“Why us” school essay
学校: Northwestern University
Community is an important aspect of my life, and I want that to continue
throughout college. I am looking for a home away from home. Northwestern with its
strong community would be a good fit for me.
The residential housing at Northwestern looks like the ideal way to meet new
people and forge strong relationships. I am impressed by the relationship between
students and the faculty housemaster. As an undecided major, I look forward to
hearing the advice and guidance available in the houses. I am excited to explore the
Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, and appreciate the opportunities for
undergraduates to participate in research.
I’m looking to broaden my academic horizons at Northwestern. I’m
fascinated with courses in Gender and Sexuality Studies, and would be interested in
taking “Sexual Subjects: An Introduction to Sexuality Studies” in my first year. I’ve
never had the opportunity to take a class in gender studies, but would love to be
exposed to some.
Given my interest in medicine, I am very excited about the Northwestern
Undergraduate Premedical Scholars Program (NUPSP). I am particularly interested
in the combined Master of Arts in Medical Humanities and Bioethics program. I
would love to attend both undergraduate and graduate school at Northwestern, and
have an enriching background in medicine and the ethical questions it evokes.
I’m passionate about singing, and I would like to be a part of different groups
at the collegiate level. I’m eager to join an a cappella group, such as THUNK, which
promotes building friendships by a shared love of singing.
I appreciate that Northwestern is located in Evanston, because the university
has its own campus, but at the same time has all the perks of cosmopolitan Chicago.
