Please understand that I meant ever word of my personal statement. I am no longer the same person who received those horribly low GPA's. I have completely changed my attitude towards education, so I don't want the admissions committee to feel that granting me admission is equivalent to wasting a spot for someone else. I am completely serious and focused on education; I do not and will not intend to join any fraternities through college. I will only be at USC to study.
The only reason I am applying to USC is because of the immense opportunities USC can provide me in furthering my academic career. If I have the good fortune of earning a diploma from USC, I have every intention to continue my education at USC through the Keck School of Medicine.
My name is George John and I’m writing this personal statement in order to be readmitted into San Jose State University for the upcoming spring semester. I was a student here at SJSU from Fall 2013 to Spring 2015 and I left the university because I felt as if I had no direction in life. This lack of direction and motivation caused my grades to suffer, at least to my standards, but I still maintained over a 2.0 GPA and I was never put on academic probation.
While applying to medical school, it is vital to select schools that will provide a conducive environment for not only academic and professional success, but also personal growth and happiness. I chose to apply to the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix (UACOMP) because the school’s values align closely with my own, and the school’s culture will provide a helpful climate for fostering my personal and professional development.
My mother is an alum of Washington State University and obtaining a degree from the same school as her would be special to me. I have always been a cougar fan and will always will be. When WSU first announced their accreditation for a school of medicine I was extremely excited to apply. By attending Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, I would be able to return to the state where I grew up, give back to the community, and fulfill my dream of becoming a
In conclusion, I hope to join the USC academic family someday soon. My career has prepared me sufficiently to undertake the challenges required to succeed at the next level of education. USC has been extremely beneficial to my professional career, with offering
I'm applying to Claflin because I feel that following in the footsteps of many powerful people and carrying on a legacy of black excellence is so empowering. It would be amazing to be a part of an institution that has inspired and been a gateway to success for many people. When I think about Claflin University, I think about a diverse community that thrives on becoming an absolute success. When the time came to begin thinking about colleges, I knew that I wanted to surround myself with hard working people that want to be successful and want to have a career, not a job and I know that I can do that at Claflin University.
I am a dedicated, caring individual committed to improving the world around me. My dedication to achieving goals, be it academic or in extracurricular activities, has shown time and time again that I will not give up until I meet the goal, even in the face of adversity. I believe that commitment to goals is a valuable quality I could use to contribute to the community. I plan to join clubs that UCF offer students to work with and contribute to the UCF community. I believe working with my fellow peers to be an important and enriching aspect of college life. I am always willing to help someone in need or point them in the
In addition, this school has a nationally recognized research facility. My research experience has enabled me to think like a scientist. I plan to continue doing research in medical school. I believe that by attending here, I will have a chance to use my research knowledge to advance medical and scientific knowledge
1. Question 1: We understand you are probably applying to multiple medical schools. Please explain your reasons for applying to the Carver College of Medicine
My transition to Oak Knoll was excellent but arduous. I loved the spiritual community and the close knit class. But, I had a harder time adjusting academically. The rigorous academic classes at Oak Knoll resulted in a drop in my GPA. These grades don’t reflect my work ethic and I enjoy the challenge of a more difficult school. These were enhanced expectations that I couldn’t meet at the time. My lowered GPA resulted from a sickness that extended through my sophomore years. Once I was better, I was able to do better in school, which shows in my previous year grades. These year’s show my true academic potential. I am confident that I will be successful at the college I plan on
I am applying to this opportunity because this it gives me a chance to succeed in life. Being able to go to this college it would give me a better chance to get a better job then going to a community college. I am choosing this college because I get to move far away from here. I also like this college because I will never have to have difficulties getting to school because of the snow, it will always be hot. In the matter of minutes I could walk to the beach and have fun. I've always dreamed of moving far away getting a fresh start and meeting new people.
I attended Darton State College during my senior year which helped me earn college credit. In the fall I will officially become a transfer student majoring in Visual and Performing Arts (Music Instrumental and Voice) at the esteemed institution, Savannah State University (SSU). I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to become a student at SSU, because being a first generation college student I know the value of education. During my high school career I maintained my grades, ending with a 3.2 GPA and
Upon entering Cal State LA, my goal was and still is to attain a business education focusing on accounting to aid in commencing a satisfying long career. To accomplish this goal, I have had to make disillusioning sacrifices that have left my family saddened, particularly my mother, as I am not present at events where she wishes to see all her children together. My partner has also had to endure similar absences, however she understands my reasoning and in contrast, is supportive and keeps me motivated, and for much more than just that, I am beholden to her. The desire for my family’s better future, the motive behind my actions, keeps me advancing. My strong work ethic can be seen in the grades I have earned at this university. I did not just want to complete my courses, I wanted to excel and in so proving to the self-doubt in me that I do have the intelligence and dedication to succeed. I transferred during the spring of 2015 with an overall grade point average of 2.33. By staying focused while working at McDonald’s and attending school full time, I have earned only A’s and now maintain a core grade average of 3.97, raising my overall cumulative to 2.701. I am
'Tis the season for college applications, and as a senior in high school this bring a lot of stress to me and I am not the only one. "Teens across the U.S. are standing by their mailboxes, waiting anxiously for the envelopes that will seal their academic fate. It's college admissions season and for many students a lot hinges on how well they performed in standardized testing"(Sheffer). As I have gone throughout my high school career I have achieved a 4.0 GPA. However, despite my hard work, my GPA will be looked at but the main focus of the decision process will be based on my ACT scores, and because I received a 25 this is very stressful to me. Although a 25 is not horrible, it will jeopardize some of the chances I would have getting into a
After my laborious search, I concluded that UGA was the best fit based on the core values explained in the statement. Right off the bat, the word citizenship jumped out at me. Whether it be community service, sports, or clubs, to me, being truly involved in the community is paramount. While taking part in these activities, I am able to prove myself as a leader and a role model in society. For instance, I am a mentor for twelve freshman students, helping them through the huge transition from middle school to high school. In doing this, I am able to set a good example and show my school spirit. With these experiences and my passion and enthusiasm for a positive influence, I plan to make the already great UGA community even better through citizenship. In addition to citizenship, another quality displayed in the admission statement that stood out to me was the notion of culture. In my mind, a true understanding comes from more than just books, but through experience. Coming from a family from diverse parts of the world including India and Scotland, I have been lucky enough to see other cultures’ customs and traditions first-hand. Additionally, I have traveled to seven different countries, which has allowed me to interact with people from diverse cultures and even work on my foreign language study. Through these cultural exposures, I have been provided with a new perspective on life, understanding others better and respecting others despite differences. Overall, although I can relate to all the aspects of the statement, citizenship and culture are my strongest assets dealing with my value to
I am worried that my transcripts displayed weakness as a student because of my questionable GPA from freshman and sophomore year. Without making excuses for myself, I want to impress upon you the number of personal difficulties I faced during that time, including – but not limited to – several hospitalizations. After my sophomore year, I transferred
