Hello,
this is another essay of mine. Please take some time to help me look through. Thanks in advance!
What are the unique qualities of Northwestern - and of the specific undergraduate school 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?
First and foremost, Northwestern attracts me with its robust economics programme with its renowned professors in the faculty. As I am deeply interested in economics, Northwestern would be able to provide a great platform for me to pursue my interest. I am particularly interested in economics because to me life revolves around economics. Everyday, we see economics and make use of economics, whether in making choices bearing in mind opportunity costs or in the purchase of goods and services involving demand and supply. Economics is a beautiful subject which forms the foundation of how we work, live and play. As such, I am compelled to pursue an economics degree in a university with an excellent economics faculty; Northwestern is thus a natural choice for me.
With that interest in economics, I intend to take every available opportunity seriously to pursue the subject. I intend to immerse myself in the wide array of programmes that Northwestern provides. The Kellogg Business Certificate, internships at various business institutions, the study abroad programme and the Undergraduate Leadership programme are just a few to name. As I hope to pursue an all-rounded interdisciplinary education, these programmes will allow me to further my academic interests and help to shape my character at the same time.
Next, I value Northwestern's student diversity as well. It is my belief that a myriad of cultures would add value to the learning experience in any institution. I excited at the prospect of being able to interact with students coming from all over the world and would want to learn more about them and their cultures. In the globalised 21st century, a knowledge of people from multiple nationalities would render one more aware as a global citizen and broaden one's global perspective. It is my hope that I would benefit from such a rich melting pot of cultures at Northwestern and would be eager to contribute to the diverse study body as an international student coming from Singapore.
Last but definitely not the least, the multiplicity of extra curriculars at Northwestern amazes me. Northwestern caters to the interests of all students and allows one to set up an interest club or society easily. As I believe in an all-rounded education, non-academics are as important to me when considering Northwestern as my choice of university. Student groups such as AIESEC, Alternative Student Breaks, Associated Student Government, Northwestern University Singaporeans and Friends, Operation Smile, Outing Club and Peace Project interest me. There are simply too many exciting student groups which allow me to pursue my interest in community service and student leadership. With my ready experience in these aspects, I hope to take some of these student organisations to greater heights in future.
With Northwestern's excellence in both academic and non-academic fields as well as the diverse student body it offers, I am certain that Northwestern is an institution which perfectly suits my interests and would be a learning experience for me that would be wholeheartedly treasured for life.
