State University Personal Statement

I known about Rutgers New Brunswick through friends of mine who a Herd the University. They told me that Rutgers undergraduate degree programs are comprehensive and include a spectrum of majors. When I read about Rutgers, I found that Rutgers is truly impressive because of the way that the faculty, students, and community help to create an environment that celebrates dreams, empowers aspiration, and supports individual efforts. I also like Rutgers because they pair college degrees with experience. So, at Rutgers, I will take classroom instruction to a higher level through personal attention and hands-on experience.

Completing the Ph.D. degree in Public Health at the prestigious University of Florida would help my future endeavors in the healthcare field immensely. While attending UF, my goal is to conduct research in infectious diseases, focusing on how to reduce the frequency of their acquisition and transmission. My research would revolve around the patient’s safety; how to reduce the risk of patient’s becoming infected with diseases while in the care of healthcare professionals by looking at changes in the practices of the professionals and the facilities to reduce the risk of infections. After graduating from UF with a Ph.D. in Public Health, I have hopes of working in a healthcare facility, whether it is a private organization, a hospital, or a government facility. Ultimately, my dream career goal is to be a Public Health Program Supervisor or a Program Coordinator. Holding this title will allow me to work with other healthcare leaders on discovering ways

As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.

The diversity and location of NC State is what draws me to this University. From the first moment I stepped onto the campus, to the tours and talking to current students, I felt the excitement of the campus. NC State is a rich community that is strong because of the variety of classes, teachers, students, and activities, and for the array of perspectives and experiences. From attending a small school in a small town, then transitioning to a larger high school, this feels like a natural next step.

Rutgers will help me personally because of how diverse the university is. Having a diverse group of students in my major would benefit me, since Rutgers has people attending from different areas of the country/world that have gone through different experiences and I would be able to learn from them. Rutgers has a population that consists of all types of backgrounds, which is something that would help me grow as a person due to being exposed to different types of cultures. This would help me when I get a job since in the business field one needs to have people skills and since I would be in a diverse school, I will get to meet and interact with different people as I would when I would have a job. This results in not only being better in academics but also being a well-rounded individual and know how to interact with different races/cultures. All things considered, having a Rutgers education will help me to better myself as a college student and benefit my learning and the different types of opportunities I would be exposed

Going to a university can encompass a variety of factors and meanings for each of the individuals that it applies to. Here, at ASU, there is an abundant amount of these backgrounds always coming forth and attending this university that helps fuel to the variety of why people attend such a higher level learning institution. As to how I contribute to this diverse pool is of the reason of my family and pressures placed onto me by them. I come from a fairly large family that consists of eight people, including myself. I am the oldest of five siblings and the first who has ever been able to graduate high school. With this in mind, it is obvious that I must be the role model for the younger bunch along with striving for better after my high school graduation. All my siblings are expected to follow in my footsteps which can at times be stressful because I want them to walk onto a even better path than I ever did in my school career path. With being the first in my family to ever graduate, my parents want me to be a good representation to combat the negative comments usually associated with people of Mexican descent and how they often do not get far in life.

At Penn State, I feel I would make a name for myself. This name might be known to the entire 46,000 students on campuse, but in the classes I am taking and the professors I talk to they would know me for a student who has the drive to take the next step and want more. Through my high school experiences I believe that if I can take advantage of what a high school has to offer, then I can certainly take advantage of all of what Penn State offers. It will be here where I truly form what kind of person I am and through all the activities and intership opportunities offered, I feel that this will be a great place to gather all the opportunities I can in order to not only succeed at Penn State, but also after in the real world.

Rutgers University offers numerous options similarly to other colleges and universities, however this university is notable for their vibrant community and a wide variety of backgrounds which I hope to become part of. Since I was a child I was in my own and my only goal was to have a good future. Having only 10 years old I had to migrate to this country; my only option was to leave my family, friends and culture to undertake an unknown life. People often say that life is hard, and indeed, it is; but hard work and perseverance maintains people standing still. Without having a clue about this “new country” I was completely lost in a new culture and school system. Confusion was my shadow, I didn't have support nighter advices that could help

University of Maryland Baltimore County has been my first choice in schools to attend to further my education ever since I started looking at colleges to apply to in high school. The first time I visited UMBC, my love for the school grew stronger. The campus is beautiful and intimate. The little pond by the library building is so calming and relaxing, it would make a wonderful place for studying. Also, the students and staff members were extremely nice, helpful and welcoming. Another reason I would love to attend UMBC is their cultural diversity. I come from an Indian background and UMBC has an amazing Raas team. I grew up playing and doing Raas, and that is why UMBC feels like home. UMBC is everything I imagined a college would be like and

A Rutgers education will have a huge impact on me.It will open large opportunity to find a better job then my parent currently has.At the time, our family was undergoing a stressful moment in our lives. My father was recovering from a surgery that left him unable to return to his construction position, and my mother, a cleaning lady, working extra shifts to cover our regular and medical expenses.As a student at Rutgers University, it will open a new chapter in my life.I will meet new people from New Jersey,outside New Jersey and meet people from foreign countries.Have a better understanding of life and be responsible for my action.

As a young child the only school I ever wanted to attend for college was CSU. And when I was accepted into CSU I was ecstatic to attend, especially since I was the first person in my entire family to go to college. As soon as I had reached CSU I decided to try CS as a possible major due to my love for technology and thought programming would be a great step towards a career I wanted to pursue. But unfortunately my grades and GPA had fallen last year and this semester.The reason for my GPA’s drop below a 2.0 was my financial situation with and in school, choosing too many credits for school and working three jobs to pay for school and my apartment.

The world as we know it today is not what you can call welcoming. But, my goal for the near future is to be able to give back to others to the best of my abilities. The first step in achieving this goal is to have a strong education by attending Rutgers University. I would be able to get the preparation that I need to become a successful clinical pharmacist. My future plan would consist of me hopefully attending Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. Rutgers would be the key to my success because its a school that offers multiple programs allowing its students to be able to find their passions. Rutgers is a school that has great diversity and I would have the chance to be exposed to people of different backgrounds.This would only be a benefit to me because I would be able to learn things from the new people that I encounter. This school would assist me in accomplishing my dreams of being a

What really drew me to Rutgers was how outstandingly its campus was designed. The bus schedules, size and population are exactly what I need to get adjusted to the hectic world of business. Keeping track of where classes are and making it to them one time builds punctuality, and is great practice for scheduling meetings and events for the future. The campuses are all so practical yet exquisite, specifically the new business buildings, making me more excited than nervous to start my long journey towards a master’s degree. Besides the structure, Rutgers’ distance also supplies many benefits. The proximity of Rutgers to home is extremely important to me. Just recently we have lost my father and to be able to see her once a week after just a forty-two minute drive is a blessing. It is just

I believe New York University is very fitting for my academics and personal interests. A friend who attends there has told me about the many opportunities that i cannot wait to take advantage of. This school is both challenging for the students and offers a great campus life. It is close enough to home that I could visit if I want. It also has my three top major choices, of which i have not decided between. Most of the universities do not have all three of my options. I love that NYU has all three because if I decide that I don't want to pursue one major, I can switch to the other with ease. I have always felt an enormous connection to New York City, as I've lived on Long Island my whole life. Dorming in the city would be such a great experience

I believe that there is no exceptional choice for me other than Boston University. Not only do I find the campus beautiful,I feel that I belong here.My college adviser is the one who promoted this school for my best interest.I come from an International Baccalaureate background as a student in Curtis High School. This program helps me since it is both rigorous and teaches college material. This is why I believe I will fit since I come from a rigorous work load.
