Why I Want To Attend Georgetown University

It feels like everyday I meet people who ask me what college I want to attend. I give them the usual list of colleges I wish to apply to, but when Hofstra University comes up, people ask me, “why do you want to apply to Hofstra University?” I say there are infinite reasons why I wish to go to Hofstra. The number one reason being that it is really close to home. Hofstra is an excellent school - one of the best schools in New York. Hofstra has over a 100 distinct majors and minors to choose from ranging from Biology to Engineering to American Studies. I plan to major in Biology, and Hofstra is the best for my major because it has resources to offer its students giving them hands on experiences. Being an AP student, I love to take arduous classes

I have fallen in love with UNCW after first-hand seeing it for myself last summer. I know a lot of alumni from UNCW and have heard nothing but positive things about the school, teachers, and its courses. I am interested in majoring marketing or business and UNCW excels in both of these areas for me. In addition, it provides many courses that assist me in meeting my goals for my career. I would love to attend UNCW because it is close to my hometown but also far enough to where I can be an independent. Not only do I believe the University of North Carolina Wilmington is the right fit for me and my future career but also has every aspect that I am looking for in a college. It has the perfect location, the perfect size, very affordable, and the

If I attend Villanova, I will make community a verb by getting involved through community service, athletics, and research. One project I am particularly interested in is Engineers Without Borders. I would like to help them in their goal of improving the quality of life in developing communities worldwide. It is not only a great travel opportunity, but I would also get to help people in need, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that. I am also interested in the Relay For Life event. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America and my grandfather died from lung cancer when I was younger. If the cure was found, millions of lives would be saved. I would try my best to raise as much money possible to join the fight against it.

I have decided to apply to UNCW Honors College to excel in my studies and help me further my education. Being a part of the Honors College will help me in the future, as I plan to attend medical school. This is my second time applying to the UNCW Honors College. I am now a sophomore who has worked very hard to obtain good grades and a good GPA. My hard work has paid off as I made the Dean’s list this year. An expectation I hope to gain when being a part of the Honors College, is the one on one learning experience. In high school, I was enrolled in all AP courses, which were very small classes. I hope to have the same advantage in the honors courses. I also want to be in a group of all similar academic standings. In high school, I was in National

I have always known that I wanted to attend a top-tier university. The other details came later; the small size, the proximity to an urban hub, and my major itself. For a while, I was convinced that it would not happen; that I just wouldn’t get in. Now, I realize that I have an opportunity to do so. This is an opportunity I do not intend to waste.

Western Oregon is a standard 4-year, medium sized college. It is located in the small, rural town of Monmouth, but only 10 miles from an urban city. Being primarily residential, Western Oregon brings a certain family vibe, which they claim you cannot find anywhere else. Many students say that their favorite part of Western Oregon is the size, since it gave them more one-on-one time with their professors. There are a total of eighty-three majors. Before financial aid and any scholarship money are entered the tuition is $8,274 for in-state students, while out-of-state student’s tuition is $21,759.

Created by one of the most important men in America's history, The George Washington University is an institution with an impressive reputation and outstanding academics. Rooted in the city of Washington D.C., it offers unprecedented opportunities at research and internships. It is perched where the worlds of science, arts, and technology join together to forge new paths. It provides me an unrivaled opportunity to learn alongside world leaders, giving me a chance to participate in the world around me. If I go to George Washington, I will be part of a remarkable global community, aiming to change the world. I would be able to engage in important research in some of the most extraordinary facilities in the country. It would be an honor to attend

As far back as I can remember I have been interested in business, I just did not know it for a long time. I did not realize that I enjoyed business and or finances until I was I in my early twenties when I joined the Air Force and purchased my first home. However, when I initially began collegiate career I originally picked psychology. Which, I really enjoy, but after taking a few classes of my business minor it became clear that my passion is business.

It’s August 28th, 2015 I had just moved to Grand Valley State University two days ago. Its 6:15am. My cell phone is ringing. It was my brother and I thought it was too early for him to be calling me, so I sent his call to voicemail, it rang again, I thought to myself, “Why on earth is he calling me at 6:15 in the morning it’s too early for this”, So I finally decided to answer the call and I got the news that my grandma passed away. It wasn’t totally unexpected, she was on hospice care an entire week before I left for college and I’ve watched her slowly deteriorate because of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.

