Georgia Tech Personal Statement

Georgia Tech’s research in its Center of Music Technology excites and inspires me, specifically the work with "musically-inclined" robots, Shimon and Shimi. Georgia Tech provides an environment that encourages

    Howard University guarantees their students a very well-rounded education, while still letting them dive into the beauty of their majors. As a Howard student, I will be able to reach my full potential intellectually and socially and strive for success in my intended field of study, Political Science. I’ve been interested in political science for a long time and what intrigued me the most was that I would be learning more about other countries and focusing on their cultures, belief systems, and stances on various international issues and crises.

    This next section will present real-life application of some of the previously mentioned measurements and sonification techniques to present a performance in which brain activity is part of the piece.

    In order to explain the reason of why I want to attend the Musicians Institute’s Bachelor Program, I would need explain a bit about myself first. You see, when I was young, I've never really had friends or anyone to really talk to, and because of this, I spent most of my childhood alone. Due to the position I was at, I tried to fill in the missing void by wandering inside my imagination, so naturally for most of my time I would be day dreaming. One day I was driving with my parents to school and a certain song came on, and while that song was playing, my imagination went out of control involuntary to the music and started to create a story based off of the song I was listening to, not only that, it also made me feel some type of emotion, if I recall correctly, the emotion that I felt was, happiness. After that moment, I began hearing more songs from a variety of different bands and artists, and the more songs that I began to hear and like, the more my imagination…

    Those first couple of moments are nerve wrecking. When I first walked onto the Georgia Tech student with the possible idea that I might actually come here are exhilarating. But the worst part was feeling like everyone was staring at me, knowing that I was just some high schooler touring the area. Fear began to creep in further though as one of the presenters began talking about all the accomplishments Tech students have and the high grades beginning to make me feel that I was not smart enough to be here. Those were the reasons that I felt that I shouldn’t even apply to Tech.…

    On a sweltering summer day in the City of Atlanta or the “ATL” as it is affectionately known today, I visited my best friend while he visited his father for the summer. That day I remember vividly because as soon as we stepped outside of the airport to take the “MARTA” train, I began to sweat profusely. Anyone that has been to Atlanta during the summer knows it is incredibly humid there. A week earlier I had seen my friend, and we planned out what we were going to do that week I visited. I knew I wanted to visit Spellman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, and Morris Brown College, but before I could visit the Atlanta University Center or the “AUC” as it is called to the locals, I felt compelled to visit the grave site of one of the most influential human being to walk this earth.…

    Argumentative Paper: Artificial Intelligence in Music There is something about music that seems inherently human.

For the most part, humans have been the only ones to create and use music for recreational use for millennia (Armony and Vuilleumier, 2013). With that being said, it is difficult to imagine music being made by anything else.…
