DREAM COLLEGE: CORNELL UNIVERSITY

Why choose Cornell? That is the simplest question ever. It's awesome! It has been my dream college ever since was in 8th grade.  There are just so many things to love about Cornell. I love the location and the campus. It is huge and absolutely beautiful. There is much to do and see around the campus. There is a vareity of majors offered and many clubs and other activities. There are also many sports to play and choose from, especially my favorite, tennis. This college is going to help and suit me in all ways because of three big reasons. First of all, the campus is big. Second of all,  it has an excellent pre-med program. And third of all, being a person who likes change and likes to travel, it is far away from where I live right now (Missouri) making it perfect to live a completely different style of life. Cornell is the perfect college !

OUT-OF-STATE PRIVATE: JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

I chose Johns Hopkins University because I have heard and read a lot about the university. I am familiar with the state-of-the-art facilities and more importantly, the pre-med program. JHU will help me reach my goal to become a doctor by providing an excellent pre-medical education and also possibily continue my graduate program there itself. Moreover, the fact that made Johns Hopkins University stand out from all of the colleges is that while being a student there, I will also be able to excel in my studies because JHU has their own hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital. I'd be able to practice and get to know the enviornment that I would be invovled in as I continue my career, making me more prepared to face "real" world. Also, I have heard a lot about the campus and how beautiful it is and the photos agree. I can't wait to visit the campus, it is looks absolutely beautiful and I know that all in all, I would love this college.

OUT-OF-STATE PUBLIC: University of California--Berkeley

Berkeley is one of the best public universities in the United States and it is a well-known public college for pre-med. According to the National Research Council, this college is ranked in the top 10th for most of the medical majors. Also, I really like the location. I love California; I have been there many times during my spring and summer break with my family and friends and it is absolutely beautiful.
