My Obligation To AU: Personal Statement

If selected for admission, I plan to take advantage of IMSA’s unique learning opportunities by working diligently in all of my classes, joining clubs and teams to learn from my peers, and participating in Student Inquiry and Research to satisfy my curiosity and allow for more independent work. I come from a small high school with approximately one hundred students per class. Funding is a constant problem and learning opportunities are thus very limited. I’ve attempted to take as many science and math classes as possible, as well as world history, foreign language, and an advanced English course, but I still do not feel challenged. My school has done what it can to enhance my learning experience, but my math and science classes aren’t quite

I am writing this appeal letter to inform you of the circumstances that have held me back from being the best student that I can be, over the last two terms. The my first term at AIU was in the spring of 2015. I began the term off doing well, I was achieving A’s and B’s. Then after achieving such great grades my luck turned for the worst. I became ill and then shortly after the fact my father became very ill.

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

My career commitment as a nurse has grown tremendously over the past three years; through my daily experiences as a Medical Assistant. I have devoted my time as a full time student and employee of the health care profession. Both of these occupations have helped shape me into the person I want to be for as long as time allows. Daily I witness these community role models that posses abilities such as problem solving skills, promotion and protection of an individual’s advocacy all tied in with compassion to meet the health care needs of an individual.

Now for my appeal. There were a couple of factors that contributed to my late FAFSA application. I entrusted my father to help me through the process of completing FAFSA but due to complications with my mental health and household problems, I was unable to complete

I am writing to you to appeal the Financial Aid Status I am currently placed under. Although you may not know me, if you look back at my grade history, this is not the student I am. I am a student who strives to work hard, and to do the ultimate best of my abilities. I usually beat myself up over homework and test grades. Throughout my career at Minot State University, my GPA never fell below a 3.70, I have been on the Dean’s/President’s Honor Roll since Fall of 2015. The only problem semester I have had previously was my first semester as a Freshman, and that was all about how I adjusted to college. After that first semester; I have only strived to reach my goals, and have worked tremendously

I discovered Loma Linda University School of Medicine through a friend who urged me to apply knowing how much of a devout Christian I am. I am aware that LLUSM educates its students in the teachings of Christ, and teaches them to heal patients and make man whole as Christ did. This in itself requires an understanding of Christianity and its application to medicine as a career. As a future medical student, I recognize that I will be required to act according to these Christian ideals, a privilege that I look forward to. I admire LLUSM due to its ability to spread love to its patients and inform them of Christ’s ministry. I wholeheartedly agree with the philosophy; healing a patient is much more than treating the symptoms.

The qualities that attract me to LSA are the vast amount of career opportunities stemming from the subjects available to major in. It is the largest of University of Michigan's schools and offers an extreme amount of variety. I am highly interested in technology and computers and the courses that LSA provides. I have two sisters who are involved in University of Michigan's LSA program and, based on what I have witnessed and what they have said, it is a hard, but fulfilling school. Due to the high intensity of this undergraduate college, career options will open up. Companies who are looking for undergraduate students or students after graduation know that kids from LSA are well prepared and educated to perform the job requirements that they

Recently, my appeal for more financial aid has been rejected. While this is a disappointment, I would like to further explain my situation as to why I am asking for more financial help. While I first started the college process, I was engaged and eager to finally step out of my comfort zone. After researching Ithaca for the past years and visiting during accepted students day, I knew that Ithaca College was the best fit for me. The idea of living there on my own for the next four years seemed like a great opportunity to develop my independence and to gain new experiences. Unfortunately, the opportunity of attending Ithaca isn’t as simple as I want it to be. As a first generation student, I am the first out of my family to attend college. Throughout

If I am accepted to the Illinois Math and Science Academy, I would be so honored and grateful. I look forward to the hands-on curricular offered at IMSA. I wish to be well prepared for my future. I plan on using the opportunities given to take initiative, explore my curiosities, step outside my comfort zone, take charge of what I’m doing with confidence, think for myself, work on different challenges, and build my independence.

The Junior State of America (JSA) is the largest student-run organization in the country dedicated to youth civic engagement and political involvement. Founded in 1934, the nonprofit JSA has fostered over 500,000 student leaders through its school year academic program and its summer programs. During the school year, JSA functions as an extracurricular activity at high schools. JSA hosts overnight conventions during the school year to provide a platform for high school students to come together and contemplate the issues facing our society. In the summertime, JSA hosts summer programs at colleges so students can study advanced courses in government, politics, media, and international relations.

The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) would be a great fit for me because of its vast amounts of areas I could potentially study. Currently, as I am undecided with a narrowed list of potential majors, LSA would be able to give me a fantastic liberal arts education, allowing me to discover subjects and possible careers which interest me.

Throughout my time here at AAE, I have been commended by teachers, fellow students, and my youth group for my achievements and my character. Personally, I believe that a person’s character is developed by their own accomplishments, achievements, experiences, and circumstances. I challenge myself academically by participating in all available honors and AP courses, and continue to maintain a 4.0 GPA or higher. I have been awarded the Principle’s Honor Roll numerous times, and have been recognized for my participation and efforts in GAVRT’s investigation to better understand our complex Universe. Towards the end of last school year, I was recommended by my teachers to be apart of the Student Advisory Council. Being apart

I am writing the Financial Aid Appeal Borad to ask for support of finanial aid for Fall 2016. I have a deficient completion rate and I have gone over the maximum time frame of credits to obtain my degree. The reason that my completion rate is so slow is because my mother was batteling cancer. I was her caretaker throughout her sickness and honestly I could not do both at the same time even through I tried my hardest. My mom did not want me to quit school to take care of her so I always went back to try. She died on good friday of this year and passed all but two of the six classes. This summer I took two classes and passed both of them. Before she got sick, I had amazing grades and I want to finnish with good grades. I am planning to grauate

I received an email today that I was denied to live off campus. Financially, I cannot afford to live on campus, which would result in me having to transfer to a different school. I would be leaving behind a community, a major, and a family of my friends that I have grown with this year. My parents are unable to help me financially because my father recently changed career paths and is not making enough money to do so. I am 17,000 dollars in debt from this year alone, so finding an off campus apartment was a goal of mine to reduce this huge amount of debt that I will need to pay off. I'm asking for you to appeal my denial so I can continue to go to this school and put my mind at peace from all of my financial worries. Thank you for
