Undergraduate / New Orleans crossed through my mind - Why Tulane Essay [7]

Okay I scrapped that completely and started over. this is my new one, same prompt.

Prompt:Please describe why you are interested in attending Tulane.

As an intended premedical studies student, I have been researching colleges with well respected programs and opportunities. The typical candidates regularly came up: Vanderbilt, Emory, USC, etc. I stumbled upon Tulane University expecting another generic program of study in a popular city; what I found was a school with unique opportunities and experiences ranging from required major related community service classes to volunteer options at Tulane Medical Center to double majors, allowing me to pursue my interests outside of medicine. Because I'm largely undecided on what I want to specialize in, I've also been looking for a school with an array of options concerning either Biology or Chemistry, and Tulane has the most departments related to biology and chemistry in the School of Medicine, and has even introducing me to programs in the School of Science and Engineering. In addition to all these aspects, Tulane University distinguishes itself from its competitors through its social life. I have always been fascinated by New Orleans; the delicious cuisine, the rich French and Creole history, and of course, Mardi Gras. Tulane's location in the heart of the city that tops my bucket list is a great addition; I'd love to get an internship with Biodistrict New Orleans or simply just explore Bourbon Street and the French quarters. The Greek life at Tulane is ideal because the spring rush allows freshman to better assimilate into college before joining as a pledge, and the sports scene endorses school spirit and unity, something other universities sacrifice for academic excellence. Tulane University is perfect for me to explore Biology related majors along with pursuing my interests outside of medicine, and the location in New Orleans provides incomparable experiences.

Oh and thanks everyone who replied, i really appreciate your opinions and criticisms, so dont hold back!

Undergraduate / New Orleans crossed through my mind - Why Tulane Essay [7]

hi thank you for replying. I'm interested in attending the university because it has great campus and city life and because it has a great medical program, but an admissions officer at the school wrote in his blog he likes to hear about personal experiences or interactions with the school. is my optional essay too personal and fails to show my academic interests in the school?

i cant post a link to the blog, but if you type "tulane optional essay" into google it will be the first result.

thanks

hey everybody, i would really appreciate it if some could please review and critique my optional essay for Tulane. thanks!

Prompt:Please describe why you are interested in attending Tulane.

I first learned about the distinct and unique city of New Orleans in AP US History and was immediately fascinated with its cultural, historical and educational aspects. After doing some research on it, I knew it was definitely a city I would have to visit. Soon enough, New Orleans again crossed through my mind, this time through photography; my friend Jamie returned with an abundance of photos from a cross country trip he had taken after graduating. He had photos from Jacksonville in Florida to San Francisco California, but the most memorable by far were photos he took of Bourbon Street, showcasing the stories of the French and Creole culture captured by his lens. He introduced me to Tulane through pictures taken of the campus and on Broadway Street, where his cousin's fraternity house was. After conducting my own research on Tulane, I felt as if I had found the ideal school; a university with a great premedical program that also allowed me to major in interests outside of medicine, along with an incredible campus life and environment, to say nothing of the delicious cuisine. Tulane has everything I want in higher education, and it would be my honor to attend.
