Hello! This is my first draft of the Why Tulane? Essay prompt, and I am looking for any sort of feedback! Let me know, and feel free to fix any grammatical errors...thank you so much!
Prompt: Please describe why you are interested in attending Tulane University.
Essay:
As I gazed through my plane window the initial time I landed in New Orleans, I knew that it was a place where I wanted to live at some point in my life. The exciting culture, delectable cuisine, and world-famous architecture established this thought as my family and I toured the magnificent city. Trip after trip, this idea has been reconfirmed to me like no other. Consequently, it was no surprise to me that when I finally visited a friend at Tulane, I fell in love. Tulane offers everything that I am looking for in an institution of higher-education. From the world-class academics to the everyday environment of New Orleans, I want nothing more than to further my education at Tulane.
Academics have always been a very important part of my life, and I know that that value will not be changed throughout my college endeavors. I appreciate the flexibility and freedom that students have at Tulane to double-or even triple- major. That possibility makes a world of difference to people like me, who are interested in many different career routes. If accepted into this highly esteemed University, I would hope to double-major in Business and Political Science. Because the Freeman School of Business has such an active base of alumni and supportive group of professors, I would love to have the ability to create the necessary connections for finding my dream job once I have graduated. Because of my collaborative nature, I especially appreciate the TIDES program that Tulane provides. I know that I would look forward to contributing in weekly meetings with peers and fellow faculty members where we can share various perspectives.
When I first stepped foot onto Tulane's elegant campus, I remember looking around the various parks and quads and seeing students hanging out with others, studying, or just hurrying to their next class. One important factor of my college search has been to find a University that has a vibrant group of students and places an emphasis on community. On my short visit in 2016, I saw more students interacting with others than I have any other University. The city of New Orleans is the perfect place to create these life-long friendships, as it has such an extreme variety of things to do. I can picture myself in the next four years spending time with my newfound friends in the French Quarter, or snacking on my favorite beignets at Café Du Monde. Also, I am fond of the myriad of options for clubs and organizations that there are to join. Not only do I want to graduate from college with a surplus of knowledge, but with lasting friends that I can go to for anything.
Tulane appeals to me like no other college does. From the beautiful campus and excellent location to the reputable professors and variety of opportunities, I know that this University is the one for me. I hope to gain from and contribute to life at Tulane very soon.
