'Chemistry study' - OU Pharmacy short answer: why did you choose this school?

I have only 750 characters to spare, so any suggestions are appreciated! I feel like it is solid for the most part, but it might need some grammar fixes or vocabulary changes.

Question: Why did you choose to apply to the OU College of Pharmacy? Be specific.

Over the past three years, I have been fortunate enough to study chemistry at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Not only have I received a top-quality education at OU, but I have also established a new life here. Being a native Texan, I eagerly came to Norman, anxious to make new friends. Three years later, I can gladly say that I have made the best of every moment here, ranging from studying and participating in school organizations to creating an unforgettable social life. Despite the ups and downs college life might throw at me, my love for the Sooners only continues to grow. Because I have enjoyed my experiences at OU tremendously, it would be an honor to continue my education at the OU college of Pharmacy.

That's it. Thanks for the help!

yep... it sounds good and interesting. You mention about its academic standards and the community as the reasons for you to select OU for furthering studies. However, better mention something about the courses, research opportunities or academic staff to enlighten them more about your decision on choosing them for the next level.

Hope this suggestion is helpful
Good Luck!

Okay, so I added a sentence about the academic staff, but I'm not sure of what more to add in because of the character limit:

Moreover, I would love to further my knowledge with the outstanding academic staff OU never fails to provide.

I'm at 720 characters at this point. Thanks!
