Emory University is one of the nation's leading research universities. Emory works extremely hard to create a lucid transformation in the entire world through its research projects, scholarships, leadership, health care, and society. Augmenting to that, Emory University has wonderful graduate schools. Obviously if I attended Emory University, it is inevitable for me not to succeed there. Emory posses all the tools I need to get me through my undergraduate and to get me into graduate school with ease. People who have gone to Emory University are successful. A few famous alumni of Emory University include one former vice president of the United States, and a Supreme Court justice.

It is obvious that because of Emory's high calabur of knowledge and expertise I will be thriving in its atmosphere. I will learn and harness skills that will encourage me to succeed because of Emory with the help of its biology department. Since Emory's biology department is so extensive with its research and undergraduate advising, I would feel comfortable with whomever my mentor will be in the biology department. They do their best to provide biology majors with as much insight as possible due to the blatant fact that a Bachelor's in Science is difficult to receive. Not only would I like to get involved in Emory's biology department, I would like to get involved with a student organization at Emory too. Volunteer Emory appeals to me because I have been and still am involved in community service activities in my community such as volunteering at the Heaven's Heights clinic. I enjoy playing bingo with the mentally handicapped. We would go for walks frequently and color at times. So once I go to Emory, I would most gladly continue to stay involved in benefitting my community doing what I can to help others.

I feel like my essay is lacking something. I would appreciate any comments and advise for my short essay. You can tear it to shreads. I don't mind. In fact i would prefer that a lot haha. Thanks guys

"Obviously if I attended Emory University, it is inevitable for me not to succeed there."

"People who have gone to Emory University are successful. A few famous alumni of Emory University include one former vice president of the United States, and a Supreme Court justice. With that being said, it is obvious that because of Emory's high calabur of knowledge and expertise I will be thriving in its atmosphere."

It seems like you're saying you'll thrive at Emory because other people have done well there. But many successful people came from schools other than Emory. In your mind, what sets Emory apart for you?

You have a point. I just didn't know how or what to mention. Hmmm I think i'd have to say i like Emory because of it's location. It's not far from where i live. Emory's medical school is really good and I want to pursue a career in medicine.

Hmm, well seeing as you're applying undergrad, you should focus on the undergrad aspects rather than the grad. If you only like Emory because of its location and because it has a good med school (which MANY universities have), maybe you should reevaluate your decision? Have you visited or looked on their website? What programs do they have that appeal to you? What activities/clubs do they have that make you want to be a part of their community? Since you're interested in medicine, do some research about the science courses they have, or the research opportunities, etc. How will EMORY best prepare you for a career in medicine?
