University essay "what will you benefit from education at the AUC?"

higher education is what shapes a person's future,so a person must choose wisely. Despite the wide selection of universities, My choice was The American university in Cairo .One of many reasons is because it is one of the best universities in the region. People from Egypt and all over the world would be honoured to join the AUC. Its certificate is really respected and very well known worldwide.The university is also well known for its outstanding faculties and great tutors.

Although I live in Alexandria,i didn't mind that the university is miles away from my hometown as the university has great student residence with comfortable accommodation,as i've heard.Another thing i would benefit from the AUC is that in the university you are not only taught subjects but you learn to deal with the real life,and that is something i don't think a lot of universities in the region offer.

I decided to major in business administration because I have always found business interesting.I took a business class in high school and I enjoyed it so much.Studying business is great because you get the opportunity to learn things that are relevant to the society that we live in. I often learned about something in class and then went home and saw something related to it on the news.Everything I learn in business studies is relevant for the world of work as well and that makes learning it much more enjoyable and interesting,and there is no better place than the AUC to study this major.

I want to work for a large multi-national company and even though my primary interest is in entrepreneurship I want to progress my career and take on a role within multi-national company as a start.My dream is to one day become a notable and respected entrepreneur that is recognized by people worldwide,its a very ambitious dream that is hard to fulfil,but with hard work and the help of this well-known and respected university, nothing is impossible.

Hi omarsamahy,
May you give me the prompt of your essay? It look like the prompt of your essay is a short essay so your should focus on your idea as much as possible.

For example,


As you may know, this is what your school already know. AUC should have known that they are renowned with good faculties and facilities. You do not need to tell them again. Everyone wants to attend a prestigious university because of the school's honored degree. In other world, this paragraph does not really tell me what is your personality. I can feel that you want to focus on studying, which is good thing. I suggest that you can do more research on this school and see what facilities or opportunities will give you the most advantage as a business student. Or is there any article from some professor at that school that you are interested in. Is there any special funding for business student at that school, etc?


How interesting business is? Why do you like it? You like doing presentation. You like imaging yourself as a CEO, etc. What exactly make your fall in love with business? You need to describe more or your essay will look alike other essays, and you do not want that happen right :)?


This one is a little lengthy. I have not came up with a way to edit this but if you can give it a try, I will take a look at this again :).


Do not say almost impossible, because it sounds very negative.
Good luck

Your first two paragraphs sound more like a brochure trying to sell the university than an insightful look into how you can benefit from the educational programs of AUC. You should focus your essay on your academic desires and goals which you feel the course curriculum or course offering of AUC can best address. Don't bother talking about the university reputation or achievements, the admissions officer already knows that. Don't waste his time with word fillers. Just get directly to the point, which are, the reasons that you feel AUC will be able to fulfill your academic goals. Do this by letting them know what it is about the Business Administration course that AUC offers that attracted you to apply for admission. Connect their programs with your idea for the perfect university and you will have answered the prompt quite well.
