Wolverine Personal Statement

Coming from a small town on the east coast, I would have never expected to fall in love with such a large and diverse college like the University of Michigan. The upbeat atmosphere of Ann Arbor alone was enticing enough before I even saw the actual campus. Upon visiting, I quickly realized the University of Michigan was a place I would not mind spending my next couple of years. From the countless students all around to the wide variety of shops in town, Ann Arbor seemed like a lively and exciting place to spend my college experience. While walking through the campus, I was continuously amazed by the large intricate buildings surrounding me. Some of my favorites included the Law Library, the College of LSA and the Michigan Union. While I do not plan on attending it, the Ross School of Business was also an incredible

The University of Michigan purpose and mission is to allow “its students to tailor their

From numerous computer labs to professional leaders in research, there are opportunities that will allow me to achieve my academic goals at UM that would be otherwise unavailable.

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.

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

During the following summer, in 2015, I participated in the Bucksmore’s OASP Program at Oxford in order to confirm my initial thought. There, I took Economics and International Business Management as majors. The courses and the teachers were fascinating. I was delighted to discover new concepts and ideas and to participate actively in the debates within our group. At the end of the program I received straight A’s and appreciative comments from all my

Ann Arbor has been ranked by Forbes as one of the best cities in the country to work, allowing for endless internships and postgraduate opportunities. As an innovator, I can envision Ross and I being serving in a mutually beneficial relationship. In short, Ross will be a good fit for me and I will be a good fit for Ross. Should I be granted admission, I intend on taking the knowledge I learn in the classroom out to the real world. Overall, as a focused and driven student, the Stephen M. Ross School of Business is the ideal place to help me pursue my goals and increase my knowledge in my academic

Throughout my entire life, I have always been one to constantly push myself and pursue new challenges. In high school, I excelled academically while also being a three-sport athlete, a member of the National Honor Society, and held an active presence in my community. In the classroom, for as long as I can remember, I’ve been intellectually curious and fascinated with solving problems through quantitative reasoning. The desire to continue my education in a quantitative field and gain important soft skills, while also boasting the ability to be involved in many extracurriculars led me to pursue a degree in economics from DePauw University. In a constantly changing industry such as finance, it is imperative that one is able to adapt quickly and think outside of the box, and DePauw has prepared me to do just that. I

I believe UW-Green Bay is the university for me, and that I am a perfect candidate to help enrich this prestigious university both academically and socially. Many personal traits, experiences, and goals I have directly correlate with UW-Green Bay’s mission statement and goals for their students. Also, located just off the Lake Michigan shoreline, UW-Green bay offers a beautiful campus for its students, which intrigues me as an individual as a place I can see myself living and enjoying as I work toward my undergraduate degree. In addition, UW- Green Bay has all beautiful state-of-the art facilities and learning centers that I visited that I truly can see myself living in, learning in, and creating new friends and memories in. I believe this

Michigan’s great name and ranking would be enough for nearly every applicant to want to Michigan Law. However, when I started looking closer at law schools and what they stand for and areas of expertise I found that Michigan aligns with my belief and interest more than any other law school I have seen. Not only is the reputation of the school so good that it is recognized everywhere but the tradition and location of the school is just as impressive. While I would also enjoy escaping the hot Texas climate but the values and of the school are something that I love even more about the school. The belief in interdisciplinary learning and actions is something that I think is important for being able to work on some of the most difficult issues

My interest in business and economics began one winter break during junior year of high school. As I flipped through titles on Netflix, it was not a comedy nor an action-packed movie I landed upon, but rather the documentary Inequality for All. When it came time to choose classes for senior year, I jumped at the chance to take advanced placement micro and macroeconomics. Within the first week of attending class, my decision to study business economics was solidified.

Tentatively, I raised my head to my jugular to feel my pulse. Dun-dun. Dun-dun. Dun-dun. I could feel the school’s pride rise up within me; the pride of the Sooners was unmistakeable. In that moment, I knew that I had chosen a school that stood for its members. I knew that the school I had chosen was one that stood for its community. After leaving that football game, I learned that the University of Oklahoma sincerely has a passionate sense of pride for who they are.

In regards to academics, I wish to pursue my interests for biology, business, and Spanish. I admire the fact that Marquette work

First and foremost, let me mention that I am looking to apply to the Tepper School of Business and the Dietrich College of Social Science and Humanities.

I want to study economics and build a solid knowledge in the field to be able to see the causes of things more clearly, understand and find out the ways to make good economic decisions, and build a career through which I can make good contribution to the field by using the acquired academic skills correctly.
