Carnegie Mellon University Personal Statement

I am applying for Carnegie Mellon University and the American University of Sharjah, in order to study Business Marketing or Business Administration. Business is a long-standing passion of mine, and I am fascinated by how business organisations function in the modern international market. The application reflects my personal aspirations to both one day run my own business, and also to be an innovative leader within my field.

Reading transports you away from daily troubles and takes your imagination to new places and times. I also like to read into business and keep abreast of the news and events in business. Events in recent years have been very interesting and unpredictable after the financial collapse. I have read into the situation within the Euro zone and also watched the American budget crisis with interest. I wish to be seen as someone who has made a difference in life, someone who can come into a business with fresh ideas and inspiration.

Thank You for reading my personal statement. I am very excited about this application and the possibilities for study with you in the next academic year. I know that I have the determination, the ability, and the enthusiasm, to succeed and I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you
