I am interested in taking courses in Cognitive Development and Developmental Psychology, which cover topics regarding child development, emotions, and knowledge. Moreover, I hope to have the opportunity to meet Dr. Shelly Schreier, whose expertise overlaps with my academic focus, as I want to study the social behavior of children and childhood brain development.

Most of the institutions I have applied to have discussed intensive study abroad programs, but Stern was the only one that offered an opportunity to maintain connections with classmates during the experience by sending an entire class abroad at the same time. In my experience in the International Baccalaureate program, I have learned that developing bonds with students who share my love for learning is a critical part of the establishment of my body of knowledge. Maintaining this connection in a study abroad program is something that I didn’t even truly think was possible, yet NYU brings life to this form of student community building. Furthermore, the faculty at NYU would provide me with an opportunity to learn from experienced individuals about how to compete in business. I have always had a competitive edge, and professors who have experienced the volatility of global markets and industries would help focus my competitiveness.

It is been a while since I wrote my last personal statement for my graduate school application. I am not a quick decision maker most of the time, but interestingly I made the decision to join CFRM without much pondering.

Being Indian, I have always witnessed a culture of studying, not learning. Children would gulp down textbooks and vomit on the examination papers only to secure an A grade but, to no avail.

Learning about the University of Edinburgh’s MSc Education (Comparative Education and International Development), I was intrigued by the suitability of the course to my intellectual needs.
