Original Prompt: Please tell us what you find most appealing about Columbia and why.
My Essay:
Columbia smells of uniqueness. Whether it be its one of a kind core curriculum, its grandiose location in the heart of New York City, the ubiquitous student diversity or its freedom of speech, the university offers its students the best of all worlds.
Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science has been known to be amongst the most academically productive in the nation, where excellence is achieved in both teaching and research. The impressive yet rigorous engineering courses taught by the world renowned faculty like Professor Attinger at the SEAS combined with the low student to faculty ratio of 6:1 provide for an unparalleled undergraduate experience. And having already performed research with Electron Microscopes at the CSMCRI, India, I hope to further my endeavors under the shadow of the devoted faculties at Columbia.
The main attraction of the Columbia Carnival is, undoubtedly, its Core curriculum. At Columbia, I will be able to garner a real, priceless education which does not focus itself on producing exceptional engineers, but instead prides itself on cultivating human beings as a whole. Core will be the vehicle through which I will grow, both intellectually and as a better person.
Among all the universities that I considered for undergraduate education, it was only Columbia that made feel at home. Somehow, each and every aspect of the university appeals to my conscience. And only an undergraduate education at Columbia would gratify it.
Any and every criticism is appreciated and welcomed! :))
Thank You in advance :))
