Undergraduate / I still don't know, what who I want to become [6]
Hi everyone!
I'm turning in my application tonight, so I need some advice/tips on what to add/delete/alter in any way. I'm struggling with this topic in particular. I'll appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks so much!
Here's the essay:
I have always wanted to be some type of scientist: when I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an astronaut, in middle school, a vet. But, upon entering high school, I didn't know, and still don't know, what I want(ed) to become. Math and science have always been, and will always be, my main interest, and because of Stanford's outstanding research facilities and distinguished professors, I feel that it would be the perfect place to discover my passion.
Not only does Stanford offer outstanding academics and unparalleled opportunities, but it also provides a music program in which I can continue my studies in cello to a personally satisfying degree. I will benefit greatly from the flexibility of the music department at Stanford because I am looking to improve my musical ability, not necessarily in a rigorous and competitive manner that most conservatories require.
"What makes Stanford a good place for you?"
