As an aspiring physician, one of my main reasons for joining the Honors College is to gain the best possible scientific education that I possibly can in my undergraduate years at Purdue. Through the Honors College, I would gain prioritized access to research opportunities and certain classes. With the prioritization to research opportunities, I would be capable of grasping scientific concepts in a real world environment, which is pivotal to my success in the medical field. I would be able to delve deeper into concepts that may have been unavailable to me if I would not have been a part of the Honors College. In addition, the prioritization in choosing my collegiate classes would allow me to sculpt my schedule to encompass both my scientific …show more content…
The sense of community established through the Honors College residential dorms would influence me to aid my fellow college students in challenging topics which I may already understand. This would create a sense of communal learning that many colleges lack, due to the competitive nature of the university. In this way, I along with my peers would both be able to reach our academic potential. Additionally, priority that I would obtain for undergraduate research would allow me to not only benefit from an increased understanding of science but would allow me to contribute to the research community. Through a prolonged experience in scientific research from my freshman year onward, I would be able to make many innovative contributions to the research that I would be working on. Furthermore, the Honors College would foster my leadership qualities. As an honors student, I would be among others who are as academically talented as I am. Being constantly surrounded by those of similar academic talent would push me to be a leader to those who may be struggling in the collegiate environment. I would be able to do this through either creating or joining a student run tutoring service that would allow me to tutor struggling students in a subject that I had already successfully
An HBCU is a college/university that embeds the nature of power and black excellence; a place with surroundings that doesn’t force you, but makes you want to push yourself to become a better person inside and out, and throughout the community. Transferring would allow myself to be put in an atmosphere of continuous motivation and growth that I would feed off of my superiors and the people around me.
Admittance into the University of Georgia’s Honors Program would push me to continually test my potential in the pursuit of my Pre-Medical studies. I take pride in challenging myself to completely master a field of study that enhance my capabilities, and therefore, prepare myself to strive for my next goal in life. In order to grow into a better and improved self, one would need to test unfamiliar waters and reach new heights. The Honors Program ensures this growth by bringing in unaccustomed, rigorous, and beneficial material one cannot simply find in a traditional setting with their head in a textbook. Students are more able to grasp information through exploration and peer discussion which the Honors Program would provide. I believe that

College is also about the connections that you make in your major and with your peers. A recent study found that students who were involved in extracurricular activities had a positive impact on how well college has fostered their career skills and development. Why sacrifice all of that for the sake of
Some would say this is just because they’re the people I have to spend the majority of my time with, but that isn’t true. I love spending time with people who willingly form study groups and have strong interests in academic subjects. Even if I’m just going to Panera to hang out with someone, I usually end up learning something new or teaching. In college, I want to continue to surround myself with the type of people who read about Middle Eastern relations or write computer codes in their free time. Residing in Toscanini College will allow me to continue surrounding myself with fellow lovers of learning both inside and outside of my classes. I’d love to participate in a Pizza and Game Night or see a Broadway show with friends through the unique opportunities the Honors College has to offer. While the Honors College courses will allow me to be intellectually stimulated in school, the social activities offered will allow this intellectual stimulation to extend to the world
I told someone when I was younger that I wanted to cure people. 4 years ago, I told one of my teachers I wanted to find the best school that would allow me to do that. A year ago, I went to Wayne State and I found it, my major and my school. Being interested in science and math has been a major component in my studies and choosing a career path. Devoting time to helping and working with others doing volunteer work makes the decision a whole lot better. Majoring in Pharmacy is the right path and Wayne State University will give me the best chance at following that path.
I will definitely enjoy the independence of campus life. The camaraderie, which will develop, should only add to the college experience. The courses will be challenging but I am willing to do what it takes to achieve my ultimate goal, which was alluded to earlier. The untapped potential is there. I would like to be given the opportunity to show what I can accomplish.
AP students often sacrifice many aspects of their teen lives. To gain success later on life, many of these students take hard-level classes. Instead of partying and enjoying their teenage lives, many are often seen doing all their homework and getting their work done. These students often sacrifice most of their time doing extracurricular activities and schoolwork instead of enjoying their teenage years. They sacrifice their time on schoolwork rather than spending quality time with their family and friends. AP students put all their hard work and dedication so they can achieve something later on in the future. College students, just like AP students, also sacrifice their time without being with their families. Many college students, often AP, go to Ivy League colleges and stay at dorms just so they can fully concentrate on their studies. AP/Honors/College students all sacrifice something so th...
I began my college career unsure of the path ahead of me. I knew I had a passion for medicine, however, I did not know which direction I would take. With the expansive amount of options offered within the fields of science and medicine, it was difficult to narrow down exactly what direction I wanted to take. I gained some clarity the summer of my sophomore year when I stayed at a close friend’s home, whose father, a practicing Medical Physician, became somewhat of a mentor to me. The passionate way in which he discussed the practice of medicine led me to develop an interest in pursuing a career as a physician. He explained that a career in the medical field was about responsibility, the responsibility to work with all members of the healthcare team for the well-being of the patient as well as their family
For these courses to be successful, the students as well as the professor must be on board and on the same page. To define an ideal Honors Course will help the student get on track with the Honors curriculum. One must first define an honors course for themselves, identify the objectives and to identify the possible outcomes one wishes to achieve. For me personally, I'm a math guy, and I would like to do higher level work to help develop ideas that may help all of the people in the math world and
The Honors Program is less about reward and more about the push for personal growth for myself. The last four years have shown to be a challenge, from being the first year student in Pre-calculus to being the junior who is aiming for a five on the AP test. I came from having mostly A’s, with few B’s, to being the student who earned A’s in every class. Personal motivation led me to this achievement. The Honors Program at CSU looks like a program to help me continue my journey of gaining knowledge. Being a member of this program would give my motivation to continue to strive for those higher grades. It is in my interest to be in this program to keep my performance in classes at the upper level. This program would allow me to focus on academics and strive for the best grades personally possible.
I have loved government and policy since I was a government relations intern in Florida. Towards the end of my undergraduate education I was offered an internship with the Department of State in Washington, DC and I knew that no other city would provide me with the opportunity experience so many facets of government in a central location. Since my move to DC I have been able to flourish and grow my career in government relations and contracting. I have worked for various agencies and federal offices in a variety of capabilities. The more I worked the more I loved what I saw as the endless possibilities of my careers. My desire to grow my career, and seek out management opportunities, led me to explore graduate schools and I set my view on American University (AU).
As stated in my personal statement, I chose to apply to law school firstly because law attracts me as a system that requires a high level of logical and analytical skills, but my motive lies deeper in the belief that law as a powerful social factor can make palpable and immediate impact on the society. Although not intending to further my education in biochemistry, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry throughout the course of my study. As an effective legal system could potentially better bridge science and its intended beneficiaries by protecting true innovations, maximizing the efficiency of resource-allocation, and safeguarding the interest of those in need, it is my hope that a legal education would
Community is a feeling of fellowship with others, which is a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. Walking across campus, I feel a sense of community among all students I encounter, we are all here for the Indiana University experience. But what I have found is a deeper community within the honors courses I have taken thus far, which have given me a focal point for my Kelley experience. One of the most valuable things I have gained from the honors courses is setting up a network for myself, established from being able to interact with like-minded individuals. These students inspire me to start exploring my future career goals, as well as leadership opportunities within IU that I would not have come across without the people
