Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.

Raised by highly religious and industrious parents,i gained appreciation for the virtues of hard work and honesty at a very early stage in my life. I was taught the benefits of personal labour. After being exposed to the realities of life and experiencing the lives of the underprivileged while volunteering, I believe I have developed compassion for people and come to value life.

As a student, I have engaged in the pursuit of knowledge in diverse fields and also sought to develop the best relationships with my peers. I have a great respect for authority. This I believe is necessary for the effective running of our society.

In order that I attain the acme of scholarship and social life, I need to attend a school which is capable of taking my personal qualities and coupled with its splendid educational programme, lead me to this goal.

Schools should provide the knowledge needed by individuals to effectively prepare them for life and the uncertainties which collectively constitute life, in an atmosphere which encourages learning. As such, a good school is one which provides the student with the requisite social and intellectual skills with which to face the challenges posed by this ever-changing world of ours.CORNELL provides this atmosphere, encouraging communal problem-solving ventures, and an approach which I particularly admire and which I would like to be involved in.

The concept of an interdisciplinary approach to solving real life problems fascinates me, appealing to my innermost yearning to work in a group of intellectuals where I can share ideas with gifted students, learn how to co-operate with others, learn to value diverse opinions as well as challenge myself to become a better social person. The uniqueness of the CORNELL experience assures me that all I seek can be provided by CORNELL at world class quality.

My fascination with cornell also stems from the student-centred approach it employs in imparting knowledge. I particularly admire the sharing of knowledge which CORNELL encourages throughout its many faculties. I appreciate that CORNELL is one of the few schools that offer the student an opportunity to own knowledge by challenging the student to carry out research activities, allowing them to discover information on their own and to share and compare this information with other students from various geographical and intellectual backgrounds.

I also like the fact that cornell believes that the human mind is unfettered, that it is capable of achieving whatever it sets its sights on, challenging the student to see the school and the education it offers as a stepping stone and not an end in itself. I believe that the academic environment as well as the CORNELL campus life is rich with opportunities for intellectual enrichment, social relationships and personal growth and is extremely conducive for effective studies. This is indicative of CORNELL's preparedness to prepare me for the outside world with its unique educational experience as the basic concept of education is the preparation for life.

Undergraduate / "Brown University offers so much more than quality education" [6]

) Please tell us more about your interest in Brown: Why does Brown appeal to you as a college option? Who or what has influenced your decision to apply?

I hope to be admitted into your esteemed institution to continue my undergraduate studies and acquire a degree that will be beneficial to my future. Aside from the fact that Brown University is one of the best schools in the country, my personal desire to learn a lot and be with other students who share the same ideals as mine is the primary reason that influenced my decision to consider your institution as the place to obtain a college education. I was motivated by the different existing policies in the school like the open curriculum in the university where students with the help of their advisors and teachers have the freedom to devise their own curriculum. I find this very appealing as I can take all the subjects that I am interested in. Furthermore, I can explore the different disciplines widening my knowledge in a wide array of topics that will prove to be beneficial in the future.

I believe that Brown University offers so much more than quality education. The highly experienced and capable mentors and staff that can assist students with their problems at school as well as the conducive to learning environment are some of the plus factors of the University. The school values diversity and eliminates any superiority in a particular belief or tradition of values. The University is also a melting pot of different philosophies enriched with different meaningful ideas that will be an addition to the students' learning experience. With everything that Brown University has to offer to its students, it is without a doubt that studying at your respected institution will be instrumental to my success in the future.
