Undergraduate / Brief Abroad Application paragraph. What do you hope to achieve academically & personally? [4]
Kate, here are some variations of "I hope to" that you can use in your essay. I'll leave the placement in the paragraphs up to you :-)
I hope to...
I look forward to...
In the future, I plan to...
I might engage in...
I see myself doing
I see myself accomplishing...
Try bring more balance to your essay Kate. Right now, I can see the immense concentration on the academic aspect of your college life. Yet the prompt wants to you present a more balance look at your academic and personal plans while at the university. So you need to come up with an equal balance in your discussion. I don't think you have a word limit on the response so you have all the room you need to balance out the social wit the academic aspects.
One way to balance the essay would be to offer 3 academic and 3 social achievements during your time as a student. Offer at least an overview of how you plan to do this. Mention some specific classes, professors, clubs, organizations, etc., as you see fit. This may require some research pertaining to the university on your part. The aim of the essay is to try to find out how you really know the university beyond what is on their website or student brochures. So try to reflect that in your response.