My journey through my undergraduate career has not been smooth. During my freshmen year, I performed very well in my classes. With this newfound confidence, I decided to take part in more extracurricular activities during my sophomore year. Growing up in a small, predominantly white community, I was rarely exposed to diversity. Thus, in my college experience, I hoped to learn more about people from different backgrounds and connect with students that have a similar culture to my own. Fortunately, Loyola University Chicago’s diverse environment allowed me to do this and I became more involved in Loyola’s South Asian Student Alliance (SASA) and Hindu Student Organization (HSO). I also began working so I could help my parents with college finances.

I come to Fordham University with expectations of completing my Masters of Art degree in Social Service. This will increase my chances of being a successful child Therapist. I am aware, prepared and committed to taking a advantage of all the necessary resources that Fordham University has to offer including tutoring. I am also prepared for any educational challenges that I may face during my completion of graduate school. My personal, academic and profession experiences allows me to continue my education in a Masters of Social Service degree program.

Washington, D.C. is a city of endless opportunities and ways to be involved. Each time I travel down there, I discover something new to love. Georgetown University will provide me with a college-campus feel, something I desire, while still being in an urban setting. The possibilities of Washington, D.C. are endless. If I decide to study history, a subject I find deeply engaging, I will have countless museums to visit to learn first-hand about what I’m studying, along with numerous monuments and other historical sights to engage first-hand with our nation’s history. No where else will I able be able to feed my mind and take learning beyond the classroom like I can at Georgetown University. It’s one thing to simply write about the Declaration of Independence, and another to be able to do so while sitting under the words themselves, inscribed into the walls of the Jefferson Memorial. However, if I choose to pursue a different route, such as biology, another interest of mine, I will similarly be able to find endless opportunities related to my studies. Whether it be interning at one of the numerous hospitals or doing research in a laboratory or with a renowned professor, I know that Georgetown University will offer me the experiences and support to become an interdisciplinary thinker, creative problem solver, and expert in the area that I choose to study. I want to be able to study a subject that I am passionate

I am energized by lively discussion, value diversity of opinion, and am one who will always work hard to ensure we accomplish our goal. I have had the opportunity to serve as a board member for several organizations at Georgetown, have led fundraising efforts that have totaled more than $150,000, have planned large-scale events and conferences for Oxfam America and Georgetown Residential Life, and have overseen budgetary appropriations for several clubs as President of the Georgetown University InterHall Council. During my two years as a Resident Assistant, I prided myself on planning activities that appealed to residents from a variety of backgrounds, and I worked tirelessly to build communities where everyone felt included and supported. More recently, I became one of 40 SERVE Leaders at Fannie Mae working together to plan and organize company-wide volunteer opportunities, brainstorm and direct fundraising for the “Help the Homeless” campaign, and partner with local non-profit organizations to create strong relations in and with the communities we serve. I thrive in dynamic, consensus-driven environments that leverage my desire to solve problems and reshape perspectives, and my passion is epitomized in empowering and working closely with others. I hope to have the opportunity to bring this same dedication

One of my best strong suits is the fact that if given a due date and an assignment, I will do my best, and this will show with my final product. My grandfather has always said that “every day in every way I am getting better and better”, and I truly believe in this statement. At Georgetown, I will be able to get better every single day, but I will also get those around me better. I like to believe that I hold those around me to a high standard, and vice versa, in order for us to perform at our best at all times. Going to college is an opportunity unlike any other in the sense that you go to get a great education that will best prepare you for life after college, and at Georgetown I will be able to do this

The education experience is different for everyone. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a university after primary school and acquire a Bachelor's degree in nursing. The college I choose to attend, Misericordia University, was founded by the Sisters of Mercy with four central charisms; mercy, service, justice and hospitality. Upon arriving at Misericordia. I did not realize just how much these charisms would shape my life, but now, as a senior, I realize their significance.
