What makes Stanford a good place for you?
As one of the most selective universities in California, and the U.S, I am assured that the student body at Stanford University is compromised of the most brilliant, diverse and compelling people unmatched by any other university. Not only is the student body brilliant but also the faculty which is compromised of Nobel laureates and MacArthur fellows. It is this that created an affinity towards Stanford in me in the first place; the great minds that can be found there.
Being surrounded by such brilliant minds creates an intellectually stimulating environment, something that I truly enjoy. The possibilities of the many discussions or conversations that can be had just outside of the classroom are unfathomable, much less the sort of discussion in the classroom. And although some may fear that they will be outshined by someone who is more intelligent than them, it will act as a driving force for me, maintaining my momentum strong, striving to match those who may be at a higher level than I am.
Stanford also has a strong commitment to not only teaching but research as well, something that also intrigues me, and with its seven on campus schools, independent research labs and centers, I would be hard pressed not to participate in any research projects or programs. Not only will I be able to do research in my own field of study but as well as aid other students and faculty in their own field of study. This research will allow me to put my knowledge into practice, better preparing me for my future career.
As someone who likes to be in an intellectually engaging environment, pushed by his fellow peers and wants to be as best prepared for his future career, I believe that Stanford is a great match for me. It will provide me with all that I could possibly ask for a school and possibly much more.
