United States Admission Essays Samples For Students

China has proved to be a production hub for many multinationals like General Motors, IBM, Apple and many more. Low manufacturing costs and economies of scale have made it the most suitable production base. Its private consumption figure is 8% in the world but it contributes far more to the goods and services production. Recently people have started doubting the viability of setting up a production headquarter in China and believe that the golden days are over. None of the known economists have openly raised their doubts about the so called “Chinese Boom” coming to an end. The Great Depression that ...

The effort by the University of Washington to create a community of students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints is a defining feature of my desire to study there. Raised in Indonesia and having lived in Singapore I have been consistently exposed to new and compelling individuals. My early life provided a rich tapestry of cultural lessons that have served to pique my interest in learning and being a part of the larger international community.
Beginning with a reflection of my existing strengths and weaknesses, I firmly believe that my outlook, drive and emphasis on empathy for my fellows create the ...

[Client’s name]
In hot summer days, I would stand in our school playground, all of my friends surrounding me at either side of the volleyball net. That was synchronously the best and the worst part of the day. And I would push myself into the same practice every single day. The fact that I couldn’t play well-circumvented me, but I held on tightly to my stubborn, tenacious soul, forcing myself to face my frailties. What made that part of the day ever so nefarious was the fact that I was forcing myself to stand in front ...

Born in Peru, I came to USA in 2003. I had just completed my third grade secondary; equivalent to 9th grade high school in USA. As enthusiastic as I was, I was leaving behind that epoch of illusions, shyness, brotherhood, alternative rock and passive life forever.
My journey to Miami best describes my life in America; like an emotional roller coaster ride. I was travelling with my aunt Isabel, who I barely knew. The flight was delayed by 2 hours. There was a storm in Miami. Our plane jolted every now and ...

There are many unique and exciting opportunities in life, but they do not always lead us down the path that is best for us. Since achieving my Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, I have been considering the multitude of different avenues available for higher education in the business and finance world, and through my research, I became aware of Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business, and the associated finance and business Master’s programs.
I am pursuing a career in consulting or wealth management, with the intention of combining my personal multicultural background with my knowledge of the ...

I strongly believe that the world you come from can shape your dreams and aspiration. I was born and raised in a very conformist country in the Middle East – Kuwait. That is the place where I learnt that in order to reach anything in my life I should first get appropriate education – education is very important in my country and I decided to do whatever it takes to get the best education possible. Although Kuwaiti universities offer very profound and quality education, I want to go further than that and beside education broaden my outlook as well – the USA is a ...

My name is .. And my ID number is The academic major, which I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Public health. It is expected that I graduate within the next two years since I have completed all the general requirements in preparation for this experience. As a Public Health Major I anticipate becoming familiar with the areas in public health that I can use to benefit my community and the society generally.

Perhaps it is clichéd to say, but the world is increasingly interconnected. Jet travel and the internet facilitate international dialogue in ways hitherto unimagined. In earlier ages, for an individual to visit another nation required vast resources and involved much personal risk. However, today, direct dialogue with people on opposite ends of the earth is a commonplace occurrence, and the completion of large transactions, advanced levels of education, or negotiating the finer points of an international treaty, occurs daily using modern communication infrastructure. Today the international traveler is quite usual, and personal connections with people from other parts of ...

Summary of as to Why I Should Not Take the GMAT Exam

The GMAT examination has been duly designed for the purpose of gauging the skills and competencies of a person in the command and proficiency of communicating in English prior to admission to the Graduate Management program. As such, it is comprised of four crucial sections, to wit: analytical writing assessment; verbal; quantitative; and integrated reasoning . I am convinced that my current role and responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer of Ryutoku America Inc., located at Edgewater, New Jersey, rationalizes and aptly justifies waiver for taking the GMAT exam. For one, as the COO for nine years now, I am at the ...

