Undergraduate / College Admission Essay for Claremont McKenna College [3]

What influenced you the most in your decision to apply to CMC? Please limit your response to no more than 200 words.

Above all, I view my college experience as my defining years to build myself a new identity and voice in the world. As I seek an environment where I can be challenged intellectually and be given grounds for tactile change, CMC appealed to me for its proven ability to mould students into responsible citizens and trailblazers in the fields of my intellectual curiosities such as Environmental Analysis. The environment is a major issue, more so in developing countries. Thus, the real importance of the subject, together with CMC's distinctive broad-based curriculum and research opportunities makes it all the more exemplary to me as someone who ultimately aspires to influence their home country's environmental governance.
