Statement:
My name is Bruno Maria Criscuolo. I'm an Italian student attending my first year of college at the University of Naples, where I am currently studying economics.I have been taking English classes for eight years plus I have attended courses with private teachers at the British Council where I was able to earn both my First Certificate and my Certificate of Proficiency in English language. I have also passed the Test for English as Foreign Language(TOEFL), scoring 105 out of 120 averaging more that 25 on each part internet based test.I have been travelling a lot both with my family and friends all over Europe and I have visited much of North America.I spent my junior year of high school in Portland, Oregon, and received a certificate of attendance from Clackamas High School graduating 61st in a class of 449 with a cumulative G.P.A of 3.875 out of 4.0. This was one of the best experience I have ever had in my entire life. I have always had the desire to live abroad and start being independent and when i was finally given this opportunity i tried to use it at my best.I was fascinated by our exchange students meetings because they helped me feel like a citizen of the world and opened my mind in a way I would have never even thought possible in my wildest dreams, paving my way to develop rational and coherent thinking skills on a global scale.I suddenly realized how important it is to compare oneself to individuals who have different origins and cultures.In addition to my interest in languages and culture, I have always tought as mathematics a continuing source of inspiration for solving everyday problematics.On July 2008 I graduated from high school and earned my honor diploma scoring 96/100 on my senior year state exam .Troughout high school I had been following a particularly vast program for mathematics integrated in the National Informatic Plan(PNI), and partecipated in the National Mathematical Olympiads from 2004 to 2008. My leadership and communication abilities helped me being been elected class president in 2004 and in 2008,a duty that gave me the opportunity to attend several political and social events held by the local government.In addition to all this,I've always shown an interest for everything concerning economic and financial matters.The application and significance of economics in every aspect of my daily life is something that truly fascinates me.I've always enjoyed reading economic and financial newspapers and following business news on the BBC and CNN channels.This passion led me to take an Advanced Placement Macroecomics course while I was in U.S which I found extremely interesting, especially the sections concerning management and planning.This is why I would like to come LSE: following one of your economics and management undergraduate programs. They have an outstanding reputation in the entire business universe and could give me the chance to fulfil my knowledge desires and improve and complete my academic and leadership skills.I find the management sector particularly interesting.It is fascinating how management skills supported with appropriate strategic and logistic plans have such a significant impact on companies' profits. Furthermore student activities provided by your universities could be helpful in making a decision about my future career.I look forward to apply my future knowledges in designing and developing new economic models or to work for international organizations such as the World Bank or the European Union.I believe I should be chosen among the other candidates because of my own international cultural background and my ambition to attend a university with a strong international focus and consolidated commitment toward excellence such as LSE.I do realize this would be a new chance to commensurate me with a new world in a way that could help me shape and fortify my own personality.Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
