Undergraduate / penn essay (For Freshman Applicants only) [3]

any help (from editing grammar to content errors) anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated and ill try to help you with any of your questions

4a. For Freshman Applicants only: Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn? (7900 characters max)---is 5278 enough??

When I first met my "Uncle" Norm (my dad's best friend) I knew I had met someone to be admired. He was extremely self confident and sharp. In just talking to him I felt like I was learning more and more every minute. I was even more surprised when my dad talked about how much he had changed since high school. When I asked him what caused the change, he told me it was his experience at the University of Pennsylvania. Ever since then I have had an intense desire to attend the school.

Philadelphia is my favorite city and I would love to be able to go to college in the city. The diversity, history, and passion of the citizens are what makes Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania unique and are the reasons I love the city and can not wait to attend the college. I live in a city that does not have a lot of diversity so I can not wait to be somewhere that has a mix of people with their distinctive cultures. I want to be able to discover what makes people the way they are and learn about their pasts. Learning about different cultures fascinates me and I will be able to do that the best at Penn. The city and the college also have a great history that I would love to be a part of. The city that is home to the liberty bell has the most distinguished history of any city in the United States and that is enthralling. Penn has the same history after being founded by someone I look up to, Benjamin Franklin. Being able to attend the school that was founded by, in my opinion, one of the greatest Americans ever would be an honor. I have attended Phillies and Eagles fans and have witnessed first hand the passion of the citizens of Philadelphia. They feel stronger about their team than any other fan for any other team. It's amazing how they apply this passion to every facet of their lives. The students I have met from Penn have that same passion and I wish that I can learn to feel as strongly about everything in my life. Philadelphia is the greatest city in the entire world and the University of Pennsylvania incorporates all of its best qualities.

The University of Pennsylvania is a very prestigious school and there are a plethora of great minds that I would be thrilled to learn from. Being part of the Ivy League shows the level of the teachers and the students at the university. I would love to be a part of some research that makes a difference and there is plenty of that going on. With some of the finest minds in the world leading these projects, I can trust that there will some ground breaking research accomplished while I am there. I can only hope to partake in some of it and work more closely with someone who has a Ph. D. I believe that the most efficient learning comes from studying under brilliant minds and that is exactly what I could participate in at Penn. I would not have to waste time trying to decrypt what I had heard in class and could use my time more efficiently. I could be able to grasp each subject more thoroughly and have a better in depth understanding with the teachings of some of the United States' best teachers. Going to class becomes enjoyable when the teacher truly comprehends their subject and can communicate that comprehension clearly. When this happens, classes and school in general becomes entertaining and I can not wait to go to class. The best learning comes when class becomes fun and I show up early instead of having to drag myself to class. With the amount of teachers with Ph. D's and some of the most gifted teachers out there, I believe this will happen at the University of Pennsylvania.

The key way that my love for Philadelphia will be combined with my learning experience at the University of Pennsylvania is through their excellent job outreach program and abundance of internships. Philadelphia seems like the perfect place for me to start my life and to have my first job. A degree from Penn will grant me endless opportunities and set me up for success in life. After studying under the professors and completing a vigorous schedule I will be able for any job prospect that I am lucky enough to come by. Philadelphia is a thriving metropolis with an abundance of new job openings and due to Penn's good relationship with these companies I would be able to step right into the job of my dreams.

My dream would come true if I was able to attend the University of Pennsylvania. Expanding my mind under the brilliant professors at Penn would be something that would change my life forever. Being able to study and graduate from an Ivy League school would have a momentous effect on me. Penn is better than the other Ivy League schools because it was the first university in the United States and it was founded by an innovator with a brilliant mind, Benjamin Franklin. Franklin also did the right thing by founding his school in the greatest American city. The spirit of Philadelphia will guide my learning experience and provide much for me to do in and out of the classroom. I would be glad to be able to work in the same city that I graduated from and Philadelphia offers me that chance. This newly converted Eagles and Phillies fan would have the time of his life joining in the passion of the city and everyone at the University of Pennsylvania.

penn professor short answer

Penn offers its undergraduates an eminent faculty and a wealth of research opportunities. Use the space below to name a Penn professor with whom you would like to study or conduct research and explain why. (1000 characters)

I have always had a passion for mathematics and I had recently gained one for physics. With my discovery of engineering I had found a way to combine them and use them in a productive way. The next step was to figure how exactly to use engineering to make a difference.

Undergraduate / cornell essay, interest in engineering [4]

Tell us about your interest in engineering. Explain how Cornell Engineering can help you further explore this idea or interest. (500 words)----is 421 words enough?

Engineering seems like a perfect fit for me. Ever since my first real math class in middle school I have known that math was for me. It came easy to me and I enjoyed going to class for the first time ever. Apart from my math classes I did not feel that same spark until my junior year. That came from my first ever physics class which quickly became my favorite class. When I learned that engineering combined the two I could not wait to learn more.

Physics helps define life. It explains how everything works and why it is that way. While other people might not be too excited to learn about how a refrigerator works or how much energy is transferred in a collision, I love it and it fascinates me. The longer I am in physics the more questions I have get answered. I am a very inquisitive person and I love learning the secrets behind life. Every experiment we run in physics is not boring and pointless like they have been in other classes; they are practical applications that are also amusing and enthralling. While mathematics does not explain things in the way physics does, it is still a captivating class as I love challenging myself and trying to learn more and more.

I can not wait to dig deeper into what engineering is and I think that Cornell is the perfect place for me to do that. While I have been able to learn under some great minds at my high school, none of them can compare to the teachers at Cornell. Under these people I hope to learn all there is to know about engineering and be able to apply what I have learned practically. Apart from the teachers, I would learn plenty from my peers. I would love to team up with some of them to be able to create something that everybody could use. With the kinds of intellects that run and attend Cornell, I would leave there with a vastly expanded mind.

Engineering seems like the perfect fit for me and Cornell is the perfect place to learn all about it. Engineering encompasses everything this math geek who loves physics could want. I find it amazing that something I could create could have an impact on society or someone's life. Attending Cornell, and learning under and alongside with some of the brightest minds in the world, is the best place for me to get started on this track to making a difference.

any critiques or grammer mistakes or any help at all would be greatly appreciated
