Please tell me what you think! Be brutal if necessary :)
>>Please tell us more about your interest in Brown: Why does Brown appeal to you as a college option? Who or what has influenced your decision to apply?
In ninth grade I had told one of my senior friends that I would apply to every Ivy League university in the United States. She looked at me like I was crazy, but I wasn't fazed. When I began narrowing down my list of college choices in my junior year I finally understood why I had received that reaction. Each Ivy League is unique and is suited for certain types of people. At Brown I will be able to fully explore my interests and strengthen my education. With its many clubs that range from ethnic to recreational, I know I will be able to find somewhere I can actively take part in. Additionally, Brown's well-equipped research facilities will allow me to experience learning in a way I never have had the chance to before. Brown University is also one of the few universities that has the combination of having my anticipated major, being located close to home and offers good financial aid. I have found that of the eight Ivy Leagues, Brown University is the one that I am the most suited for.
>>Why are you drawn to the academic fields you indicated in the Anticipated Degree and Academic Interest questions above? (BSc in Engineering)
When I was little my mother had always encouraged me to love math, but in high school I discovered my true passion for the sciences. I have realized though, the interest for math that my mother planted in me never went away; rather it has been combined with my penchant for science. Today, I thoroughly enjoy working calculus problems while still puzzling over the amount of energy released from a broken covalent bond. By pursuing a degree in the field of engineering I will be able to study material that combines my two passions of math and science. As someone who is always questioning and wondering about the theories that govern life, the material covered in engineering degree or a neuroscience degree will never fail to hold my interest.
Thank You!!
