1. My first impression of Syracuse University came through watching the interview of my favorite basketball player Carmelo Anthony. Although his interview was more related to the athletics of the school, it nonetheless sparked an interest in me. The proud spirit displayed by the alumni and fans of the Syracuse University sports impressed me. Upon researching about the University of Syracuse I became enamored by the fact that it is a school that not only offers strong sports teams, but also strong academics. The abundance of academic fields that Syracuse University provides is one of the significant influencing factors on my decision, because of my varied interests, and desire to pursue knowledge in more than one field.
2. I dream of becoming a person free in his economic abilities, and in his actions. Syracuse University will help me achieve that goal with its broad spectrum of offered academic fields. In this manner, Syracuse University will not box me into a single category, and will give me an opportunity to pursue the academic interests that fit me.
3. Although I have not had an official paid work experience, I did help out as a waiter in my father's restaurant. This experience helped me in substantial ways as it improved my interacting skills in the regard of a consumer seller relations. This experience also taught me the basic etiquette of a restaurant setting. Furthermore, I have gained knowledge in the workings, and the details of the restaurant business, as I was helping my father to market the restaurant as well.
4. I appreciate the commitment of the Syracuse University to provide its students with as much real-life experience as possible. My interests in the areas of history and business make the idea of studying overseas through "Study Abroad" program extremely intriguing. I would like to spend semesters abroad in order to further my knowledge in the history, and the business etiquette of varying regions of the world.
From your answers, I get a very general idea of the type of person you are...put more thought into your answers! Try to get them to hear your voice :)
I dream of becoming a person free in his economic abilities, and in his actions.This is a little bit unclear to me! Syracuse University will help me achieve that goal with its broad spectrum of offered academic fields. In this manner, Syracuse University will not box me into a single category, and will give me an opportunity to pursue the academic interests that fit me.Universities like it when you relate to their student life/teachers/and other things rather than JUST their academics. Do some research and find a bit more things to add!
For number 3, try relating on how that will help you in the future! :)
I thinnk you are being too vague in your answers and you are not putting much personal thought into them.
I agree with the above mentioned suggestions. You have a good foundation here, but you need to build upon it. When you do that, you'll be set. Good luck!
