447 Words2 Pages

I am applying to the University of Pennsylvania for the prestige, high-quality education, and progressive environment. I have lived in many places, around a variety of people, and felt vibes that persist in different environments. Discovering that I want to live in a place that is progressive, I also found that I want to surround myself with people who have ambition and crave life enhancement.

    Journal #2 The purpose of the article,“What Colleges Want to See on Your Application” by Emily Driscoll, is to discuss what would differentiate future college applicants in a pool of indistinguishable applications and to aid them in their quest for higher education. This article does have bias in that the author fails to consider Seniors, or students about to graduate from high school, who have neither challenged themselves nor engaged in their neighborhood. Driscoll assumes that their audience has been through every step from community service to recommendations, or has the opportunity to make up for lost time. In the article “What Colleges Want to See on Your Application,” Emily Driscoll discusses the contents the best application must display.

    To the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the University of Chicago, While I originally waitlisted for admission into the Class of 2021, I am still firmly committed to attending the University of Chicago as my first choice for next fall and would happily matriculate immediately, should I be accepted off of the wait list. When I first began applying to colleges late last year, nearly everyone warned me to apply to a sufficient number of “safety schools,” schools at which I would safely and almost certainly be admitted. I thought of “safety” in a different way, however. To me, the University of Chicago was my “safety school”—certainly not in the sense that I would be guaranteed admission, but in that I would be safe to do many of

    My reason to attend Penn State University, Abington, in the fall of 2016 was based on the opportunity that was given to me to explore the area around Philadelphia and to transfer to Penn State University, University Park, within the next two years. Even though I stressed about studying SAT and ACT, writing college admission essays, and balancing my school work at the same time, I was not excited about going to a college as much as my peers and friends were. For me, college was simply an extension of a high school, and it is something I regret and wish to change. I wish I was excited about going to a college, brainstorming creative ideas for my essay to be liked by college administrators and crying for joy that I am going somewhere where I can pursue my dream. Unfortunately, I did not even know what
