NYU Personal Statement

Membership in Ball State University's Honors College presents an opportunity for me to be surrounded by peers who share a similar commitment to academic excellence. I am eager to build beneficial connections with like-minded students who take their education seriously. Furthermore, I look forward to interacting with professors who will challenge me to grow to my full potential. I believe that this stimulating and rigorous academic environment will push me to excel academically and personally.

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 prospective member of the Masters of Arts in History program at Liberty University I hope to accomplish several things. I am currently serving as a high school history teacher and this program will benefit both my students and myself alike in the foreseeable future. This includes reaching the goals of earning my master’s degree which will result in a higher level of professional knowledge in my content area, while increasing my income simultaneously. This is not the only positive factor, Liberty’s program will also contribute directly to growth in regards to my relationship with Jesus Christ.

While in this program I wish to develop a stronger sense of my passion and field for science and to find a pathway that I would like to go on. While learning I also wish to get to know peers and companions and to socialize and make connections with my fellow peers. One of the pathways that I would like to go on at this moment is I would like to go on the medical pathway and become an oncologist which is a doctor for the study of cancer. Doctors play such a vital role in our everyday

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

At NYU, I hope to achieve this goal. I aspire to give structure to my life by participating in rigorous courses that will enable me to pursue a career in treating mental illnesses. In the College of Arts and Sciences, I intend to acquire skills in communication, analytical thinking and understanding human social behavior, cultivating my passion for understanding what makes the human brain so fascinating. Situated in one of the largest cultural hubs of the world, NYU would allow me to, like the squiggle, explore my interests. I would be able to visit museums such as the Whitney or take part in clubs such the Slam Poetry Club and Model UN or even partake in the annual Strawberry Festival.

University of Chicago has the major I am interested in, Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neuroscience. Through the wide variety of study abroad opportunities the university offers, I could study about Middle Eastern civilizations in Jerusalem or civilizations while in Vienna. Along with studying abroad, I would love to take a Big Problem course in my senior year of college. A Big Problem course would give me the skills and knowledge needed to face major problems in the field I desire to pursue, the medical field. I aspire to become a pediatric neurologist to help alleviate the impact a mental or intellectual disability has on children with special needs.

The University of Chicago, as I know it now, satisfies my desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future. The University of Chicago’s website states: “Our goal is to offer students a wide range of out-of-class experiences that build skills in preparation for academics and life in a community of scholars.” Throughout life, I have enjoyed out-of-class experiences related to what was currently being taught in school. These experiences have not only helped me understand was being taught, but they have helped me enjoy the subjects that I did not so highly favor. For this reason, I concur with this promotion style of educational development due to the fact that it brings me the same joy as I used to have when I woke up for school

I am passionate about exploring the unusual, and eclectic , parts of popular culture. NYU was never somewhere I grew up striving for; I had spent so much time thinking that in order to foster my needs as learner, and creator, I needed a "small school. " My preconceived notions of large, and high-achieving academic schools, were completely obliterated as soon as I set foot in Washington Square Park. NYU exemplifies difference, and seemed to embrace every facet of person equally: an extremely diverse campus, an incredible array of clubs and campus-life activities, and individual schools garnering to any students needs.

New York University has always been the school I have pictured myself attending since I was a child. I walk past NYU on my way home from school everyday and I can picture myself being involved in the energetic atmosphere that the school provides. NYU is a school which I believe will challenge me both academically and socially to help me become the best version of myself that I can be.   The types of people which NYU help to educate are nothing short of spectacular both as people and in their fields.

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.

Happiness: the emotional state I strive to be in every day. My top goal in life is to spend as many days as I can happy and therefore, I only want to do things that make me happy. That being said, I’m ecstatic to be attending NYU for music business because it is the only school with the academic program tailored specifically to my dream career. Academically, I not only want to gain as much knowledge about the music business as possible, but also learn how to apply everything that I’ve learned in class to my life. I’m confident that NYU will teach me massive amounts of information about the music business and how to be successful within it, and I believe that the university will make me question the status quo and challenge me to change it.

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.

Interacting among community leaders is one thing I never tire of doing. I always look forward to working with children at my local Boys and Girls Club or working within my neighborhood; doing one’s best to make a change. This job teaches me to be patient with people because they came from many backgrounds. My experience has shown me, the University’s obligation lies not solely in challenging its students. But furthermore providing opportunities for those students to challenge themselves and to have an understanding of the many cultural groups at NYU.

When you feel that the campus is your home then your responsibility to lead and improve the corporative student community is full-grown. I cam to KU in 2011 and since then I recruited my self to serve in this community as part of my daily life tasks. The main propose of each student in this valuable society is to learn and convey what you gain to the other group of people who involve in this campus or have chance to associate with your life in one day. I focused on my study and in the same line I serve in KU as a passion person with self-esteem that I cam here to gain academic successes, social and cultural knowledge and personal strength. To be successful and inspiring leadership, I need to be a supportive human to the success of others as an important part of your success.
