Pre Major Application Essay

I am requesting a pre major extension as I await to hear back from the Computer Science and Engineering school. There are a lot of reasons why I desire this major, primarily it is a (relatively) newly discovered passion of mine. I have grown up with computers and have always worked on them, for most of my life I spent time working with hardware rather than software, and after taking a class in 5th grade I never really figured it would be something I liked. While originally attempting to acquire a Physics major when I entered college I was required to take two CSE courses. I loved them both, and very quickly found myself up most nights creating and coming up with handly little programs. As my courses continued I had received word from my professors …show more content…

I get to have discuss ideas and theories as well as practical applications and alternative ways to complete a system. The CSE advisors have noted upon my mathematics and physics grades, and expressed concern but from experience, with the people who are actually in the field, with the people who are actually doing the work, I know that I not only would be a good fit but would excell at the program. My professors wouldn’t have asked me to help with their classes if I wasn’t extremely competent. My coworkers wouldn’t ask for programs and solutions for integrated systems if I wasn’t proficient. To further that, I think that UW’s initial investment into me as a student seeking CSE wouldn’t have gone through if I wasn’t supposed to do this. Every shot in my life has been a long one, I have had to constantly fight uphill battles, and I have faced rejection many, many times but, that is no reason not to try again. Computer Science is what I want to do with my life, I want to help develop structured artificial intelligence, to develop technologies and systems that can save lives. I don’t know where I will end up, but I want to devote my time, my life to research and development of new technologies no matter the

Students are required to take a few general education courses and major related courses in order to major in a certain field. This fails to prepare students for the challenges they may face in the work field once they graduate because employers search for college graduates who have developed certain skills. According to a survey by Florida Career College, approximately 53% of the employers they surveyed claim to have problems finding potential employees due to their lack of skills. CSUDH students are not receiving the education needed for the future. What CSUDH should have a student provide is to completing general education courses the first two years, then students would be able to choose different environments to engage in research based learning for their final two years.

Football and Jocks aren't all that the school serves I mind you. One of the Programs I am looking into is Ohio State University’s Computer Science Program. I like the program’s credibility and reputation for being one of the best. Due to OSU’s location and area, I can easily go there once I’ve graduated from Owens Community College.

A year ago I made the conscious decision to enroll in Arcadia University’s Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and to this day I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Instead of following the clear cut path of attending college right after high school, I decided it would be better to wait and attend a much more affordable Community College in the meantime. This proved beneficial in the long run for when it came time to transfer to a 4 year institution, I felt much more at ease with the concept of paying for college as well as keeping up with my studies. Arcadia University drew me in with its lush campus as well as it’s commitment to providing a much more global perspective to it ’s students both inside the classroom and out.

Growing up in a Christian household has nurtured my walk with God throughout my life. Since a young age, I have known God as my personal savior, but my faith and trust in Him have grown over the past several years. This past summer, I took part in a worship leader internship program at our church, which provided me with the opportunity to plan and lead worship services. Participating in this program helped me grow closer to God, but it also taught me how to be a leader rather than a follower. As God continues revealing His plan for my life, I feel called to attend Verity and to pursue my passion with a career in law enforcement.

Colleges throughout the United States say that around 50% of students are undecided in what they want and that 50% to 70% change majors while in school (University of Laverne). However, because CTE offers programs and skills that are relative to specific jobs, students are more likely to stay in his or her choice careers. Students also become more prepared for college because the work load can be intense. Most CTE programs offer duel enrollment, which means courses have a similar standard to a college level class. Generally, this can match with Advanced Placement (AP) because AP is a variation of taking a college level class in high school to earn college

Should shakespeare be taught in high school “To live too die, to live again,” these words you will very much know if you have read romeo and juliet since this is what is said in the book and is acted in so many ways.
