Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews. The migration of my grandparents and parents, from a young age, cultivated a sense of determination in me to overcome obstacles. Arriving in Miami at age 5, I had to learned my third language, English, in order to attend school. I was determined to and successfully lost my accent and got tested into the gifted program after a year of school.
I see myself being an engaged member of the WCU and Brinson Honors College community by being involved in community service opportunities, becoming a member of leadership organizations, and taking advantage of opportunities to study and serve in a different country or to participate in undergraduate studies. I plan to be engaged in the WCU community by being involved in all that I can be involved in. Specifically, I hope to become involved in at least one of the faith-based groups on campus, such as the Baptist Student Fellowship at WCU or the Campus Crusade for Christ. Becoming involved in faith-based organizations is important to me and will allow me to love God and love people better by learning more about God and participating in service projects that will share his love and truth. Additionally, I want to join a local Church family, where I hope to serve in various aspects of the Church, especially those that involve children, something that I am passionate about.
As a result, I chose to double major in Biomedical Science and Global Health. I know these majors will prepare me for a career in the medical field. I hope to continue to thrive at ASU in these programs. As an undergraduate at ASU, I hope to continue doing meaningful research.
Throughout the college application process, it has become increasingly evident to me that NYU is unlike other schools due to its prioritization of individuality. Coming from a small Catholic high school, one of my goals for the next four years is to branch out and better myself through being a part of a diverse and open-minded student body. The diversity of culture, religion, opinion, and even personality at NYU is extremely important to me, and shows that the school is an open and accepting environment for all. The tradition of Ally Week especially interests me, as I am constantly trying to use the privileges I have been given to the advantage of those who do not share those same privileges. This dedication to equality is truly what makes NYU
I have always retained a keen passion in learning about medicine and dreamed about becoming a pediatrician. As I learned more about NYU, I fell more in love with the university, aspiring to one day step into the halls of the school and make my mark. I believe it was the perfect place for me to start my pre-medical studies into one day becoming a doctor. When I first ventured in and around NYU in New York City, my eyes sparkled at the marvel of the campus. It is not one's typical campus.
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.
One of the factors that has attracted me to NYU is the interdisciplinary nature of the University. The University contains multiple schools that foster a converging community dedicated towards creating innovation. From the Steinhardt School of Business to the Tisch School of Fine Arts to the Tandon School of Engineering to the College of Arts and Science to many more, NYU helps create innovation through the multitude of studies and the interaction of its students. For me, the benefit of having multiple perspectives has helped me in my own work and given me a longing to help others in the field of Neural Science.
I am applying to NYU because I want to be in a liberal-arts academic environment with limitless opportunity. By applying to NYU’s Stern school of business I firmly believe that I will be given the education necessary to be successful in my field. I am a marketing major and going to a University, such as NYU, that will enable me to learn about the ever-changing technology utilized in my field is vital. I am also incredibly interested in a digital marketing track. Webdesign, app development, and advertisementing are all fields that interest me greatly, however I had little hands-on experience, which I crave and I know NYU can provide me with.
As I walked from Washington Square Park to Broadway, I’ve never felt so free. I have never actually felt as if I was accepted in a society like the diverse cultural atmosphere which lives and breathes NYU. Intellectually and socially, NYU offers exactly what I need. NYU prides itself on being very inviting and accepting of all gender norms, nationalities, and cultures. Coming from a Russian Background, I see the value of traveling and NYU gives me the extensive ability to study abroad while enriching myself with multiple perspectives.
As a child, I was never aware of my family’s financial struggles. My parents divorced when I was 12 and money became the central issue in my life. I found myself worrying about mortgages, health bills, and grocery money at a very young age. As I continued to grow, I vowed to myself that I would not struggle financially the way my parents had to. I want to escape the socioeconomic status I was born into, which is why I am pursuing a post-secondary education.
Since setting foot on campus two years ago, University of Chicago has been a beacon of inspiration to me. Every aspect, from the flexible, stellar academics to the extensive research opportunities to its proximity to Chicago matches the setting in which I hope to immerse myself in over the next four years. University of Chicago is known as the Life of the Mind, a wonderful reputation. Its unofficial yet infamous motto, “where fun goes to die”, is just as endearing as its true motto, “Crescat scientia; vita excolatur.” I know I will always be searching, reaching, and still feeling content knowing I will never grasp all knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application for the doctoral program at Florida Atlantic University. My interest in education began at a young age out of necessity. My upbringing was humble, and I was fortunate to have a healthy environment conducive to my education. However, that was the extent of my parents’ support.
To some, the University of Chicago may seem like just another college with the iconic speech about how you can make a club to match your interests, or how great the food is. However, once you go beneath the surface it is impossible to underestimate the educational and intellectual benefits as well as the community and possibilities which stem from UChicago. I first learned about the University of Chicago at the beginning of my junior year when I inquired for a list of suitable schools from my principal. After researching the University of Chicago, it became my first choice, I even have a poster on my bedroom wall! I became excited about the opportunities the chemistry department offers as well as the idea of the Common Core, the joining of an intellectually motivated community and the ability to make a difference as many other UChicago alumni have.
My educational experience in psychology has motivated me to pursue a master’s degree at NYU in general psychology with a focus on forensic psychology. My objectives while at NYU would be: acquire clinical techniques in order to conduct psychological testing on inmates; gain proficient knowledge in the law and legal system; advance my analytical writing skills for mental health assessments; and understand the basic psychological factors that influence jury decision-making. Following completion of the master's program, my career ambitions are to work with incarcerated individuals and develop a technique to reach inmates whose mental health disorders go unheeded. The general master's program in psychology would be an ideal place for me to continue my studies because of the rare
The heart of New York City is New York University. By joining the network of NYU, I will be able to study at an institution that has a long tradition of academic excellence among private universities in the United States. Additionally, I will be able to be part of an internationally recognized learning network with locations all across the globe. It would be a pleasure to study at a globally recognized university. A friend of mine who is a recent graduate from NYU College of Nursing has praised the program and conveyed to me a very positive experience.
