Uw-M Personal Statement

The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.

The transition from being a child, dependent upon parents for everything, to an independent adult is one of the most stressful times a person will endure. Legally speaking, 18 is the age when you become an adult but the number doesn’t describe the responsibilities and independence you must take on. College is seen as the “big step” into the real world and many people struggle in choosing where to make their transition. I would like to take my “big step” by attending Florida Atlantic University.

As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.

I am applying to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, because it is a large school with outstanding credentials, with a strong community and lots of school spirit. This is exactly what I am looking for for in my college environment. I want a large school population where I can meet new people every day, get involved in many activities, and where I can make connections and build relationships with my professors. I also look forward to living in snow again - I moved from Denmark to California a few years ago, and I miss the winter weather!

The transition from high school to college is a notoriously daunting experience for students entering, arguably, the most important years in their lives. Everything that a student has come to know about academics, for the most part, are to be radically challenged. Many different factors go into the change, and any particular one can be enough to overwhelm any given student into becoming an emotional wreck. Whether it be living on one's own for the first time, drastic schedule changes, or becoming socially involved, these responsibilities are just three examples, among the seeming hundreds. However, a perfect balance between these responsibilities is a major key in not allowing the stressors to take one captive.

From a kid till the end of my senior year of college I was treated as a “princess” my parents never let me do hardships and give me whatever I want. That was why I was so dependent. I can vividly remember when my parents finally let me go and I have to enter adulthood. When I arrived to MSU, it was like “Adulthood 101” to me. I learn how to budget and prioritize what is important, I learn the basic of cooking and finally have responsibilities. This actually shocked myself because I finally become independent, now I have to worry taking care of myself or manage on living on my own. I don’t consider it as a bad thing at all, I actually like this change.

I want from my college experience is to become a biomedical engineer and to become a better person of great character. At WSU, I want to take any type of class that will help me become knowledgeable to become a biomedical engineer. I am determined to use any type of resources WSU can provide me, to achieve my goal. I also want to join any type of club/organization to improve on how to be leader, a team player and to help others. I have learned from high school how to become a leader, a team player and how to help others. I want to better improve my qualities, learn from others, and improve my knowledge at WSU.

When I was growing up, my parents always encouraged me to do well in school and to go college to create a better and brighter future for myself. Growing up with parents that did not even finish middle school, I always knew that I wanted to go to college, but once I reached my senior year of high school, I felt confused as to what I really wanted to do. I always thought that I somewhat knew what I wanted to study, but once I got to the end of high school, I began wondering what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to apply for the COMPASS program at UCF because I like the areas of science and math, so I thought that I could explore some more majors in those areas. As I took MHS 2330, I became more exposed to the various

In the end University of Wisconsin-Madison seems like the right college for me for many reasons. The location seems perfect and the academics feel like they would lead me towards getting a degree in a field I would enjoy pursuing. The Wisconsin experience sounds like exactly what I would want my college experience to be

My first class at the University of Wyoming had 150 students—more than my entire high school. The first day, however, the professor looked right at me in the third row, and recognized me from my campus visit. “Sarah,” he exclaimed, “Hi! So glad you decided to come to UW.” From that moment, I have always felt like an integral part of the Cowboy Family. This university has a spirit unlike any other, and I am honored to contribute to a legacy so storied and proud.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is known by many for its cutting-edge programs, including having the 27th ranked school for my major of interest, interior architecture. I have a tremendous passion for designing and I would love to make a future career out of it. With the help of the education at UW Madison and the hundreds of research facilities, I know that I can learn everything that I need to in order to reach my goal of graduating from a top tier university, as well as finding the necessities to have a successful future.

It wasn’t long into the school year when my third grade teacher realized that I hardly knew how to read. She would watch as I flipped through the pages of a book, imitating the act of reading. I had adapted my behavior to make it through class without notice, but had not yet figured out how to pass her reading comprehension quizzes. After gently questioning me about it, she sent me to the school counselors to get tested for learning disabilities. As she suspected, the tests came back with multiple diagnoses: dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, and a lack of short-term memory. Being a third grader, those words had no meaning to me, but little did I know how they would force me to create adaptations that prepared me for Washington University Law School.

First, to make sure I found the right school for me, I did an extensive search looking for a great business school. Carnegie Mellon was still number one. Growing up in a household with parents who own small businesses, I was exposed to the adventures of business. The nightly dinner talks about the past busy day and the exciting ups and downs of the small business world helped to motivate me to want to study business. When I was younger, I opened
