Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay653 WordsAcademically, the fact that the University of Pennsylvania has not let the liberal arts/humanities become a degree of the past strongly resonates with me. Especially in our career-driven society, UPenn has not let this idea subtract focus from liberal arts based degrees and non-technical programs. For me, this is particularly significant through the continuation of Penn’s History of Art department. The History of Art department has several elements that make it especially appealing to what I wish to...Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school289 WordsStudying at NYU offers me the opportunity to become an individual who is global, inspired, smart, connected, and bold. I aspire to be a woman who has all of these qualities and uses them to her full advantage. NYU’s urban and global aspects connect me to a network that will aid in my studies and eventual career in art history and French language. With a campus in the heart of Manhattan and an extensive study abroad program, I will...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay228 WordsWhat I find most appealing about The George Washington University is how it will provide the perfect academics and location for what I wish to pursue in college. Choosing to study Art History and French is risky business (or so I have been told by many, many, people) but I know I can make it work with the knowledge and experiences gained from a GW education. At GW I will have a wide range of classes to choose from in...Supplemental Essay: Scholarship application451 WordsUniversity of Delaware Honors Program Application Essay: I would be nothing without art. I have never been a master of the English language or great with tools or electronics. Words do flow easily and I have contemplated these sentences that I have written for hours on end already. This is why I have always turned to art. Art is a way of expressing myself that does not require anything but my hands, a pencil, and a piece of paper and...School Specific Advice
Why I ultimately chose my school75 WordsAlthough I wanted to be farther away from my hometown, Penn was the right fit for me. It has one of the best...List of schools I interviewed with and my interview experience266 WordsI interviewed with three schools - Georgetown, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania. All of the interviews were with alumni of each school, which is a pretty common part of the application process for most top tier schools. For my Columbia and Georgetown interviews I met with the alumni in person, at places near me, but my Penn interview was over Skype because the alumna lived in a different state than me. All of the interviews were relatively casual and...My extracurricular activities in college, and why I chose them156 WordsAs of the end of my freshman year, I am involved in two extracurricular groups at Penn. I chose to only participate in a few activities in my first year in order to focus on my studies and make sure I was not too overwhelmed while I...My extracurricular activities in college, and why I chose them432 WordsAs a current student at Penn, I'm involved in a few extra-curricular activities. Most students on Penn's campus are very involved in extra-curricular activities and we have plenty of student groups and clubs to choose to join. I am personally a member of the Penn Cheerleading team, a tour guide with the Kite and Key Society, and a member of the bipartisan student political group called No Labels. I also have a work study job where I work in the office of my College House so I am also involved in student and campus life in that aspect. I definitely...What I like about my school’s location and culture168 WordsSomething that really drew me to choose Penn and something that I still love about going here is the location of campus. A lot of people at Penn will talk about the "Penn Bubble" which is basically the "bubble" that forms around our campus since the campus is very densely...How important school spirit is around athletics at my school168 WordsAs a tour guide and cheerleader at Penn, this was one of the most frequent questions I was asked. In general, I wouldn't say typical Penn students are very enthusiastic about athletics. Obviously Penn students are proud to be attending the school so I would say school spirit is high,...My schedule on a typical weekday118 WordsFor my first three years at Penn, my typical week day included 2-3 classes, usually about an hour long each, working at my part-time on campus job, studying in my apartment (often with friends), eating...

Absolutely nothing could describe my feelings of delight as I read the headline, “Rowan University to Build New Bookstore” when I was fourteen. One of the perks of living in a college town is the constant change in environment; new buildings, stores, dorms, and the occasional parking garage can pop up at any moment and to me, nothing was a better choice to add to our town than a Barnes and Noble. A place where I felt perfectly content would...
