Carnegie Mellon University Personal Statement

815 Words4 Pages

When people comprehend quantitative values or scientific and mathematical ideas, they tend to rather try and understand them individually, whereas I am naturally inclined to connect the pieces of an abstract puzzle at once. To maximize my potential, I desire a school that will push my STEM wired mind to new heights. This university will be a wonderful learning opportunity because I will be able to work with some of the most distinguished math and science professors in the country. Moreover, I will be given the opportunity to partake in numerous research projects throughout the years. I believe that the engineering programs here at Carnegie Mellon University are an ideal fit for me to extend on and develop the variety of skills that I have developed …show more content…

Academically, I will have the chance to expand my knowledge in math and science through taking extensive core courses and engaging in lab research. I will be able to leverage the knowledge I gain and the connections I foster to better myself and those around me. Although my major is undecided as of now, I am leaning towards Materials Science, with goals to provide for the greater good. In the department of Materials Science, not only will I be able to conduct research projects throughout the year, but I will be given the opportunity to take part in the Industrial Internship Option (IIO), which would grant me both real world experience and greater knowledge in my field of study. If I am fortunate enough to be selected for this institution, then senior year, I will have enough experience and knowledge to submit the Capstone Project, which will culminate my time at CMU by integrating my collegiate learnings and experiences, allowing me to apply them by, for example, forming a prototype that benefits my field of

I am a good fit with the vision, mission, and values at Pacific University’s School of Communication Sciences and Disorders for several reasons. I am already a part of Pacific’s community because I have attended 4 years of undergraduate here. I have also become a part of the sports community on campus, Pacific’s fine arts community, and the surrounding community of Forest Grove by being involved in track and field, drama, and the Forest Grove school district. My involvement in a number of different activities also demonstrates my appreciation for diversity. Pacific is a safe place to be different.

While attending Waynesburg University, I was first introduced to the option of creating a library career. I began my career similar to most undergrad students by applying for the work-study program in the university’s library.

How could I channel my extreme energy and enthusiasm into a specific course of study in order to best accomplish my goals? And the same hot-topic question on the minds of nearly all high school upperclassmen: Which college did I want to attend? As the letters and emails flooded in from colleges and universities all across the United States, it seemed like an overwhelming task to choose just one. Narrowing my interest down to chemical engineering still left countless potential paths of study, and countless problems to be solved. I researched the applications of chemical engineering: medicine, electronics, food processing, and countless more.

I am applying to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) as a math major because the prestige of the math department at UM-Ann Arbor attracts me.

When deciding what schools I wanted to apply to, Carnegie Mellon was by far my top pick. Not only does it offer a top notch education to students from around the world, but it also offers a variety of math and technology intensive programs. Since the school is very selective of its applicants, the result is a close, tight-knit community of students who care about their education, and who hunger to know more about the world, and use their knowledge and experiences to solve real-world problems. I believe that this type of learning community would suit my learning style and provide the level of academic rigor that I want. I chose the major of engineering because I really enjoy problem solving and critical thinking.

As a former transfer student, from Drew University, to say I’ve experienced a sense of disillusionment is an understatement. In the past I was unsure of and discontent with my previous college and career path. But when I entered Rutgers, Newark, University, I was astounded by the immense amount of opportunities I had. Something so foreign to the past me, I had a sense of impact unlike any I felt at prior institutions. I immediately became submerged with petitions, clubs, and organizations that were reaching out to me in a way other colleges had not.

University of Chicago has the major I am interested in, Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neuroscience. Through the wide variety of study abroad opportunities the university offers, I could study about Middle Eastern civilizations in Jerusalem or civilizations while in Vienna. Along with studying abroad, I would love to take a Big Problem course in my senior year of college. A Big Problem course would give me the skills and knowledge needed to face major problems in the field I desire to pursue, the medical field. I aspire to become a pediatric neurologist to help alleviate the impact a mental or intellectual disability has on children with special needs.

The University of Chicago, as I know it now, satisfies my desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future. The University of Chicago’s website states: “Our goal is to offer students a wide range of out-of-class experiences that build skills in preparation for academics and life in a community of scholars.” Throughout life, I have enjoyed out-of-class experiences related to what was currently being taught in school. These experiences have not only helped me understand was being taught, but they have helped me enjoy the subjects that I did not so highly favor. For this reason, I concur with this promotion style of educational development due to the fact that it brings me the same joy as I used to have when I woke up for school

Learning and Scholarship are critical values to all students, but throughout my time at ISU, I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the idea of being a lifelong learner. The programs for Special Education at ISU are some of the best and have offered me more ways to learn than I originally thought imaginable, and have inspired me to explore my educational possibilities in the future.

As a psychology major looking to go on to graduate school, one thing available at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that is important to me is the opportunity to get involved in undergraduate research. The psychology department has so many opportunities to get involved, and it is part of the reason I transferred here. If Madison were to all of a sudden cut their funding to research, making it difficult for undergrads to get involved, it would seriously impact my experience as an undergraduate student. It would make me a less appealing candidate for graduate school compared to those who had the opportunity to be involved in research and rob me of the critical skills and learning experiences that come along with the real world application of

State University and I possess a common vision. I, like State University, constantly work to explore the limits of nature by exceeding expectations. Long an amateur scientist, it was this drive that brought me to the University of Texas for its Student Science Training Program in 2013. Up to that point science had been my private past time, one I had yet to explore on anyone else’s terms. My time at UT, however, changed that.