I am a big fan of history, and I very much enjoy learning about the history of American conflict, particularly the Civil War. To that end, one of the most powerful and influential figures to me is John Brown. Brown was one of the most influential figures in American Civil War history; a famed abolitionist, he led the Pottawatomie Massacre and raided Harper's Ferry, without success. Being an important white figure in the abolition movement, he has proven an important person to study when contemplating the Civil War and the fight to free the slaves. In his trial and execution, Brown ...

The person who has had the most significant influence in my life is my father. My father holds a law degree from Ecuador. A copy of the certificate is framed above the family computer, representing father’s achievement. As a child, my desire to practice law grew consistently day after day. Every day I walked up past my father’s achievement above the family computer. Each day as I stare at it, I usually get inspired to do my best in the manner in which my father had done to attain a law degree. I would be reminded of the hardships he ...

Dear Sir or Madam;

Several years ago, at age ten, my family and I were privileged to enter this great nation of the United States of America. When we got to this country, we were hoping to escape our life of poverty; unfortunately, we soon realize that a better life in America is not magical. We recognized that America only provides the opportunity to a better life, like everything else, one needs to work hard to attain the American Dream.

My family and I struggled for a while, and one of the things we were not able to achieve immediately, was health care. As a result, I ...

There are many reasons I wish to attend George Washington University, not the least of which being my commitment to a good education and to attending a diverse university. Given my intercultural experience, I feel I would be a very good fit for the George Washington University community. Being from South Korea, and living there most of my life until very recently, I have a great deal of knowledge regarding this unique and vibrant culture. I would consider it a great honor to offer this information and knowledge about my culture to those who would be interested, furthering the collective understanding of those who ...

When I was a sophomore in high school, I was vice president of the Korean Club, an organization which sought to bring together Korean students, as well as educate others in Korean culture. The club was created in 2009 by myself and my friend, who acted as the president. While participating and running this club, I organized several activities to introduce Korean culture to the rest of my school and community. I taught basic Korean expressions and the Korean alphabet to my classmates and teachers. What's more, I served my fellow classmates traditional Korean foods, like Kim-Chi and Topokki. In ...

If I were to select an historical figure that has had the most vibrant and direct impact on me, it would be Benjamin Franklin. An American inventor, politician, philosopher and innovator, he is a figure whose resolve and imagination I have perpetually admired. He never rested, moving from discipline to discipline in an attempt to master all of them. He held an immense curiosity about the world around him, both in nature and in his fellow man. That type of altruism and sense of exploration is something I have held dear to myself, and hope I can merely come close ...

How a recent world development impacted me?

Not a day passes these days that some news really hit you hard. How could I not miss Osama Bin Laden’s killing being splashed everywhere? It was on Yahoo news, CNN flashed it for days, talk shows, colleagues and friends suddenly found something to gloat around. It filled us a week’s quota on the social calendar. It brought poignant memories of the World Trade Center. I guess terrorism is a subject best left handled by the Administration. It left a nation scarred and the impact since 9/11 has been increased security especially at the airports, malls, tubes.
But if there ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

After much deliberation on my part, I have concluded the best place to continue my education is Lynn University. The combination of academic, social, and cultural environments stands out to me, and I am sure they prepare all Lynn University graduates for success. However, what stands out most is the diversity of the campus. As an international student who has learned the importance of an education both in and out of the classroom, the value of a multicultural campus where one is able to learn not only from faculty, but also from peers is very important to me.

It has always been my desire to get a degree in engineering and pursue my interest in this field. By choosing the right program I feel that I will be motivated to do my best in this field and also gain confidence. Since when I was young it has been my dream to study abroad. I have always been a responsible student and have been immensely interested in gaining more knowledge. With a high score of (3.8) in GPA and being the best student in school, I was able to get a full scholarship from The Ministry of Higher Education to study in ...

