Why I Chose Illinois State University

To Whom It May Concern: I am interested in Illinois State University. I was glad to read that you like me know that student motivation and academic preparation are not fully revealed by a student’s high school transcript or by standardized tests.

One of the many reasons I choose to attend Xavier University, was the school's various resources and programs to help students with studying and adjusting to college life. One of the main resources I plan on using are my professors. Everyone I have talked to about succeeding in college tells me that I need to take advantage of my professors' office hours. They have a required 6 hours a week that they have to schedule in so students can come and talk to them. That is more than most schools in the country! My professors are going to definitely get to know me because I am going to try to stop by at least once a week to get help and clarification for my work, or to at least let them see my face and learn my name so they will be willing to help

If you could go to U of I, UNI, or Iowa State, where would you go and why?

When I first applied to Iowa State University, I was originally planning on attending the University of Illinois, and Iowa State was my backup school. Two days after I applied to Iowa State, I was accepted. Once I told my friends, family, and mentors about my acceptance, I was told nothing but good things. The reputation that Iowa State has established for itself is one of the best. Even one of my small group leaders at church who graduated from University of Iowa, conceded that Iowa State has an exceptional engineering program. At that point I started to do research about ISU, and through research I discovered that Iowa State is ranked within the top 25 engineering programs in the nation. That’s when I took a look at the majors that Iowa State has available and decided on majoring in software engineering. I have always been interested in computers, but never knew exactly what I wanted to do with them, therefore, majoring in software engineering was a natural choice. I would be studying what I love in one of the

Deciding where to go to school is a difficult decision for anyone. It is one of the most defining moment for a person’s future. Despite all this, if I were accepted to Northwestern, I would immediately go there. Northwestern is a hub for innovation producing the future.

After going to several seminars presented by Northwestern, I realized Northwestern would be a comfortable fit for me. I like the quarter system because it will allow me to earn an Economics degree with a minor in a field related to my business interests. I also love the idea of a college town near a big city. Finally, my faith is an essential part of my life, so I was very impressed when I found out about the vibrant Sheil Catholic Center and all the opportunities they would give me to live my faith. Northwestern has jumped off my t.v. screen, becoming a place I would like to spend my next four

Northwestern acts as a platform to showcase my skills. All throughout my life, I have been told to work my best, and I have. I have put every ounce of life and effort into my very being. Whether that range from the arts to the conscience. It is this very effort that makes me think that Northwestern is one the best universities for my persona. Its diversity in schooling is something that I am very keen to. The university has a school of music, a school of arts and sciences, a school of communication and many more. This appeals to me because my interests range much like the schools that are at Northwestern. I love singing my heart out with intense vibrato but compassionate tone. I love reading up on the latest medical research and publications.

I know that Illinois State University is a perfect fit for me! Illinois State is the top school to help me reach my goals in my education. When I visited this summer, one of the things that really stood out to me is the campus. Illinois State's campus is by far my favorite campus that I have visited,- I immediately felt like I’d finally found my home. My tour guide also was so inviting and gave me great information, and I want to be around such welcoming and helpful people for my college years.

My desire to go to Northwestern is twofold. My love of music and my overwhelming desire to make money grow. The fact that my mother graduated from Northwestern and its small town atmosphere has not hurt my choice either. Northwestern State University is the right place for me.

There are a few reasons why I chose to attend the University of California, Los Angeles: Location, cost, the famous alumni, the historic athletic program, etc., but the main reason I chose UCLA was to obtain a college degree from one of the most prestigious public Universities in the world. Earning a degree is especially important to me because no one in my family (immediate or extended) has ever graduated from college. In fact, only a few members of family my have even taken a college class before – let alone obtained a college degree. Knowing that I could be (will be) the first in my family to not only graduate from college, but to graduate from a college like UCLA, is something that I hold very dear to my heart because of the amount of respect that people have towards this school.

I went there because I know I want to get my master degree an international relation. But I wanted to get my degree overseas in places like Australia, Germany, China, France because it’s cheaper or free. So, I never really thought about getting my masters in state because I never really had to pay for school before. I really want to keep that pattern going. They told me about a Fellowship program and scholarships that I can apply for but I would still be paying. But getting my masters is still a goal, I just have more options when it comes to schooling.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is charged by our state to upgrade the lives of nationals in Illinois, the country over and around the globe through our administration in learning, revelation, engagement and financial development.Vision

The reason I would like to pursue a college education at Indiana University is because I would like to push myself, and strive to receive a college education to be a role model for future generations. Since about the 6th grade I have dreamed of going to Indiana University and becoming an accountant. Now a senior in a high school I finally I have opportunity to make this childhood dream a reality. Neither my mother or father received a college education, and neither of their parents received a college education. I would like to break this chain in my family of only receiving a high school diploma, and thinking that’s good enough. If I can at least graduate from college that means my children will strive to get a college education, and hopefully

Colleges and universities exist to foster young minds, challenge their abilities, and further their progress towards a meaningful career. That is exactly what I had always expected and hoped to encounter when I began my university experience, and I knew that I was completely prepared. Growing up with five siblings, four of them older, my life was a continuous cycle of challenges in our sibling rivalries, which often manifested as debates on politics and ethics. Though these were areas where my siblings had earned degrees, I never backed down and always presented my opinion, unafraid of the intellectual challenge in front of me. As the son of a pastor, I continually saw my parents give everything to the people they served, comforting countless patients in hospitals, feeding hungry families and clothing young children, always giving time, money, or resources to someone they felt needed it more.

I visited and toured the University of Chicago last week, and I am very impressed with the school. I loved how nice and green the campus was, how passionate and kind the students were, and the wealth of research opportunities expressed throughout the tour. Since I am interested in medicine, I was especially impressed with the work opportunities that could be done at the hospital on campus. I am looking forward to
