I am delighted to apply to Illinois State University. I am planning to attend an open house to ISU so I can view the campus but from what I have seen online and read from the students ISU is a great campus. The open campus looks enjoyable and relaxing, from what I have seen in the pictures, and from reading alumni reviews about Illinois State, there were only positive things about the school and its courses. I would like to attend Illinois State for many reasons; First, I am interested in possibly double majoring in French and International business, ISU excels in both programs. Furthermore, ISU offers many classes and tutoring to assist me in meeting my education goals.
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.
I always knew NYU was meant for me. After getting rejected as a first-time freshman, I did not get easily discouraged, instead, I devoted two amazing learning years to nursing prerequisites at Cypress College, viewing this setback as an opportunity for growth and improvement in all aspects of my life. As I wrap up my journey at community college to take the next step in my life, I ask myself, “How will I be able to make a difference in healthcare and make efforts to positively change my community?” As a first-generation college student who's been surrounded by Hispanics throughout my life, I know how stubborn and scared my community is to get the medical attention they need and deserve. Working as a bilingual nursing assistant, I have created
As I near my final semesters at NDSU and look towards graduate school I can’t help but try and summarize my time here. I have learned so much about my passion for design and the potential I have to do great things thanks to the education NDSU has provided me. In truth I have never really lived the “real college experience” because that is not what I want to remember when I look back at my collegiate experience. I don’t want to remember the parties I went to, I want to remember the late nights spent in studio chasing a design, the hours spent with my friends and peers working through architecture problems, and the connections I’ve made with faculty members in the architecture department who’ve become almost a second family. If I were to summarize
College is one of the most stimulating stages we experience, it's the very first step as we trail up the ascending staircase to our goals and desires. NYU is the college of my greatest interest as I am aware of the opportunities which this school will provide me with. As a child of immigrants who have come to this country to see their daughter prosper academically, I know that my parents can rest assured that I will be able to explore the wide range of programs which are tailored to students needs. More specifically the field of Neural Science. NYU is one of the schools in New York City with a valued Neural Science Program.
After many weeks of going back and forth between them and discussing with my family and counselor, I finally came to the conclusion that I wanted to major in business. My father is a successful owner of two businesses and my mother started her own business recently, which definitely inspired me to want to start a business of my own in the future. Choosing W.P. Carey School of Business was an easy decision because it is one of the largest business schools in the country and ranked #1 in innovation. My major is
I believe as a returning student to ISU, I had a unique experience in the class. I graduated with a degree in Child, Adult, and Family Services in May and decided that teaching was my true passion so I returned to Iowa State to begin earning that degree. I have worked for about four years for United Community Schools as a Lead Childcare Associate and as a Substitute Associate in both preschool and special education. Additionally, I have spent time as a Special Education Associate in Ankeny and have volunteered in Ames Community School District Classrooms. With my experience, I have spent a lot of time in schools and in classrooms.
New York University’s fervor to educate future leaders of tomorrow, its dedication to advance the frontiers of scientific research, and its commitment to create a diverse, thriving community–these philosophies are what inspire me to attend NYU. Climate change is one of the most severe problems our global community faces, and already, populations from around the world are vulnerable to issues of water sanitation, food shortages, and security risks. Through my experience leading Give Hope with Soap – a global service initiative providing clean water to the people of Malawi, Africa – I discovered nearly thirty-three percent of the world’s population lives without access to freshwater. Even worse, by 2025, two-thirds of the planet could suffer from freshwater shortages. With the drastic rise in these problems throughout the world, I believe producing ample, clean water will require innovative thinking and unique solutions.
I have always been involved beyond the classroom with the schools I attend. I attended King Kekaulike High School in Maui. My freshman year, I was an active member in Interact club, a local service club. I was also on the junior varsity volleyball team and the girls varsity soccer team. I was the team captain for the girls varsity soccer team at KKHS both my junior and senior year.
After I graduate high school, I am interested in attending Iowa State University. ISU requires four years of english/language arts, three years of math, three years of science, and two years of social studies in high school. For the RAI, students who achieve a 245 or higher are automatically offered admission. I believe this seems very reasonable and is easily achievable. I am interested in going into computer science at Iowa State University, which requires about 120 credits.
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. Through my clinical experiences, coursework, and experiences outside of the classroom, I have gained a deeper appreciation for what it means to work in special education. I have decided that I will get a Masters in School Counseling and work as an academic advisor for special education students. Through this path, I will be able to continue learning more and
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
“A good education is the greatest gift you can give yourself or anyone else.” I have dreamed about college since the seventh grade, and once I began high school, I learned so much about it. With college now being right around the corner, I finally now what I want, a school that is close to home while being far enough to establish independence. I have done a lot of research on Illinois State University, and it seems to be the perfect fit for all I have ever wanted in my college experience. It is the full package of great academic programs, student life, and options.
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.
