The Admission Of A Grad School

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

Graduate school is my next step to improve upon what I have learned in undergraduate school and in industry. Currently, I work at Space Systems Loral (SSL) as a lead designer for the payload structure on a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earth environmental monitoring satellite. For the past six months as a Lead Designer, I have been working to bring a non-heritage complex composite panel assembly from concept to fabrication by managing assistant designers, communicating directly with NASA, participating in design reviews, writing test protocols, and solving difficult structural design problems. My role on this project began as a junior designer helping out part-time, but as the scope of the project grew and manpower was lost, I agreed to take the big leap to head the project. I have been working at Space Systems Loral for the last year and a half. While I like this work, I want to pursue a masters degree so I can tackle more challenging technical solutions that require advanced mathematics and engineering

The reasoning behind this essay is to prove to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh-Online Division that I, Adriana Petoskey, have the ambition, passion, and autonomy to take on the responsibilities of what comes with obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design.

I grew up around Pittsburgh and my dad worked in the steel mills. Our mother left when I was two. Something about "finding herself". Or at least that's what my dad said. He raised me and my siblings by himself. Our oldest sister got us ready for school in the mornings: breakfast, lunches, bus stops. We moved around quite a bit and it left me with a deep sense of insecurity. Where will we be next year ? Will I have to say goodbye to my friends? We never lacked for the essentials but we weren't rolling in dough either. We had just enough.

Colleges select students in order to create a diverse environment that fosters people who will contribute to society. In order to do so, college admissions must consider many factors. Admissions should focus most of their attention on GPA and extracurricular achievements. While standardized tests should not be highly considered, ethnicity and socioeconomic identity should still play a small factor in the process. Some people like Suzy Lee Weiss argue that academics should be the sole factor in determining a student’s eligibility for college acceptance. Extracurricular activities and personal achievements are ways to represent that a student possesses necessary skills like valor, teamwork and time management. Although standardized test scores

Before I can achieve a degree, I must commit to my studies. Education is the strongest foundation in any career. As it stands, I have taken interior design, architecture, and all levels of art including AP studio art, which I am currently enrolled in. My Advanced placement and honors classes have

College admissions are simple. They check your GPA and ACT/SAT test scores and see if your scores match their expectations. If you do, they will take you. If you don’t, they will reject you. What about if your score is in the middle? What if you don’t quite meet their expectations, but you don’t really fall below them? Legacy is like a tiebreaker or the cherry on top of the cake, but currently is a very controversial topic. Being a legacy student can cause a significant impact on the admission process. It also gives you a huge advantage over non-legacy students. Being a legacy student has the potential of getting you admitted into the college that you want, even if you don’t meet all the requirements. UW should take legacy into

For as long as I can remember, I have loved creating art. At a restaurant with my family, I would eat only until I had finished my drawing with the crayons the waiter gave us to go with the large, paper table cloth. To me, it was an amazing canvas of potential princesses, fairies, mermaids, dragons, and castles. Through the years, my love for art has only gotten stronger. It is for this reason that I hope to pursue graphic design in college, so that eventually I can get hired to design book covers, movie posters, song album covers, or something of that sort. Many people fail to understand the artistic ability that is helpful in the field of graphic design. Part

Within this essay i will be writing about interaction design i will cover my chosen subject in detail via the extensive research i have gathered. I will define and analyse interaction design using key examples of this design practise both historical and contemporary.

Enrolling in the Pre-Tech program exposed me to the worlds of both game design and and graphic design. At the end of my

I am currently working towards an Associates Degree in Fine Arts at Green River Community College and I hope to major in Graphic Design. I choose this career because of my aunt and uncles inspiration. They both work in the Graphic Design field and the work that they have shown me in the past caught my attention. My main goal in obtaining a Bachelors Degree is for my future. I want to be able to be financially stable and not have to worry if I am going to make ends meet. It is important to me to be able to achieve this goal because growing up my family struggled with money and they taught me that it is important to be responsible and learn from their

Lynch suggests that data compiled by other sources should be studied to reach a fair decision. At the conclusion of the study UC was found not to discriminate based on race. What was not stated; however, was that all applicants were not judged by the same standards. Lynch’s ends with an opinion that believes that race still remains an important factor in the admission processes at the UC’s (Lynch 1996). Throughout the years and after several protests and other investigations, these universities admitted that there were problems with these admission policies, but never admitted any deliberate wrongdoing to the communities affected. These admissions policies were implemented to improve the racial diversity of student populations. Increasing the

In an interactive digital art, the artwork consists in producing relationships between an active audience and a dynamic art-system [8]. These relationships are part of the concept of relational aesthetics, a tendency in contemporary art in which art is a set of artistic practices that produces a social experience completing the artwork [5]. According to Fels [26] people build relationships with objects external to their own self depending on how deeply embodied the person is into an object or an object is into the person. These objects may be other people, devices, or other external entities. For artists, achieving a deeply type of embodiment is challenging [26]. Issues relating to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) are

My undergraduate studies at the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS) – Pilani, India, has prepared me phenomenally well for the MHCI program. Aside from graduating with first division from the most sought-after department (Computer Science) at India’s premier educational institution, my academic experience provided me with an environment to perceive and experience multiple cultures and a variety of human behavioral patterns. This contributed to a holistic education, set to act as a solid foundation for a successful future in the human computer interaction domain.

6). Most of my work with event planning has been on a smaller scale. The largest event I’ve had a part of planning was about 350 people. I embrace new challenges and I hope to gain experience in planning events for massive groups of participants/clients.
