With the understanding that the choice of academic school you indicated is not binding, explain why you are applying to that particular school of study. (2000 characters)
Even though I have an interest in many fields of study, which makes me an undecided applicant, I have a passion in engineering. Since my first time taking a science class, I have been falling in love with this subject. Differ from other subjects, science uses rigorous and exact experiments to discover the true formation of daily matters and the general principles that they obeys. It is the testability and practicality that attracts me into this subject. Realizing the close connection between science and our daily life, I developed an interest in applying math and science to solve practical problems. When I was taking Biology and Chemistry classes, I truly enjoyed putting my hands on a lab and coming up with conclusions by analyzing data that was carefully collected during the testing process. Also, I enjoyed working efficiently with team mates to complete the mission. This kind of teamwork exposes me to different perspectives and information that will broaden my knowledge. I wish to continue this educational experience in my college by pursuing engineering study.
What motivated you to apply to Rice University? Please be specific and limit your response to 200 words.
When I was doing researches on Rice University, the 17th university among national universities by U.S. News and World Report, I was amazed and deeply attracted by its educational opportunities and campus environment. Rice University has a focus on undergraduate study. As an undecided student, I was very pleased by the diversity of schools that Rice University offers. Also, Rice University has a small student body that creates an opportunity to receive help from professors in and outside of classes. This opportunity will deeply benefit my education quality. Besides the high educational quality, environment within campus and around campus is another . Rice University is possessed of an artistic and academic environment. Rice's campus has an artistic atmosphere because is located in the museum district of Houston. And its academic environment comes from students' dedication toward study.
***When talking about the school, avoid statistics that the school already knows about. They want to know that you chose Rice because of something special about it, not because it is just prestigious. It is decent, but I think you are missing the prompt a little. They want to know WHY you enjoy it and what speaks to you.
Hope this and my last post helps!
