Undergraduate / 'Beautiful, diverse, and ranked on top' - UCF Admissions [6]
1. Why did you choose to apply to UCF?
Beautiful, diverse, and ranked one of the top universities in Florida, University of Central Florida has been my dream school since I moved to Miami in 2006. Born and raised a New Yorker, adapting to Florida was a life-changing experience. Instead of snowstorms, I had to adjust to hurricanes. What was once a view of a thousand skyscrapers outside my window became a thousand palm trees surrounding bright blue water. The changes were so drastic that I immediately decided that I wanted to move back to New York for college. A few months later, be that as it may, I decided that as an adult, I would really love to pursue psychology. When I overheard one of my teachers discussing UCF and how the accredited university was growing in size and rank, I decided to do some research. What I found was a university whose largest department is psychology, offers several internships, practice, research, and learning activities for that very profession, and is just a few hours away from my family. The more I learned about this school, the more enticed I became with it. Today, UCF appears to be the perfect school for me in every possible aspect, especially now that my transition to Florida life is complete. I am certain that this school will provide me with the best possible education, the opportunity to become independent and to discover myself as an individual, and simultaneously create a scholarly yet lively atmosphere.
