    UC Irvine (UCI) was first founded in 1965. UC Irvine was one of three new Universities of California campuses established in the 1960s. UC Irvine was not named after the city it was built in, instead, the name is a reference to James Irvine, a landowner who administered the 94,000-acre Irvine Ranch. At the time, the current city of Irvine did not exist until it was incorporated in 1971. In 1964, the University purchased an additional 510 acres for housing and commercial developments. Most of the land that UCI didn’t purchase, which is now occupied by the cities of Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach, and Newport Coast, is now held by the ‘Irvine Company’. UC Irvine's first Chancellor, Daniel G. Aldrich, developed the campus's first academic…

    I can definitively, and honestly state that Paul L. Foster School of Medicine is the school of which I have the greatest interest in attending. For eighteen years, I have called the border city of El Paso my home. Our amiable and uniquely culturally diverse population is the reason that I have found living in El Paso to be extremely comforting. The loving nature of the people of El Paso allowed me to develop many friendships, which helped create countless beautiful memories. I want nothing more than to continue my education in El Paso, and to watch this city continue to evolve. Further, I wish to practice medicine in this community which has given so much to my family and me.…

    As a school that is a solid segue beyond my homeschooling experience in the Classical Conversations model, I am enthusiastic about the possibility of attending Hillsdale College. One of the more encouraging aspects of my inquiry into the school was discovering the Hillsdale College Mission Statement. Hillsdale is one of the few schools that stand apart from the norm of secular humanism as a driving ideology in higher education. The school’s respect for our country’s Western philosophical and theological inheritance, genuine liberal arts education, and usage of precept and example to instill Christian principles stand out as key components. As with our Founding Fathers, it respects, reveres and considers the diffusion of learning and the ability to reason soundly an essential component of higher learning and preparation for adulthood in the context of these principles.…

    Ever since I was in about second grade I have dreamed about going to Bishop Lynch. I always heard good things about the school, and have experienced many of them myself. I enjoy that the school offers many sports and clubs, which I would be very active in. I think teams teach leadership, and leadership builds leaders which would help me get far in life. Bishop Lynch provides many opportunities to be included in AP and Honors classes to advance me in my studies. Not only does Bishop Lynch have great academics and sports but you also have a great fine arts department. I believe that creativity sharpens your mind. Lastly, Bishop Lynch High School feels like home. I feel as if I am meant to go to BL. With such a great academic program, fantastic…

    Southern Methodist University’s mission statement resonates with the same values I admire about a University such as “promoting an environment emphasizing individual dignity and worth”. Growing up I lacked essential self-worth. Upon beginning highs school I was very confused and frustrated person. I was learning to accept myself for being gay and the conservative and traditional environment I was in made it difficult for me to express who I was. The misrepresentation and disrespect I gained from being a double minority in high school fueled a passion in me which became the catalyst for positive change in my academic career. Since I began to attend Tarrant County College, I have joined the Cornerstone honors program offered at the campus and…

    When I think about Virginia Commonwealth University, three words come to mind: diversity, excellence and opportunity. Attending such a college as VCU will not only help me educationally, but it will also help shape up many different aspects of my life for many years to come. From the variety of classes to the incredible diversity, VCU has the potential to shape my college years. Since I was four years old, I have always dreamt of living in the city. However, my dream was short lived seeing as how I have lived in upstate New York my whole life. Clifton Park is so closely knit to the point where everybody knows each other. VCU will thankfully change this for me by allowing me to be a part of such a diverse community. I will have the opportunity…

    Having attended a Catholic High School, while not being Catholic has opened many doors for me. I got to experience another religion, while learning about its origins, beliefs, and contributions to the world. Growing up in a Sikh family, I had always been taught to respect human life, work hard, give back, and remember God; a lot of these same aspects were reiterated in school, engraining them in my everyday life. One of the main concepts I took away from my high school was the concept of education hearts and minds, which in my mind resonates highly with the mission of Pepperdine. The main aspect behind educating hearts and minds is that while education in the purest sense is very important, equally important is how we go…

    As a first-generation student, I am significantly influenced by the Student Affairs staff at my undergraduate institution. When I arrived at Ramapo College, I quickly realized I was not prepared for college-level work, if it were not for the Educational Opportunity Fund Program, I would have felt lost and would have struggled both academically and financially. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have had many Student Affairs professionals guide me to academic success and personal development. As a result, I made the conscious effort to work with the minority students on campus and accepted the position as a Resident Program Assistant for the EOF program. I worked with a diverse population of students where the majority came from low-income communities who had the potential to perform college level coursework. While…

    The Student affairs profession is a field that I found intriguing for many reasons. As I was finishing my undergraduate degree, I often caught myself reflecting back on my college journey while acknowledging the counselors and professors that helped me reach this educational goal of mine. The positive impact and the much-needed guidance that these professionals provided is what ultimately pushed me to believe in academic capabilities because if it was not for them I most likely would not be in the place I am today. Having been the first one in my family to graduate high school and pursue higher education was challenging in itself. I was faced with unforeseen struggles in which I could not turn to my parents for answers.…