Question One

It is really hard to select one outstanding attribute about oneself to speak about but when I look at most of the things I have done in my life one trait appears to cut across all my actions; pragmatism. I am logical to a fault, approaching all problems in a sensible, practical manner. In a sense this may be interpreted to mean that I am not an overly optimistic person. Far from it, I believe a little good luck goes a long way in helping us achieve our goals. Although I only realized it when I was older, my pragmatic nature had become evident ...

PR (public relations) changed my life. My road to the United States was neither simple nor easy. In the past I have been deported, arrested, lost a high paying job in journalism, and eventually had to escape to the US – all due to the power of PR. Those experiences have brought the realization that a deeper appreciation of the power of PR would have saved that life I lost. I believe now that the way for me to regain that life is to become an expert in what destroyed it. After nine years in journalism I discovered that PR is the ...

Personal Statement-- Business School

Some people seem to be born knowing what they want from life, and having a good idea how to work towards those goals; I was never gifted with this seemingly rock-solid idea of what my plan would be for the rest of my life. However, as I continued through my education I slowly came to see that uncertainty could be a positive or a negative thing for the future, depending upon how I utilized my time and resources. I have seen many people hold onto their goals too tightly and burn out early as a result; I have never faced this problem, choosing ...

Dear (Put entity or specific recipient here),

As any mother would attest, the most dramatic event of my life was the birth of my daughter. Through my daughter’s new life I saw the world of children, and realized that not all newborns were born into stable situations. My love for my daughter was extended to all children. I wanted the same opportunities and stability I wanted for her for everyone.
Something that I have always found interesting about studying psychology is that behind every idea there is a person, and behind every person there is a ...

UPSE v. Dept. of Health & ors. 2010 PESC 29

The Prince Edward Island Union of Public Sector Employees (UPSE) sought to make a claim of gender discrimination against the Prince Edward Island Department of Health on the basis that they advertised jobs and specifically stated that applicants must be male only. The Board of Arbitration found that this specification was, in context, understandable as the roles were for people who collect urine samples from men in which they are required to stand behind the subjects during the sample being given. The Board ruled that the ‘men only’ specification was to preserve the dignity of the male sample givers. However, ...

I hail from a business family. Having experienced a successful father running an oil service company since I was six years old, I have developed early insights into decision-making processes. Over years, oil industry – and, for that matter, oil business management – has grown by leaps and bounds. By requiring ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications by regulatory bodies in order to maintain quality management standards, our company's management has recognized how systematic adoption of business processes and practices should help streamline business operations and make certification only a matter of formality. The company is current at crossroads as a new ...

Success in any pursuit requires two important components that rely on each other. These components include a person’s motivation for achieving a goal and the theoretical knowledge for refining the practice of doing something that a person believes strongly in. My motivation for choosing the Masters of Science in Management (MIM) comes from an interest in business, economics and finance that has ...

When I was a child, I was young, aggressive and rebellious; thinking back on it, it was likely a product of my parentage, which was never the most loving and accommodating of relationships. I did not work very hard in school in my younger days, missing the change to get enrolled in a prestigious high school by doing poorly in my third grade of junior high; ...

Admission Essay

I found myself inclined to pursue a master’s course in Finance since the time I enrolled for a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at D’Amore-McKim School of Business where my choice of major is finance. While studying finance, I became interested in investment accounting and fund management, and I plan to carve out a successful career as a portfolio manager. I am a rather meticulous individual and plan things in advance for any eventuality. As such I have delineated a career plan to achieve my career goals, and a Master’s Degree in Finance from Northeastern University will be a crucial part of this ...

The financial struggles my parents faced never discouraged their commitment to provide me with the best possible education. As the child of a Hispanic mother who was only nineteen years old when I was born, my earliest days started out in Brooklyn, New York. Although parenthood must have been overwhelming, my mother never let life’s challenges dismiss her own education. Despite the financial struggles of raising a family while young, my parents emphasized the importance of education by making it a priority, which often meant working harder than most to make ends meet. Graduating from St. John the Baptist Diocesan High ...

