Northwestern attracts me with its dynamic biology program and renowned professors - Pers. Statement

Hey! This is my statement for my Northwestern Application!
The prompt is:
What are the unique qualities of Northwestern - and of the specific undergraduate school(s) to which you are applying - that make you want to attend the University? In what ways do you hope to take advantage of the qualities you have identified?

{indented} First and foremost, Northwestern attracts me with its dynamic biology program and renowned professors in the faculty. I am deeply interested in biology, Northwestern would be an amazing platform for me to enhance and pursue my passion. I am fascinated by biology because we are essentially embodiments of biology in our most basic state. Our life revolves around it, whether it be our visible genetics or the evolution that drove the synthesis and creation of species. Biology is a vast subject that is ever-changing and expanding. This compels me to pursue a biology degree at a university known for its Ivy League academics and outstanding biology program; Northwestern is a clear choice for me.

{indented} I intend to immerse myself in everything Northwestern has to offer. The Undergraduate Leadership program, as well as the study abroad programs in particular interest me. I know that these programs will unquestionably further my knowledge and foster my character at the same time. I value Northwesterns student diversity as well. I am excited at the thought of being able to interact with students from all over the world and to learn about them, from them, and their cultures. Northwestern caters to the interests of all students.

{indented} Non-academics are just as important when considering Northwestern as my choice of university. Operation Smile, Alternative Student Breaks and Peace Project specifically interest me. There are simply an abundance of groups that intrigue my interest. I hope to join some of these student organizations and become an impactful member.

{indented} With Northwesterns top-notch quality in both academic and non-academic fields as well as the amount of diversity it offers, I am certain that Northwestern is the university which would perfectly suit my interests and would be an experience that I would cherish for the rest of my life.

Hi there, do you have a word count limit on your response? It is really quite short in terms of response and discussion development when compared to the other Northwestern University responses here at the forum. It is because of the curt responses that you gave that there is an almost generic feel to the essay. You did not really open up in your response as well as you could have for some reason.

Rather than explaining what Biology means to you, I would have rather seen you explain your interest in biology in relation to specific classes, professors, internship opportunities, and research possibilities that you could undertake at the university. It doesn't matter what you believe about Biology. What matters is how you see the university furthering your interests and future goals. That is what you should discuss in terms of why you want to attend the university.

As you discuss your interest in Biology in relation to the university curriculum and other interesting connected offerings, you might want to throw in a sentence or two that refers to your future plans after graduation. Maybe pursuing a masters degree in some related field that you are sure Northwestern can help you develop a foundation in due to some specific reasons. Those are the more definite reasons that you would be attracted to Northwestern.

As you discuss the extra curricular activities at the university, you need to explain how these activities will help you become a better person in the future. What is it about these groups that interest you the most and why? Explain why these particular organizations tease your interest. Remember, you are trying to tell the reviewer that you are going to become a well rounded student at the university due to the academic and social developments that you can participate in while there.

When you talk of the programs that the university offers, try to be more specific about your interest in those offerings and how you see yourself becoming a better student because of it. Remember, the essay is asking you to explain the qualities of the school that have made you interested in joining their student community. Right now, that is the weakest link in this essay. It needs to be better discussed in order to strengthen that response.
