What programs and activities (these can be sports, studying abroad programs, student
government, fraternities/sororities, student organizations, etc.) are offered that will help you
engage more in your education or will support you with achieving your personal goals?

Program/activity:
Why does it interests you?

This school really interests me because Yale is all about law, and Im striving to be
something in the criminal justice field.

How will it benefit you?

It will benefit me because itll make where I want to be an easier process, since it
specializes in that.

Program/activity:
Why does it interests you?

This school also interests me because I get to explore while Im at it, since its in
Connecticut. I know I am not alone in that as well because a lot of people also want to be
the best, and in order to do that need to do what they have to do.

How will it benefit you?

It will benefit me because I can learn what it is to handle myself, and just experiment.

 Research Analysis

Based on the pictures, quotes, and information presented on the website and any other research
you have conducted, write a paragraph explaining what you like and don't like about this
school/program. Make sure that you highlight aspects about the school/program that makes it
different from other schools/programs you have researched.

What I like about this school is that its all about law, and that will really help me get to where I
want to be. I feel like it will be easier for me to learn and ask questions at a school that
specializes in one thing, since people will know what Im talking about. The only things that
really bug me about it is that the expectations are way too high and all these people that get
accepted or go there are way too smart and have crazy scores. Thats all personally so
intimidating, at least to me. Not only that, but this school is half a world away from here and it
kind of scares me to leave home. Other than this though, I am all for it.

If you are interested in applying to this school/program, what do you need to do to be

competitive during the application process?

In order to be competitive during the application process, I guess I would have to go above and
beyond expectations. If they like 4.19 GPAs, then Ill give them a 4.21.
