Please review what type of applicant you are and submit a corresponding personal statement (must be at least 250 words). Relate your topic to your interest in digital media. For as long as I can remember, digital media has been in the forefront of my life. I remember printing out birthday cards for my friends, eagerly waiting for the inkjet printer to cease its whirring so I could proudly showcase my creation. My zeal did not die through high school, where I experimented with other concepts under the broad title of "media" - movies and music. I took to recording bands in a modest basement studio and composing comedic short films. With all these years of interest in mind, I wish to continue my passion as a Digital Media major at Drexel University. Though they are great influences on my life, my aforementioned home-grown efforts are not the extent of my experience in the digital media field. Since the January of 2009, I have been working as a paid student technician for Lawrence Township's District Media Center. As its name would suggest, this job entails a variety of video and audio-related tasks. One afternoon could be spent taping a soccer game outdoors, while the next could be spent working sound and lights for a production in the auditorium. Through this, I garnered a great deal of practical experience with various cameras and sound equipment. Moreover, I had my first taste of what a career in digital media would be like � and enjoyed every minute of it. Digital media's beauty lies in the sheer number of different fields and professions it connects to, and my experiences have reaffirmed how exciting it can be. To that end, Drexel's Digital Media program is ideal for me � to build upon past experiences, create new ones, and prepare me for a career in an immersive, digital future. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

This is a strong essay. You write well. To be helpful, only minor suggestions: I remember (THIS REPEATS THE REMEMBER USED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE - INSTEAD HOW ABOUT PUTTING IN YOUR AGE i.e. At 10 years of age, I printed) printing out birthday cards for my friends, eagerly waiting for the inkjet printer to cease its whirring so I could proudly showcase my creation. With all these years of interest in mind THIS IS NOT QUITE RIGHT , I wish to continue my passion as a Digital Media major at Drexel University.

nakulisbrown: working as a paid student technician for Lawrence Township's District Media Center. Great! You are doing good things with your life already. The first paragraph is terrific. I like the way you ended it with reference to their school. If it was my essay, I would spend some time at the end describing the resources and student communities at their school that will be important for you... or some of the professors who you look forward to working with.
