I hope to take advantage of the opportunities at BU, and at Boston. Containing superior educational opportunities like BU, Boston, a leading finance center, has all I dreamed of. "College life in BU is like traveling around the world." As my friends said. Along with vibrant and dynamic campus life, BU has students, even one third of the faculty members in economics department, from countries outside the U.S. My eagerness of experiencing the diversity of people can be greatly met. Major in economics, I was attracted by the Economics department . My love of public speaking can be largely satisfied by its guest speakers. Its awards and scholarships will promote me to do better as well. Only by attending BU can I live in a lovely city, enjoy ideal life while pursue academic goal.

Undergraduate / 'the economics section is what I turn to first' - NYU Supp [6]

Too many worlds, please give comments and tell me which part is useless
Thanks

please elaborate on an academic area of interest and how you wish to explore it at NYU's campuses in New York or Abu Dhabi or at one of our global academic centers around the world. Please share any activities or experiences you have had that have cultivated your intellectual interests leading you to choose to study at the NYU campus of your choice.

Everyday when I got the newspaper, the economics section is what I turn to first. This has become my habit because the economic world is what I am most concerned about.

When discussions on their daily work became their major topic, my parents ,who are both working in banks, have no idea that they have made big influence on me. My primary curious gave me the motivation to know more on banking area to figure out what my parents were talking about.

Through frequent encounters with ideas from economists around the world and in history later, I was deeply attracted by economics. Gradually, I realized that my current knowledge should be updated. The process of self-taught AP last year helps consolidate and support my desired degree choice.

To have an overall version of universities' researches in economics, I got an internship with a professor. After working on several researches with him , I got an general version on how to collect and analysis data. I am writing my own research paper on food safety with his help. Via email, he pinpointed several mistakes I made like collecting convenience data. This experience broadened my perspective and gave me new insights into the depth of my field.

I want to have similar experience under NYU's professors, who are associated with outstanding research institutions. I notice some of the best economists like Alan Greenspan have had their own NYU experience. To further investigate into the efficient market hypothesis and its relationship with economy, there is no better place than the New York University.

Indeed, I view economics as a special division of evolutionary science that, in some degree, discusses how different organisms can be more efficient in using limited resources, while being highly adapted for the use of more complicated human societies.New York University's economics department will give me special opportunities on academic area as well as programs and activities.

Undergraduate / 'Huzhou, Shanghai, and California's Bay Area' - UC PS1 [9]

Could anybody please help on this essay?

1.Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped you?

If a biographer is writing a memoir about me, the first three places he or she should go are Huzhou, Shanghai, and California's Bay Area.

Huzhou, a city famous for its silk industry, is where my dream showed up. My hometown is tie up to manufacturing, but is not a stably developed area. A 200 redundancy in a small textile factory made my grandmother lost her job. I was shocked at how the macroeconomic policy robs thousands of people's jobs when she told me her story. My curiosity was greatly intrigued because of my grandmother's experience. At that time, all I was thinking of was learning economics to benefit people around me.

My aspiration grew up in Shanghai, an international metropolis full of skyscrapers, when I officially became a teenager. Much more prosperous than where I come from, Shanghai largely broadens my horizon. Results from the reform and opening-up policy in China, I saw modern lifestyles, fast pace of life and advanced facilities. The economics knowledge I learnt from high school textbooks gives me supplement as well. Step on same the same land as Huzhou , I realized how wisely using economics benefits Shanghai and I started thinking about practicable strategy for my hometown's promotion.

All the circumstance changed after I came to America, a country where anything is possible. In particular, I study and live very close to the Silicon Valley in California's the Bay Area, which continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development. Taking US history and AP Economics made me aware of lots of presidents who are famous for their outstanding contribution on economy. The details on the textbook gave me an overall observation on their monetary and fiscal policy and challenged my old way of thinking. Reaganomics is a case reverses my point of view on reducing government regulation. The concepts and examples from textbooks updated my cognizance of economics, deepen my plain knowledge over and over again. Not only culturally influences me, this atmosphere also gives me a deeper insight on current Chinese policy. The economy is a global issue, the process of exploring made me realized that it is my duty to people all over the world.

My experiences in China and America have enriched my understanding of economics . It witnessed my dream's growing from a simple eagerness into an ambition.
