Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Personal Statement

Before I answer the questions posed, I believe an explanation is owed regarding this request for admission into Saybrook. I originally applied to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology seeking a degree in business psychology. Since the program was not ready to start for another year, it was suggested that I take courses in the international psychology program. I thoroughly enjoyed this new experience with an opportunity to “think global”. I optioned to remain in this program with a concentration in organizations and systems. As I sojourned through, I was always aware that there was still something missing. Although I loved being part of the IP program, my roots are deeply entrenched in the world of organizational development (OD).

Ever since I was a little boy that I knew about the value of education. Unfortunately, neither of my parents had the possibility to attend college. As I grew up, I became aware of the difficulties my parents passed by to raise me and I realized that this is not the future I wanted to have. From this moment, my focus on education emerged and became solid. With their love, sacrifice and time, I was able to graduate high school and get into college, even though money was always tight. Now, I am a hard working student that strives for his objectives with excellence. Texas Tech Honors college has a great reputation in the U.S, and around the world. Being part of the TTU honors college would be a dream accomplished. This would increase my opportunities

I have always been interested in “doing my own thing” or, better known as, entrepreneurship. In high school, I would buy T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in bulk. I’d embroider little emblems on them and mark up the price by 100%. People at school would buy $1 shirts and pay $9 for my craftsmanship. However, I wanted bigger and better things. I channeled Andrew Carnegie in my approach to business: why just stop at my little venture when I could vertically integrate and market for myself? I decided to invest all my money in a new cause and thus, my own social media marketing company was born. The skills I’ve learned in starting my company is something that cannot be taught. I would relish the opportunity to grow and learn at an institution like The Stephen M. Ross School of Business that understands the importance of innovation and exploration.

As a current student at Brazosport College, I am extremely honored to be nominated for the 2017 Distinguished Student Award. I will be graduating in May of 2017, and I can proudly say that completing my first two years at Brazosport College have been an amazing start to my higher educational career.

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

Purdue is more than just a college to me. I was captivated by how Purdue allows students to achieve their goals, but also guides them to get there through challenging classes and caring staff. Purdue has proved to me that I can dive deep into the classes to learn about life in the real world, as well as thrive in it. With a club for everyone, I will be able to pursue my current passions as well as explore more. Purdue is not simply another college. Purdue is a school that will build the future of America and the

Not only did I prove my dad wrong, I also cultivated several invaluable traits. I have learned how to manage finances, provide stellar customer service, resolve legal disputes relevant to my business, and simultaneously balance my academic requirements with my business pursuits. I learned to confidently take risks, adapt to changing circumstances, and trust my intuition in the face of doubt and criticism. Starting my own business has fuelled my passion for entrepreneurship. With the strong academic foundation and entrepreneurial connections Harvard offers, I am confident that I will possess the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully

Nothing in my life has proved to be more rewarding and valuable than my experiences at Indiana University. From the moment I stepped foot on campus four years ago, I have been compelled to make the most of every opportunity I have been granted and build the greatest foundation for my future that I possibly could. I knew the path that I had envisioned for myself was going to be arduous and that I was going to be met with great adversity at every step I took, but each obstacle only further motivated me to exceed expectations and carve my own avenue against the grain. I finished my senior year with a B.S. in Neuroscience, and three minors in Chemistry, Biotechnology, and Psychology. These fields overlap in many dimensions, but

I had no idea that American University’s motto was identical to my sophomore summer’s epiphany which evolved during a South Dakota Habitat for Humanity (HH) project. My impression that I knew how hard life could be, especially after my parents’ tumultuous divorce, was dispelled. I was determined to think and act based upon the direction I wanted my life to take.

My dream has always been to attend Indiana University and to attend her law school. And now, after all the options displayed before me, with most being inexpensive and easy, I still find my passional compass pointing toward home in Indiana. I understand the sacrifices required and the effort that’s mandatory, yet I am qualified by my passion for persevering, I am qualified by my experience, and I am qualified by my heart for Indiana.

I am interested in Rensselaer’s prestigious school of engineering. I know that if I attend Rensselaer, I will be able to find a great job when I graduate. When I visited the campus, I was impressed by Rensselaer’s many connections to companies where students could find internships and, hopefully, jobs after graduation. Rensselaer is also a perfect school for me because it offers many science majors. I do not know what branch of engineering I will focus on yet, and if I go to Rensselaer, I will have many

I am interested in Rensselaer because I feel that Rensselaer will be a good fit for me and allow me to reach my full potential as a student.

Everyone says they are “Going into business.” This is not a bad thing, all it means is that we must nurture our skills to be competitive. I myself, wish to open the doors to my own store. I enjoy organizing, researching and diving deep into subjects to gain the best understandings possible, particularly in business. I never finish learning, I thrive in it. Currently, I am continuing to narrow in on interests. Easily, I could tell a story, saying I am opening an elite athletic club in ten years called “Rewind Revolution”. However, I have not slightly begun indulging in the variety of business emphases that Lakeland offers, similarly to those offered to graduate and business professional, Caitlin Brotz of Olivu 426. Truly, I am enthusiastic to discover musky life. It is my mission to achieve the following with a Lakeland education: development of existing knowledge, application of education during internships and career, and finally sharing my business experience by volunteering with Future Business Leaders of America.

Do you have what it takes to enter the annual Harvard Business School Business Plan Contest? Vison, ideas and concepts are great in theory but are ineffective unless you execute them. This case study shows the struggles of the reality three young entrepreneurs faced when they were trying to build a product. It shows the difficulties in forming a team and most importantly turning an idea into reality. The lack of leadership, communication, clash of cultures and individuals

In classes taught by Lucy Qiu, I have learned the incredibly intricate, and often tedious nature of entrepreneurial finance. Aram Chavez has taught me the value of marketing, the power of the cult, and brought insight into the dealings that an entrepreneur might encounter throughout their Aha to Exit journey. Jason Bronowitz has instilled skills relating to the building products, brands, and creating market opportunity analyses. And Finally, as we come to the end of the fall 2015 semester it is once again time for me to reflect on my studies to see what I will carry with me into the future.