Growing up in Egypt, my family did not have much – my parents were extremely loving people who taught myself and my sister the value of a good education. Working often menial jobs, they scrimped, saved and worked as hard as they could to allow us to follow our dreams. When the time came to graduate high school, my family’s limited finances left us with a dilemma – allow me to go to school right away, or to save that money and work harder to help my sister achieve her dream of becoming a medical doctor. I immediately knew the right ...

I came to the United States in 2009. I was deeply shocked by the stack contrast between my culture and the United States culture. The Americans had a unique culture. Most of them were always challenged by everything around them. No sooner had I started interacting and mingling with them, than I was assimilated into their culture of tackling challenges as they emerge. For sure within no time, the challenging spirit became one of most precious treasure. By 2011, I was in a position found an auto trading company in China with two partners. I became the vice manager of the ...

The stench of a fish market is sufficient to create a frenzy environment; it is probably a product of the customers’ rush in an attempt to escape the foul smell. I tried to distract myself from the foul smell and fortunately, I succeeded in doing just that. I looked upon the holy river of Nepal, Baghmati—the river that was once the pride of the nation but had lost its grace and integrity due to the sewage wastes that were dumped recklessly and irresponsibly. As years passed by, the river began to recede and the only ones who witnessed that were the ...

My Spiritual Growth

Growing up, my equation for a “complete” life was this: a loving family, a caring group of friends, good academics, and some form of religion. That concept changed in the past few years as I have slowly understood the true meaning of Christianity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
Though I was born into a Christian family, I was completely indifferent and oblivious to Christianity’s supposed role in my life. It was nothing more than just a boring routine. Church every Sunday, youth group every ...

“Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also humanity.”

Several themes have emerged in my life over the years that make me well-suited for a successful career in medicine. From a life-changing accident at the age of seven to a fascination and curiosity of the human body to a passion for research that helps improves the lives of others.
At the young age of seven, I was an ordinary southern child living in rural Fulton, Kentucky. I enjoyed fishing, playing with my dogs, and riding horses. Then one day an accident happened that would change the rest of my life and target my interest in medicine.

Nursing can be a seriously demanding job. It can be demanding in terms of time, physical effort, and most importantly mental and intellectual effort. Nursing is not just a profession but also an outlet for passion . At first, I thought that nursing was just a profession in the healthcare industry that involves assisting doctors and other medical professionals in doing their job, which most of the time leads down to taking care of the patients and addressing their medical needs. It was not long until I realized that that perception was not only ambiguous but also sort of distorted because nursing, like ...

Coming to United States alone was my first real challenge, which started five years ago, when I was 13 years old. I adjusted rapidly to the new environment and I joined St Croix Lutheran High School. Residing in the dorm, I sought the opportunity of better knowing my colleagues and other students my age and I started working as resident assistant in the dorm, which besides enhancing my networking abilities with my peers, also allowed me to become familiar with the administrative responsibilities that my position implied.
Because I am a dynamic person and constantly searching for new challenges, ...

Human trafficking is a social issue that threatens the safety of children and adults alike, exploited for attaining the interests of organized crime groups. Such exploitation affects the victims’ further development and negatively impacts their wellbeing and self-esteem. This issue is significant to social work practitioners, responsibly committed to reduce poverty throughout the world, to empower vulnerable groups, to sustain the gender equality, to erase the gender-based oppression and to promote equitable and equal access to education (Haoughton & Khandker 176). Hence, human trafficking severely abuses human rights and social workers fight for reinstating them. Human trafficking is an increasing concern ...

The world is in a constant state of flux, changing by the moment to adapt to new environments. Empires rise and fall as steadily as the waves of the seas, and as soon as one power recedes, another one comes to fill in the vacuum that has been left in the wake of the former. From the beginning of the age of discovery until the second world war, the primary power brokers of the world were European nations. Since the end of the destruction of the Second World War, The United States of America has played an ever larger and ...

