How I Succeed In My Upper Division Courses

Please describe how you have prepared for your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your-upper division courses once you enroll at the university?

I have always been committed to a caliber of excellence in my academic work. When I was young my parents instilled in me a will to succeed and a drive for success, and these have helped me to succeed in my academic, personal, and professional life. I have prepared for my intended major by enrolling in classes that will educate me about my intended field, speaking with available professionals, and by doing independent research into the areas of my field I am working towards. As a second-year student I am already taking upper division courses at my institution of study, and both my professors and peers are impressed with the quality of work I produce. I am ready to succeed in the upper division courses at the university because I have already been doing upper division work, and am excited to learn as I work towards a profession in my intended field.

Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity
I have taken advantage of my school’s unique location - not only in London, but as an International school - to connect with and learn about people and cultures I may never have encountered. University has always been a place to develop and share different ideas, but by going halfway across the world I have not only been introduced to a range of different perspectives, I have also been able to develop my own more completely. In addition, working in London has introduced me to such a variety of people I would not have met had I gone to school in a different location. Overall, attending a university in a different country, and in such a popular city, has allowed me to experience a more complete sense of diversity, and to develop a more “global” world
