    Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’). I am a well-rounded student who places priority upon academics, as well as a broad array of performing arts extracurricular activities, over 300 hours of community service, several job experiences and religious organizations. Therefore, if admitted to The University of Pittsburgh, I would fit right in with the ardent and accomplished student body, just as I would benefit as a person and as…

    I'd like to work at NCG because I'm an outgoing person and I enjoy being around people. Therefore, NCG appeals to me because in my experiences the theater is always busy. I also like the fact that there will always be something to do because I dislike being idle for too long. Another reason I'd like to work at NCG is that I'm a member of the magnet program at Kennesaw Mountain and a job here would still be possible for me during the upcoming semesters.…

I plan to be an active member in NHS and possibly someone that others can always go to for guidance and…

    I was born in Mexico 22 years ago and brought to the United States at the age of 10.

    When imagining my future, I picture a long road of education before I have the opportunity to work in my desired career. In college, I will complete activities that will allow me to stand out to dental school admissions. I plan on majoring in biology, minoring in one or two additional subjects, and participating in various volunteering activities throughout college. I believe I have a head start on other pre-dental students because I will have completed at least nineteen college credit hours before my high school graduation. These credit hours demonstrate dedication to education and prove I have the mental toughness necessary to complete herculean college courses.…
