Personal Essay On Dartmouth Admissions

He made me realize that the greatest weapon is the weapon of silence. If you don’t say anything about it, then they will soon go away and you should learn to ignore it. This soon leads to breaking the barrier of racism in his school.

Located in Northern California, near Palo Alto, Stanford University is a medium sized, private university with 16,000 students. It is often referred to as the “Ivy League of the West.” As the most selective college in the United States, Stanford accepts only 4.8% of the approximately 44,000 applicants, carefully selecting applicants that have the potential to be leaders in the future. Leaders such as John F. Kennedy (US President), Larry Page & Sergey Brin (co-founders of Google), and Elon Musk (Entrepreneur - best known for Tesla motors) are well known alumni of Stanford who have become extremely successful in their respective fields. When applying to Stanford one should consider the admissions criteria, tuition, and academic majors. Also, it is important to have academic support, understand the college’s demographics, and familiarize oneself with campus life.

Looking at “Wellesley 100”, what impressed me at first glance was number 26, the impressive list of scientific equipment that are available at Wellesley College. Owing to my parents experience in the field of biomedicine and their influence upon me, I have always been intrigued by the methodologies and types of equipment used to conduct the various research that have built the field of biology and biomedicine. My fascination with research originates from the opportunity that I had to visit my father and his colleagues in a research facility in Beijing University where my father’s team were conducting research to test the result of a certain herbal medicine on rats. I was truly fascinated by the facility, the light microscopes, centrifuges,

I’ve known of Jaquelle since my junior year in highschool. I met him one day during rap period playing a computer game. We’d greet each other and have a couple laughs whenever we saw one another, but that was really the extent of our friendship. It wasn’t until this year, my senior year, that Jaquelle became one of my closest friends. During the first semester I walked into my third period class looking for friends, as everyone does during the first day of school. I didn’t see any of my close friends, but I saw Jaquelle and knew that we were cool so I sat by him. We had are laughs and jokes as we did in rap period from the previous year. It wasn’t until we started talking about our past experiences in high school that we got close.

Of the many reasons a Jesuit education appeals to me, the most predominant reason is rooted in my belief that an education based on character formation and living meaningfully will guide my intellectual and personal growth during college. Throughout my life, many experiences that I have endured have shaped my character and constructed my personal goals and academic interests for my potential attendance at Boston College.

I’ve always been interested in the field of medicine. When I was being born, I almost died, being saved only by the ingenuity of a Nurse Day for whom my middle name is dedicated to. Above all else, I want to have an impact on the quality of life for others, and I think the University of Pennsylvania is one of, if not the, best ways to do that. Its bioengineering department is consistently ranked to be the most rigorous in the field, and I can handle rigor.

Ever since I can remember I have had an intense curiosity about the world and the people in it. This is probably due mostly to my parents who read to me nonstop but it has fuelled most of my learning experiences and given me a love of the world and of people, and the understanding of both of those. This love was further developed when I began four years of learning Attic Greek and Latin through a classical education. Then, after yearning to go overseas since I was eight years old and saving for it most of the time since then, I made it to England for six weeks this summer. Here my appetite for understanding is being indulged not just with words and pictures but with real world experiences which I can touch, see, and hear. Now, as I near the end of my stay, I am looking ahead to the rest of high school and I have decided I want to make the most of my junior and

Levan’s classroom, I was able to see a change in one of the students. This student is usually having a bad day whenever I am there. He was cleaning out his desk when I came in. Once he was done, he had to sit with his head down because he owed minutes from circle time. As he was sitting there, I reminded him to keep his head down and the time would go by faster. When he got up, he told me he really liked having me help and remind him what to do. He also said I am one of the bestest teachers and he loves me. As he told me this, I wanted to start crying. I have never seen this side of him. I knew he had a good side, but usually I never get to see it. Once I saw this, I knew working in the education field is where I

My mom signed me up for the community library when I just turned 6 years old. Even if I did not know how to properly read at the time, I had to go there every afternoon to keep myself busy as an only child. Being opened to books at such an early clearly has had a major impact on my life and personality. From the local tales of my beloved Senegalese society to the deep and sophisticated French literature, I have traveled through cultures and generations. Whether it is Emile Zola’s collection of novels or Albert Camus’s philosophical texts, these books raised me and taught me about life, love, and resilience. As times went by, reading was no more a regular pastime but a detrimental part of my existence. The lessons and morality I gained from each story always pushed me to challenge the status quo, to be curious, to be adventurous but most importantly to be a problem solver.

In the words of civil rights great Mahatma Gandhi, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Receiving an education, in my opinion, is the foremost responsibility of every individual who walks this Earth. Education, however, has different meanings for different people. In some cultures, an education may include learning agrarian or farming techniques. In many other cultures, an education consists of attending primary school, secondary school and later attending college. No matter how the concept of education is prescribed in a given society, this fact remains true: everyone desires to have learned more when they leave this world than they did when they came in. Personally, I desire to receive a college education because I believe that by receiving such an

Trying to decide what to do for the rest of my life is a hassle. I have to consider what I do well, what I enjoy, and how much income I would like to make. No one wants to wake up every morning hating their lives because they have to work long hours doing something they do not enjoy just to earn an income. The more a person loves their job, the better they will be at it and the more they will be willing to go to work. After spending many years being indecisive about my future, I have finally committed to pursue a career in speech pathology at Nicholls State University.

Out teacher gestures him over to the seat beside me, and tells him to sit. He walks over still smiling awkwardly, and sits beside me I stare at him a moment then whisper "Hi I'm Y/n" I hold my hand out he hesitates before he's grabs it firmly, and shakes it smiling normally "Hey Y/n im Jason...... but I'm sure you already know that...... I'm sorry I should've remembered to think before I speak......." he curls up a bit, and looks away. I frown, and tap his shoulder "Hey, hey no it's fine I....... I didn't know your name was Jason, so it's ok" he smiles a bit than says "Thanks, but you don't have to spare my feelings "I gasp holding my chest "I would never do such a thing" he laughs softly looking back at me "Your really nice Y/n heh um......... So, um do you mind helping me find my way around school, and what I'll need? That is........ unless you don't want to then i understand....." he starts curling up again, my eyes widen "I-I would love to help you out!!!" I whisper yell. He regains his poster, and grins "Thanks Y/n" I smile widely, and giggle "No problem now we better pay attention to the lesson, or we might get in trouble" he nods, and looks down at the notebook he pulled out holding his

Friedrich Nietzsche once said that “In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.” Well even if he was wrong when it comes to everyone else, he certainly hit the nail on the head with Zack Mikat, a young man whose face is rarely without a smile when among his friends. I first met him about four years ago, when we were both members of a homeschool co-op in Thomasville, North Carolina. We were not very close of friends back in those days, although we did have a few mutual friends and therefore sometimes hung out around each other. The next year he didn’t come back to the co-op, but he came back the year after that, although we still did not know each other well enough to call ourselves friends. However the following year I joined

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

After my first visit to Ithaca during my junior year, I knew I wanted to attend Cornell University. When it didn’t work out the first time around I was determined to move forward, but I couldn’t; I still wanted to be an Applied Economics and Management Major at Cornell. Now that I am unhappy with my current education, I am pursuing admission to Cornell again. More specifically, my goal is to concentrate in finance, where I can have a positive impact on companies, industries, or even society.
