Pseudographica Personal Statement

502 Words3 Pages

I have loved living on my own, reading hundreds of pages on Aquinas and the Pseudographica, researching the literary history of Martian science fiction, staying up late wrestling bugs out of Tetris code, writing scripts for robotics research, and working to digitize thousands of alumni archives. College is something that I enjoy and am doing well – it it the specific college, and not academics, that is prompting me to transfer. My goal is not to radically change my path, but to continue with my successes in a place that is more conducive to the life I want to lead. I am hoping to take classes somewhere that will uphold and surpass the academic challenges I am used to. My GPA is the result of real love for the topics I study, and in transferring I would have better access to professors and resources related to my dedicated interests of computer science, …show more content…

I was drawn to it originally because of its exciting location, dedication to service, strong computer science program, and relationship with Silicon Valley. These are the same things that are drawing me back to it. Its strong academics will maintain my record of a challenging course load, while a life in vibrant San Francisco will provide a very different environment than rural South Hadley. Its commitment to social justice and involved learning aligns with my own goals for education. I am particularly looking forward to joining the Foghorn newspaper, taking courses in comparative literature, and offering my assistance to the CS4SF program. Accessible community and cultural events, paired with the professional preparation and research opportunities of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, are the changes that USF can offer and that I believe would make my college experience more rewarding. I feel that it can fulfill both my academic and personal goals; it is the institution where I want to complete my undergraduate

  • Husky Open Admissions Analysis

    438 Words  | 2 Pages

    After listening to the wisdom of Husky, one can recognize that he offers valuable insights, but also provides some inaccurate information regarding academic affairs in community college. Beginning with the valuable information, he is correct when he states that the cost of community college, in both tuition and price-per-credit, is significantly lower than a four-year institution. He is also partly correct about the curriculum. For students enrolled with the intention of transferring to a four-year institution, general education courses in the liberal arts are offered that will transfer to their desired school. He explains that these liberal arts courses are generally smaller than those offered at larger schools, and provide for more interaction with the instructor – both claims are true.

    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.

    As I sit in the basement of the Lilly Library, surrounded by friends who have become family in a few short months, covered in calculus and EQ notes, and listening to some Duke Ellington jazz music for my Music 101 class, I can’t help but reflect on what this year has meant to me and my development as a student, athlete, brother, friend, and person. I entered Wabash College not exactly sure what to expect; I knew it was going to be different, but I also knew that with change I wanted to keep an open mind that was ready to learn and grow. Freshman tutorial and especially enduring questions are two classes that have pushed my boundaries as a person, forcing me to question core beliefs and ideas that seemed previously engrained in my mind.

    After speaking with Rachel Gionta it seemed right to show that I have more to offer Temple University than just the criteria that I meet, and ask for a reconsideration for a university scholarship. Not only do I meet the criteria with my cumulative GPA of 4.1107, SAT Critical Reading and Math score of 1210, and my ACT composite score of 26, but the involvement inside of my school is the defining aspect that can separate me from the other peers who only meet the criteria shown in their scores. Temple seems like the only university I can truly identify with. Its urban persona mixed with multiple opportunities to better myself through clubs and volunteer work is perfect for my outgoing and generous personality.
