Essay Topic:Please tell us what you find most appealing about Columbia and why. (Columbia University, 200 words)
Columbia University’s logo, the Crown,arouses my special interest in the University. As I understand, it must be connected with the University’s original name: King’s College. Actually, just like a King, not only does the University still follow the tradition of liberal arts education, but it changes over time to take the lead. I am sure that through the two papers of its Core Curriculum, namely Contemporary Civilization and Literature Humanities, I can learn more about the history and literature of our mankind, what’s more, which can help improve my critical thinking ability and broaden my viewpoint to adapt myself to my further study. As a supplement to Core Curriculum, a new course, Frontiers of Science, is being offered this fall to remedy the previous neglect that students should be trained in the science-related knowledge. I highly value this “change-over-time” practice.Studying in such a university, I’m sure, I can benefit a lot from it: not only enriching myself with cutting-edge professional knowledge as well as cultivating my personalities.

Essay Topic:Why NYU? (Characters available 1500)
New York University first stands out in my college list because of its emphasis on the education of arts and social studies to its students. Its many famous alumni have made the university more attractive to me, a girl who has a deep love for art and design. Although I have won several awards in some art competitions in recent years, I expect to enrich myself with professional knowledge at NYU to continue my pursuit of art,so that I can realize my dream of becoming a designer.
As NYU is situated in the heart of New York city, a dynamic and multicultural metropolis, there is no doubt that I can make the most of the resources that New York has offered. Wandering around museums,galleries and various art festivals will greatly enhance my appreciation for art and inspire my creativity. What’s more, it will be much easier for NYU students to find internship opportunities than students in other universities, and I am sure that these internships will help me apply my knowledge into practice, and I can get a real sense of work place and work experience in advance.
As NYU is a university that is dedicated to fulfill its students’ full potentials, I hope I can take advantage of my four years at NYU to pursue a good undergraduate education and make myself more multicultural in New York so as to lay a good foundation for my future career.
