Personal Statement112 WordsCareer aspirations, Creative personal story, Interest in other academic subject, Story central to identityThese experiments have led me to discover that my passion lies in working to understand what leads people to function best and realize their full potential. I want to unlock the secrets behind their motivations, discover how people learn, and figure out how to elicit reactions. I want to find solutions to problems and behaviors, and learn how to use that information to make life better. I am interested in research, in analyzing data to find better solutions, and in...Read more...Supplemental Essay Explaining low grades/scores185 WordsMy high school is considered to be very academically rigorous; we are only given the option to take the highest level available of any required core class. As a result, I have taken only AP history courses, although history is not a strong subject of mine. While I believe I might have experienced a higher level of academic success if I had the ability to take geography, world history, and US history as non-AP courses, the ongoing challenge has put...Read more...Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay235 WordsWhen I first created a list of prospective colleges, I was drawn to small, liberal arts, undergraduate-only schools.

I was initially drawn to the cognitive behavioral aspects of psychology, and the research done in the field to understand human behavior. My AP Statistics class opened my eyes to the discipline of research and reporting psychological results, and demonstrated that conducting experiments was a realistic dream. Meanwhile, anatomy and physiology revealed my aptitude for solving puzzles through my fascination in studying how the body functions as a unit. I...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school501 WordsHistory has never been my favorite subject, and the graduation requirements at my school fueled the three-year bitter battle between me and AP courses that I only recently won. The nature of AP courses leaves little room for extensive discussion and analysis of overarching themes, but focuses instead on memorization of names and dates from a textbook.The sheer volume of information presented in history classes is intimidating, and I have long struggled to find the best way to approach...Read more...General Admissions Advice
