Ap Psychology Personal Statement Examples

Despite being incredibly passionate about psychology, I cannot seem to pinpoint exactly when and where this passion came from. The farthest I can go back is when I was thirteen and deciding that I would study psychology in college. I didn’t know where I would study it, or what I would do afterwards, but I knew that I wanted to learn about behavior and the human mind. Once I got to high school, I became very serious about what I wanted to do, and what would best help me achieve doing it. I joined my school’s Psychology Club, and took any and all helpful classes. Alongside that, I did anything that I could to ensure myself a good education, including joining three other clubs, and participating in educational programs. I also made sure that I kept myself on top of my schoolwork, which led to my induction into National Honor Society. …show more content…

I took classes such as Psychology in my junior year, followed by AP Psychology my senior year. Apart from those, I also took classes such as Statistics and Probability, Sociology, and made sure to do as well as I could in my biology and chemistry classes. I participated in extracurricular activities apart from Psychology Club such as singing in the school choir for four consecutive years, Drama Club, Ecology Club, and Athena Club, which was dedicated to the topic of gender equality and women’s studies. Furthermore, I participated in Penn State’s Upward Bound Saturday Academy, for which I achieved Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance, before attending their summer

    To be truthful, my fascination in psychology had been somewhat sporadic; appearing in my earlier childhood years then getting deflected in my earlier middle school years due to the rigmarole over my grandma’s operations, then again reemerging in my high school years after my grandma’s death. My grandma’s death was the trigger for my reemerged love for psychology.

    'If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.' Psychology has been a part of my life indirectly for many years, from something as an impromptu counseling session for a friend with emotional trauma to self analyzing to just looking and observing people's behavior, I have always been fascinated by people and the way they behave, but it is only as I have grown older and become more aware of psychology that I have begun to question why people are the way they are, why they interact differently with other people and why we all take a different approach to certain situations. I also find it interesting how society, culture and the attitudes and opinions of other people can have such an impact on a person's behavior. During the first couple of years of high school I was somewhat reserved and barely spoke out in class.

    My fascination with the discipline of psychology began in grade eleven when learning about Sigmund Freud’s theory of the unconscious mind, Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Stanley Milgram’s study on obedience etc. There were two reasons why I found Psychology so captivating, one was that I was able to apply it to my own personal life. This was something completely new since, subjects such as physics, chemistry, and math are sometimes hard to “see”, relate to, or apply to one’s life. The second reason was that whenever I had homework or assignments due for that class I never felt like I was actually “doing homework”, meaning, I was actually motivated to study and learn. Due to this unique feature that psychology had, I decided to study psychology for my bachelor’s degree.

    I have always been interested in the field of psychology because I am fascinated by people. Why they do what they do, why they think how they think, why they feel the way they feel. As my studies progressed, I began to narrow my interest and through a series of friends and books, I became really interested in the way humans at this particular moment are striving to develop computer systems that behave, think, and feel the way humans do. For this reason, I am now pursuing a second degree in computer science. Although some do not see a clear connection between psychology and computer science, I have noticed that even the most basic programs require a level of understanding of human cognition.
