Hey. so here is my northwestern supplement. I am a little worried it doesnt make sense. The ending is a little similar to my J-Hop one, but only one or two lines. You may have to at least just skim my common app essay to understand the beginning of this one, but i doubt it. Anyway, three main concerns. 1. Length, 769 words, how can i shorten it. 2. Is it too abstract and flowery, does it make sense. 3. Does it show a passion towards northwestern
I was stunned. The natural beauty, the awe, the vividness of the surroundings, the spontaneous magnification in the focus in my eyes from what I had seen looking out of a dorm window in Northwestern was surreal. Never could I ever imagine such a view from a college dorm, especially in a region known for its dreary, blusterous winters. Even October could be unforgiving. But that gaze into elegance allowed me the rare chance to dwell on what I am so often oblivious to. For the first time in my life, I didn't see external beauty as superficial. I had spent my whole life disparaging natural beauty; even my trips to the Canadian Rockies had been lackluster. I had begun to slowly accept nature, but never did I think it would create an inner revolution within me. Something, maybe the idea of having that beauty always a window blind away, changed me. However, appreciating these external appearances is still new to me. Establishing a deeper, profound understanding of them is one of my own personal challenges, one of my ways of indulging my own curiosity which Northwestern provides a rare outlet for. Maybe there is nothing more to find, maybe nature's beauty is a simple purity. Maybe even the awe of that beauty ceases as quickly as it formed. But to stop now? Not after opening that window, that window of possibilities.
However, beauty itself was not enough; I needed a known, and something I could relate to. The networks on the individual level were precisely what I sought. This is the known I could come back to. This is the force that will always guide me. The University Career Services immediately struck as a powerful resource. This is hardly one of those common strange, out of touch places which the student can't relate to, rather the tremendous faculty assistance along with the diverse opportunities in class courses available at Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences make Northwestern the rare institution where I can create my own education.
However, the student supported organizations are most exciting. The Biology Students Association provides all kinds of opportunities to relay my passions toward the subject with fellow students and together create opportunities that can extend far beyond our time at Northwestern and for future classes. But it's the Premedical Society that really will help me focus my interests toward medicine, as broad as they are, by allowing me to start my understanding of medical school at the age of 19 as oppose to 23. This opportunity to get a feel for the nature of medicine is further enhanced in the chemistry council, where a unique perspective of organic chemistry and rare chances to do chemical research to complement my biological research lie. The enamoring opportunities to attend prestigious lectures will only add an extra dimension to my studies. The chemistry aspect in medicine is so overlooked when discussing the nuances of biology, but Northwestern is a place where the chemical aspect of medicine will not overwhelm me. The great opportunities to do research, even if I decide to pursue other biological sciences, ensures that I can further enhance my understanding of empirical science from freshmen year, allowing for a much greater comprehensive understanding with far more opportunities. Regardless of what I choose, I won't be in the majority looking at chemistry as the "dirty work" en route to more glamorous work in biology. Chemistry will be the outlet to a greater biology. Once again, I can create my own education.
That window provides me a sense of hope with the unknown of beauty lurking in the shadows of the campus. The chance to see how this enhances all aspects of my life gives Northwestern such unique and unfathomable potential. But it's the stability provided by Northwestern that makes me so secure. This is what satisfies me: I can look out that window knowing I can create my own voice in education at Northwestern.
