense that I will be a more honest person, but rather, that I will know more about myself and have better reasoning behind my beliefs. The challenging course load that Honors Students face requires a deeper level of reflection. Students must not only know the material, but have a solid foundation behind it. This forces students to question their worldly views, resulting in a reformed person both socially and academically. Striving for a deeper understanding requires my views to constantly evolve.

I know that taking honors next year is going to require more work and effort than taking an A level class, but I am more than willing to do it. I know that I can put in the effort both outside of school and in school to achieve success, because I understand the importance of hard work and care about doing well in school. As I have demonstrated this year, I always try to do my best and almost always complete assignments on time. So although taking honors will require a time commitment, I am willing to put in the extra

At IU, I plan to not only find what I want to major in, but also make a difference. Volunteering is something I love to do, so either joining a sorority or a community service club is something I know I will do while attending this school. Another reason I knew I wanted

Honors courses always pose a threat to the lives of high school students. They threaten the free time a student may have, they threaten their emotional and mental state, they threaten a student's motivation and drive, and they threaten a student’s will to keep going on. Honors courses, and in this year's case, AP Literature courses stress and frustrate students nearly to the breaking point. Taking a class like this is a legitimate test and testament of a students will. A course like this can make a student produce quality work and other times it can cause a student to not perform at their best. After taking honors courses and advanced classes since about sixth grade, it's safe to assume that I am a dedicated and hardworking student. But like

For me the Honors Program means so much more than six simple letters, Honors represents students who are driven, passionate and have integrity. Throughout my life I have followed my moral compass and constantly strive to better myself each and every day. Looking back I remember a specific event during fourth grade that will forever impacted how I approach tasks in life. I was working until 1:00 AM on a project, tears rolling down my cheeks, as I tried to make it absolutely perfect. The next day we turned the assignment in and everyone got ten points for having it done. I was incredibly disappointed but it was at that moment I realized that the choice I made and the effort I put into the assignment was for myself, for my learning and not

Though this dream seems out of reach due to the complexity of the problems, I do very much believe that through persistence in my academics and climbing my intellectual ladder, that I can reach this dream. Like most high-school graduates, we know that persistence can not stop after graduating high-school or college, but persistence is sometimes abandoned during the summer months in order to relax. I have continued to follow my passion as I continue to read books about mathematics and re-studying integral and differential calculus. Joining the Honors Program would be the continuation of this persistence, as it will push me closer to my dreams and

Indiana University is one of the only colleges that I desire to go to in Indiana. When I first drove up to IU though, I didn’t know what to expect, but when I got there I saw that the property was breath taking. Before going to IU, all other campuses seemed dull and not right for me, but the area was truly one in a million, and I fell in love. The person that also walked me around IU’s trail was hilarious, and he easily explained to me the interesting facts about the campus. Stories about how IU accidently got Purdue’s bricks, shaking the hand of Herman B Wells, and also kissing your loved one under the Rose Well House at midnight. The quaint feeling that IU gave off was homey and it felt like a community.

Throughout high school, I challenged myself by taking multiple AP and Honors courses each year. While it was gratifying to succeed in the higher-level classes, some of the courses did not end up being a great fit for me, but I always pushed through until the end of the year and strived to complete the course with grace. The ups and downs in each class taught me my strengths and weaknesses as a student – for example, fast paced Math and Science courses aren’t my forte, but I love to be involved in thought provoking debates during English class. The Renée Crown Honors Program interests me because it emphasizes an intellectually stimulating and supportive community.

Through all four years of high school, I’ve been part of the International Baccalaureate program at my high school, which is very similar to the Honors Program - both are small programs for motivated, highly involved students within a larger student body. My experiences as part of the IB community have been instrumental in my development as a student and as a person. Being surrounded by brilliant, curious peers had made me question my own opinions, work harder, and achieve more than I would have otherwise, and I want to be part of the Engineering Honors Program so that I can continue that intellectual growth in college. From my experiences in high school, I know that I would thrive in the environment offered by the Honors Program, perhaps to an even greater extent than I did in the IB program (since the Honors Program is a residential program as well as an academic

When I was first accepted into the Honors Program I was not quite sure what I was getting myself into. Knowing that they held high expectations for me was only one of the few things they had in mind, but why me? Going through our first two days of orientation the nerves that had filled up my stomach had slowly departed and I felt more confident in my surroundings. My first day of the seminar was definitely not what I expected, which made me very thrilled to hear! I knew that us, being the first cohort for this program, were in for something very memorable.
