Undergraduate / 'A curious and driven person' - U of I Application Essay [2]
Hi,
You can remove some details in your essay such as:
"From London to New York, the amount of new things I've learned and activities I've tried were abundant. "
You can also delete some redundancy about the origin of your curiosity and driven attitude:
"Whether it's my curiosity to try a new food or my curiosity to join a new club at school, my desire for something different is inherited from my dad "
"On the other hand, I'm extremely driven and dedicated, this characteristic coming from my mother. "
There is also grammatical error in your essay:
"Not only am I a curious and driven person, I'm also a curious and driven student."
"I'm extremely driven to find out what I am capable of and, unlike high school, taking classes that I want to take rather than what I'm required to take"
Overall, it's a good essay. They would be glad to have you as their student.
By the way, I need some review for my motivation letter here (essayforum.com/graduate-admission-4/need-help-motivation-letter-graduate-school-computer-science-31560/)
Thank you
