VCU Personal Statement

248 Words1 Pages
For years, I have dreamed of pursuing a career in psychology and living in Amsterdam. The exploration of the human mind and how it can be manipulated and the vibrant culture of the Netherlands capital are fascinating. VCU will help me obtain that dream.

When I attended a VCU open house, I had every intention to major in psychology; however, I was instantly drawn to a mass communications major, advertising. It's a psychology based major that merges with creativity. The events held, such as the annual CreateAThon, open minds to new ways of thinking. Not only would I love to pursue a career in advertising after earning a Bachelor's degree, but VCU also offers a well-established program to teach skills needed to enter the industry.

Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is thus my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems.
