1. What are the unique qualities of Emory University, and the specific school(s) to which you are applying (Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College, or both), that make you want to become part of Emory University? In what ways do you hope to take advantage of the qualities you have identified?
Although two years ago I would have confidently said that I was a "Math and Science Guy," I have since expanded my interests. Last year, my love of numbers and problem solving was rivaled by a burgeoning interest in the humanities. As a junior, my English and History teachers unearthed my hidden appreciation of the humanities and even awarded me the 11th Grade Humanities Award. Although I now take great pleasure in looking forward to all of my classes, it presents me with a problem: I do not have a specific focus upon entering college. That is why Emory works perfectly for me because it allows me two years to decide what I want to do in an environment which embraces the liberal arts and gives me the opportunity to challenge myself in all of my areas of interest.
The Diversity Day team was thrilled by the student body's excitement and openness to a full day of discussions and activities dedicated to diversity on January 6th, Field's first Diversity Day, we realized that it was only a day. At Emory, I look forward to studying in an environment which continually embraces diversity, with over 35 clubs related to diversity and programs such as Unity Month, which seems like an awesome, elongated Diversity Day. Also, Emory, with its commitment to local produce and green buildings, shares my passion for the environment. In student government, I have attempted to lessen Field's environmental impact. I worked tirelessly with the administration to successfully install bottle-filling stations to help remove the 1,000 wasted water bottles every week. I look forward to continuing my diversity discussions, environmental activism and so much more at Emory.
