Why Michigan? Political Science and Psychology

Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School (including preferred admission and dual degree programs) to which you are applying at the University of Michigan.

As I matured, I was perpetually asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Despite the monotony of the question, I always enthusiastically set about describing my desired career path. As to be expected, my response varied frequently over the years, but I now aspire to be a doctor with a law degree. Subsequently, I believe the University of Michigan is the perfect place to implement my personalized career path, majoring in Political Science and Psychology in The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.

I am drawn to The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at U-M because of its liberal arts curriculum. As my career endeavors have changed countless times in the past, at U-M, I do not have to be wary of a newly acquired academic interest. Additionally, with the offering of Michigan Learning Communities, I would belong to a smaller community within the larger University of Michigan community. Therefore, in a MLC, I would be connected with students and professors who share my interests. Nonetheless, with academic advisors, learning centers, Project Outreach, and ADVICE Online there are no limits to a University of Michigan education.

As a renowned research institution, U-M is my quintessential academic and social community and as an undergraduate, I want to be a part of the "Michigan Difference." U-M turns students into professionals and individual passions into a career; therefore, I know that Michigan can prepare me for future success. Furthermore, as a University of Michigan LSA undergraduate I can fulfill my educational interests, participate in revolutionary research, and study abroad. University of Michigan will provide me with a place to grow, learn, interact with a diverse group of individuals, and be unique. Similarly, as an LSA undergraduate, I imagine myself browsing the well-stocked shelves of the one of the world's largest library systems, as well as, playing intramural sports.

College is a medium through which students can turn themselves into what they want to be. I aspire to be a member of the extensive University of Michigan LSA community; I want to be a Wolverine.

This is due soon so any critiques are wanted. Additionally, I will read your essay in return.

I like this sentence.

This essay demonstrates great writing and intellectual ambition, but it could do a better job of expressing your specific aspirations. For example, this is the kind of general thing someone says if they have not become specific about the approach to psychology they want to take, their political philosophy, etc-- "fulfill my educational interests, participate in revolutionary research, and study abroad." That is general. But if you have read many books, you can discuss your intention to apply the principles of existential psych while you apply your pol. sci. work to feed war and eradicate the hungry. Well, you know what I mean.

:-) Get specific in your expression of your intentions.
