With the understanding that the choice of academic school you indicated is not binding, explain why you are applying to that particular school of study.
I always thought that there was something magical about animals and life itself. Chameleons changed colors, porcupines changed shapes, and parrots talked. How these animals accomplish such tasks fascinated my childish mind. Unlike many of my friends, I never seemed to have outgrown that childish curiosity I had for animals.
As I grew older and learned more about animals, I found that what I have learned was a gateway to even more mystery. Yes, I understood that chameleons change colors because of the pigments in their skin, but how do pigments function?
When I first took the accelerated biology course, I learned more about the process of life. It seemed as if I just uncovered the inner workings of a watch and discovered the thousands of intricate pieces. I was introduced to a whole new world, the molecular world. It was confusing to learn about a world that I had never seen, but that made biology more novel and attractive to me. Biology and I clicked.
In my Advanced Placement Biology course, I learned more about these intricate pieces and how they worked together to make life. Biology was a vast subject. What could be more fascinating then studying life itself?
My interest for biology turned into a passion, and I began to look for opportunities around me so that I could further immerse myself into this fascinating world. Fortunately, I found an internship at the Stanford Neurology Department where I participated in a research project on the neuromuscular disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Currently, I am writing a grant for my own research, which I proposed to the professor I worked for during the internship, on how over-stimulation of SMN proteins on in vivo cells can improve the quality of life.
Biology is so vast and unexplored that there are infinite opportunities to discover something new. Just the thought of making a new discovery excites me. However, in order for me to continue on my journey to future discoveries, I need to be more acquainted with biology and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject, and that is why I am applying to the Wiess School of Natural Sciences.
The Wiess School of Natural Sciences offers an outstanding curriculum for biology majors. Its department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology offers a breadth of courses. In addition to the breadth of the courses offered, many of the courses are also geared specifically towards one of the many biological studies such as the course BIOS 464 on Extracellular Matrix.
The school's mission to provide the students with the best possible education, and the opportunities conduct research alongside outstanding professors is the perfect combination to aid my intellectual growth and understanding of biology. I believe that the Wiess School of Natural Sciences will prepare me to enter my graduate studies and join the scientific community as a learned and aspiring scientist. This is why I am applying to the Wiess School of Natural Sciences.
I know that the last paragraph is really brief about how Weiss can help me. Any suggestions of what I can add?
Anyhow please revise thanks!
