Boston University Student Personal Statement

396 Words2 Pages
During my undergraduate education, I hope to prepare for both a meaningful life and a career. Challenging myself academically and socially, I want to become a well-rounded, successful woman who still helps her community. I would love to continue partaking in community service in addition to studying in a rigorous academic environment; therefore, the PULSE program is at the top of my activities list for Boston College because I want to use my skills to help others who lack adequate tools to improve their lives. Helping others become successful serves as a meaningful measure of my own success. Nonetheless, I anticipate internships throughout my college experience that will hopefully enable networking for a job after graduation.

Academically,

The enchanting skyline that travels for miles and miles; lights that reach the stars illuminate the dark sky; melodies of busy streets and hustling people fill the air. This is the city that never sleeps. 8.5 million of us shine to enliven the streets of New York City, doing our best to last through the dark. As humans, we are attracted to changes in the contrasts of hues, which is why we are mesmerized by flickering lights. Lights signal certain thoughts, and based on their origins, we walk a path of induced curiosity.

I have chosen to apply to Covenant College because I seek a deeper relationship with the Lord that transcends into every area of my life, and I believe that I can facilitate that growth with the Christ-centered curriculum and community Covenant has to offer. I see the importance of being a witness to Christ at a secular university, but during my college education I want to better equip myself to proclaiming Christ in my profession and day-to-day living. Throughout the next formative years of my life, it is important to me to surround myself with young people who serve the Lord. Encouraged by conversations with my admissions counselor and information on the website, I believe I will easily mesh into the dynamic that exists at Covenant and cultivate lasting relationships. In addition, I tremendously value access to nature.

One of the most appealing things about University of Oregon is the active inclusion and constant work towards creating a more expansive community. I hope to study Philosophy with a minor in ethnic studies or women and gender studies. These majors I feel will help me pursue my personal goal of a diverse education. As a woman from a conservative part of the east bay with a unique connection to the LGBTQ+ community, I feel that I have a lot to offer to the diverse discourse that The University of Oregon offers. Additionally being a person of privilege I see that I have a responsibility to take a set back and listen to those who have less fortunate geopolitical locations.

My interest for The University of Texas derives from my interest in the Architecture program. The past summer I had the opportunity to participate in the Architecture Academy at the University of Texas and the overall experience solidified my interest in Architecture and the overall University. I appreciated the sense of being able to have a small college in a rather large school. I enjoyed exploring Austin’s culture and I was drawn to the art and music of the City.

Since a little girl, I have had an interest in the field of chemistry, so when I began my college search I knew I had to look for those colleges who had an outstanding chemistry program. In the midst of my research, I discovered Boston University. Boston University attracted my attention because it had all the qualities I was looking for: a prestigious chemistry program and ethnic diversity within an urban city. Boston University’s prestigious chemistry program involves hands-on interdisciplinary research rather than just lectures. Since I am a visual learner, I feel that the implement of physical research into my education will help me be more knowledgeable in my future career.

When I applied to Boston College I did not have an understanding of what being a Jesuit university meant and I definitely did not realize the impact that would have on my undergraduate career. I am fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to learn about and embrace the Jesuit values and this has played a large role in shaping the person I have become since I walked on to campus 3 years ago. My curiosity took over immediately upon starting at Boston College and I began my quest to educate myself on the culture that accompanies a Jesuit education. Through this I uncovered a whole new world and a Jesuit spirit that I believe will always be with me. I was raised in a family that was not very religious and prior to starting college

With undergraduate students from over 100 countries, Boston University is the place to feed my desire to understand the nuances and complexities of the cultures which shape our world, and to help me grow not just as an individual but as a member of humanity.
