Undergraduate / "Sugar Land bubble"- BU Supplement essay, why BU? [3]

Please tell us why BU is a good fit for you and what specifically led you to apply for admissions? 250 words

Growing up inside the "Sugar Land bubble," I realized I miss the outside world. I miss metro stations, culturally diverse people, snow during the winter, and the urban city life. Although I have never visited, from my research I have gathered that Boston is that one city that can satisfy all my silly needs. Along with a vibrant and dynamic campus life, Boston University has one of the most diverse student bodies, especially the largest population of Bangladeshi students. Knowing that not only excites me because they are my own kind, but because even when I move out and away from my family, I will still be connected to my culture. Moreover, through the twenty-second best law school in the nation, Boston University Law School can help me become a successful lawyer. With an interest in international laws, Boston University can also provide me with an international law experience. Through its study abroad programs in Florence, London and Tel Aviv, I can fulfill my dreams of studying abroad. It is for these reasons that I feel Boston University will give me the ultimate college experience where I can learn and grow, even away from home.

Undergraduate / 'The stress from high school' - WHY EMORY SUPPLEMENT [3]

What are the unique qualities of Emory University, and the specific school(s) to which you are applying (Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College, or both), that make you want to become part of Emory University? In what ways do you hope to take advantage of the qualities you have identified? (250 words)

Living in Texas and not being able to travel, I have missed out on many things such as the California weather, the New York diversity, etc. The Emory campus is a perfect combination of all. The amazing diversity of metropolitan Atlanta gives one's entire experience at Emory a feel of living within all cultures. Moreover, Atlanta has an ideal weather that I long to experience.

As a second-year student's sister, I get to know about the "behind-the-scenes" at Emory. While going in to college, Yaasha was debating her major and questioning her interests and future. Because of the Emory's outstanding GER program, she got the opportunity to explore, discover and expand her interest in Business. Likewise, I am still undecided. Although I have a general interest in Law, I hope the GER program will help me explore my possibilities and discover my interests.

The stress from high school has always been an obstacle between my love to travel and sight-seeing. The Emory Experience Shuttle offers students who enjoy new experiences and are open-minded to try new things with opportunities to see the unique attractions of Atlanta. The shuttle is a way to get away from the academic stress every weekend and truly experience Atlanta.

Although for now, I am still unsure of where my life is headed, I know for a fact Emory's valuable resources will help me shape my life, discover my true self and provide me with the ultimate college experience where I can learn and grow.