The world is a more complex place than ever before, and with this complexity has come a whole new host of social and economic problems that affect people the world over. Growing up in India, I witnessed a variety of social ills firsthand, but one problem that I witnessed that I strongly believe I can have a hand in solving is the problem of black market money (henceforth BMM). BMM in India is a large problem, because money earned in this way is not subject to taxes; people working under the table for BMM have none of the legal protections of official employees, either. ...

I am an International student who is yet for admission for a Master of Medical Dosimetry at University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Centre. I am kindly requesting for a TOEFL waiver.

I have based my admission essay on the objectives of an MSN degree, as detailed in the following paragraphs.

It was my fault, I thought. The first day that I had enlisted in the United States Navy coincided with America's declaration of war on Iraq. The incredible timing of the whole chain of events was such that I imagined only Providence could have been responsible. Looking back on this moment, I could not fathom what I had done, or what factors in the universe had led to this coincidence; I was young enough that I had no real idea of what life was really about. The only thing that I could recognize was that these events would teach ...

Throughout my life, I have come across different scenarios that require critical thinking and coming up with conclusive and sustainable solutions. Amongst these decisions that I had to make is one that holds my entire future. I have always believed that life involves a variety of choices and a well chosen choice indicates who I stand for, where I want to be and why and how I want to get there. It is the capability to make the right decisions that decide my future in academics and professionalism.
Despite the wide variety of selection of universities, AUC is my preferred ...

Throughout life I have always set goals and worked hard to accomplish them. Some were easy – others were not. The easy goals accomplished were earning the number one academic rank from middle school through senior high school, winning the U18 National Saxophone Championship in 2005, and attending college in the states. However, after being admitted into college, I was lost with the new found freedom of being away from parents. And this was the beginning of experiencing challenging goals.
During the summer of 2010, I realized that I was not doing anything with my life since returning home ...

I got my Bachelors Business Administration degree in 2007. Since then, I have worked for a number organizations. My experience working across different cultures has been remarkably educative and exciting. I have gained invaluable skills and developed essential networks relevant to my work.

While I have had an exhilarating experience, I have faced with several setbacks as I pursue further career and personal development. One of the reasons I have decided to acquire a graduate degree in business is changing dynamics in the job market. Employers are seeking individuals harboring experience, skills and who are highly educated. Millions of my collegues ...

My father was a policeman, and was very good at his job, but we still had to struggle to make ends meet. As a result, we often made sure to never waste anything, and never take anything for granted - aspects of my personality I carry with me to this day. My father taught me the values of hard work and perseverance; I also learned patience and ...

It is not hard to notice that a person is always influenced by the environment and community he/she lives in to a great extent. The world view is shaped in this way, which is why it is important to take the most out of any situation. I believe that there is no better experience in this regard, than working or living in a diverse community, as it gives an insight into the ways of thinking different people have. This allows you to broaden your background knowledge and better prepare for future. For me there was a turning point in life, when I understood ...

While in high school, I became interested in sociology when I took a class about social and cultural phenomena. It is fascinating to watch cultural trends change over time. My goal is to become a journalist so I can study and report on sociology.

Cultures differ on what is acceptable behavior in their society. For example, people from the United States shake hands when they greet each other while people from the Japanese culture bow when they greet each other. Why? How did these different behaviors develop? What is the significance of each behavior? Researching these differences interests me.

Personal Statement

My greatest wish has been to be part of UCLA and later become a nurse. Nursing falls in line with my intellectual interests and I have always been fascinated by the human body and all its intricacies, how it functions, what happens when it malfunctions, and what is done to restore its health. I majored in neuroscience because it contributes to my understanding of the human body and feeds my interest (Huber 21). This interest also extends outside school. On a monthly basis I read through the American Journal of Nursing, American Journal of Critical Care, and Critical Care Nursing. I ...
