Wealth. Power. Fame. Acquiring more treasures beyond your imagination. This is what most people think of what a “Good Life” would be. One with self-gain and an extravagant life-style. But in time, riches will run out, power starts to expire, and luxury will deteriorate. A life of abundance is like a flower: appeling to the eyes one day, but will soon abate the next. If one is to truly live the “Good Life” it must be a life not filled...

THE ESSAY WILL CHANGE EVERY YEAR! (Last years asked for a personal statement about an extra-curricular activity) The overarching theme for the University of Florida's class of 2019 is finding what the "Good Life" really is. This theme is so apparent in the school, that undergrad students are required to take a course called "What is the Good Life", and incoming Freshman have to write about what they think it is. My advice for writing any kind of college or scholarship...

What I now know about my school that I never would have known prior to enrolling
565 Words
Ok, so for anyone enrolling at UF, on the application there will be a section asking you if you are interested in joining the Innovation Academy... if they have your major, I would highly suggest that you apply for this program if you are innovation minded (and most importantly if they offer your major). At first I had no idea what it was, so I just marked that I was interested. When the time came to check if I was accepted into UF, it came up as starting in the Spring of 2016 in the Innovation Academy. At first, I had...

The only school I had to do an interview with as part of the application process was Vanderbilt University. Vanderbilt's interview process was to meet with an alumni (that you selected from a list) around your area. Once they were contacted, you would meet with them in whatever location they had chosen. For me, I was interviewed by a women, and we met in a local library. She asked me about school related questions like "what classes do you take", "what extra-circulars are...

Reaching out to professors and coaches at schools I applied to

This advice column is more of what I have experienced with coaches, intercollegiate sports, and earning scholarships. I originally decided to apply for Asbury University in order to play lacrosse at a Divison 3 level (If you don't know D1 is the most competitive, while D3 is the least.) I wanted to play lacrosse since I really needed money for college, and Asbury was opening up a team for Division 3 lacrosse so I had a really good shot at getting in. I started off by contacting the women's lacrosse coach. For Asbury (and maybe some other schools as well) in order...

How to approach transferring schools
398 Words
I have never transferred schools (so far..), but I do have some knowledge on transferring from a community college to a major university for your third year. Before first touring UF, I decided to tour UF's sister community college, Santa Fe College. I originally had in mind to go to Santa Fe and then transfer over to the University of Florida after my sophomore year in college. I knew I had a good shot at getting in to UF after SFC since almost 90% of students who went to Santa Fe College got accepted to UF right after their sophomore year....
