Leaving my present college and attending Virginia Tech will present me with additional opportunities to become independent. If I were to attend Virginia Tech, I would be extremely motivated to become independent knowing that I’m going to be living by myself. I will gain a lot from this experience because I’m going to have to live on my own in the future. I specifically chose Virginia Tech over other institutions because it’s where most of my family and friends are. Having that support is also very crucial to me because it can significantly impact me both personally and academically.
I want to embrace the challenge of USC. As a Film and Television Production major, I know that I can expect a fast-paced, hands-on learning environment. Will it be demanding? Of course. Will I occasionally feel overwhelmed?
Georgia Tech is the land of opportunity. The institute pushes its students to work to the best of their abilities, and students see immediate results upon graduation. Aside from its top-notch education, Tech offers one of the best co-op programs and dance associations. As a tactile learner, not only will I gain experience in my career field, I will also be ready to work after graduation. Furthermore, the dance association at Tech will help me meet new, driven people and take me out of my comfort zone.
I will acquire a B.S. Chemistry major through the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Science. I want to apply this knowledge in the undergraduate research opportunities offered at USC. Specifically, I would like to take part in the USC Women in Science and Engineering research program. The USC WiSE research program is offering a supportive environment for men and women who plan to build a career in the science and engineering; I want to take advantage of this supportive environment. I want to pursue a career as a researcher, and I know this program will help me develop a successful career as a researcher.
My academic interest at USC is to pursue a path down the business administration field, to grow my knowledge and to understand how to apply concepts taught in class into the real world. I believe that the Marshall School of Business is one of the best places in the country where I can learn and grasp the intricate structure of business administration, particularly in entrepreneurship. My goal in life is to one day own a business starting from the foundation working up to however vastly it may grow. With one of the best entrepreneurship programs in the nation, Marshall goes far beyond the average business curriculum, which is what I’m yearning for. At USC I intended to pursue internships with companies that can provide insight of how businesses
There are many things that I’m looking forward to in this next year. This includes my academic interests, career objective, and some SDSU activities. My academic interests would be to go into either Interior Design or Animal Science. I haven’t fully decided which one I will go into, but I know that SDSU will be able to help me narrow this down. I’ve chosen these two careers because they seemed interesting to me.
I chose to pursue a degree in political science in order to obtain a career that would provide me the capacity to have a significant and lasting impact on my community. As a political science student at USC, I would pursue any opportunity that would enrich my academic experience as well as allow me to become an effective leader that contributes to the USC community. One potential opportunity that I would seek upon becoming a USC student is to join the Political Science Undergraduate Association, or the PSUA. As a dedicated student, I admire the experience and knowledge of each faculty member and consider them invaluable resources. I believe that joining this organization and eventually gaining a leadership role would allow me to promote learning
COMMON APP [707] Graduating from high school, I knew I wanted to attend a university that had a strong computer science program, a culture of entrepreneurship, and students who were happy. In many ways, my time at USC has largely satisfied these criteria and taught me a lot about what I want out of my undergraduate experience. However, it has also spurred intellectual development and changed my academic plans, leading me to believe that transferring schools will help me fully achieve my goals.
At USC, I plan to pursue a major in business economics. USC is the right school for me to pursue business economic because USC’s optimal location is within downtown Los Angeles, which can give me access to internships with the nation’s top corporations. The Marshall School of Business will promote the necessary leadership skills for training in negotiations and ethical decision making to succeed in business because the curriculum allows undergraduates to achieve knowledge and skills for a successful performance in a complex environment. The school also has an exceptional amount of departments, but in particular, the Finance and Business Economic at Marshall encourages students’ learning abilities and guides them through understanding the types of markets and how to effectively manage different types of enterprises.
As a computer science student, I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating something from nothing, and the limitless potential that technology has to offer. I started my academic journey at Riverside City College, where I was able to gain a solid foundation in computer science and develop my programming skills. However, I have always felt that I was not reaching my full potential and that I needed to continue my education at a university where I could further develop my skills and knowledge. This is why I have decided to transfer to the University of Southern California. My primary reason for transferring to USC is to be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about technology and its potential to change the world.
I’m applying to Georgia Tech’s master’s program in Electrical Engineering in pursuit of learning more about Systems and Control Theory in addition to Signal Processing Theory and Applied Mathematics. I have garnered an interest in these fields through my undergrad classes and extensive research experience. Georgia Tech’s Electrical Engineering department has several great opportunities and programs that align with my interests, and I hope to take full advantage of these opportunities if accepted. One way I have been exposed to the field of System Theory is through my undergrad classes.
I am writing to express my continued interest in Georgia Tech. I am particularly drawn to the College of Computing’s Computer Science curriculum – the Thread program, outstanding faculty, and state of the art facilities are what specifically make Georgia Tech my dream school. Throughout my high school career, I have excelled in AP Computer Science courses, been involved in Programming Club activities, and led my high school programming team to Code Quest, a programming competition at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. I am eager to join the Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Computing (UROC) program and make an impact in the field of Computer Science with my interest in Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning.
Statement of Purpose Coming from a generation that is considered to be frivolous by our preceding generation, I assure you that despite our non-pristine ways; the basis of what we millennials want to do is the same as what they do: make a difference in the lives of people and make this world a better place. Not too long ago, I thought that earning a degree, finding a job would help me lead a happy, fulfilling life. It didn’t even seem that difficult at the time until I actually went to college and got exposed to some real world situations of life. While having a full life was an important part of my plan, I learned that it wasn’t enough. My father taught me to believe that every life on this planet has a purpose and I consequently instilled
