Undergraduate / (TransferEssay- 1 Semester)- Reasons for Leaving & Academic Goals at UCONN :) [5]
For significant personal reasons, I withdrew my acceptance to the University of Connecticut: Greater Hartford Campus for the fall semester. I had applied directly to this campus without a full understanding that I would not be able to transfer to the Storr's campus until after 2 years. My original decision was to delay my college education until the Spring - when there was the possibility of being readmitted into UCONN; this time at the Storr's campus - but Gateway offers me a chance to continue my education for a very modest cost per semester, at a location very close to my home.
Now, I'll be attending Gateway Community College in the fall. I'm excited to start, because I know I'll be able to get the "A" GPA I've always been capable of. I paid for the first semester at Gateway myself, and I plan to get the most out of it I possibly can. The diverse student population and new location in downtown New Haven make it very appealing to me. It allows me very close proximity to where I assist with Substance Abuse Counseling, and I'll be exposed to such a variety of different people from all walks of life. The opportunity seems spectacular!
I plan to major in psychology to pursue my interest in cognitive science. Since I began to counsel those suffering with substance dependency my interest in the human mind has blossomed and flourished.
With all that said, however, Gateway is limited in what classes it is able to offer me. I've heard great things about College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at The University of Connecticut - Storr's campus. The rigorous science courses that are offered there will not simply teach me Cognitive Science, but allow me to truly understand it. An understanding that I will undoubtedly carry with me to graduate school and some day obtaining my doctoral degree.
Cognitive Science is such an intricate discipline, one that I would be proud to study at the highly accredited University of Connecticut. The academic challenge it offers, the chance to explore my major not just inside the classroom but in the field, and the broad array of campus-life activities and organizations make clear that the The University of Connecticut is the very best institution to pursue my education in psychology and establish a foundation for my future.
At the University of Connecticut I intend to take a multitude of courses in psychology along with courses in biological sciences. The mind is such an intricate entity and requires understanding at both cellular and systemic levels.
Readmission into the University of Connecticut as a transfer student would mean an impressive college experience and the ability to acquire complete comprehension of cognitive science as it is known today. es in biological sciences. The mind is such an intricate entity and requires understanding at both cellular and systemic levels.
***This is my first draft, and I have not yet started classes at community college, they begin Sept. 4th. I applied to Uconn, directly to a branch campus and was accepted, but did not realize i would not be allowed to switch to storrs until after 2 years. For this reason as well as personal struggles and a distance issue (1hr drive each way) i withdrew my acceptance. I'm working to save for college, as my parents cannot give much in financial aid. UCONN has always been my first choice. The deadline for application is October 1st, 2012.***
