Dear College Admissions Officer:

I am currently a Freshman at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, CA. I am in the AVID
program at our school. AVID is a course that is preparing me for the rigors of college and
helping me identify possible colleges I would be interested in attending. After researching
Princeton University, I was delighted to discovered that Princeton University was ranked number
one for national universities, Princeton has won more Ivy League titles than any other Ivy
Leagues, and nine percent of Princetons students are majoring in Biology. For these reasons, I
would be honored if I could attend your university after I graduated from high school.

I would like to pursue a career in the field of Biology and medical science and would like any
information you have on the majors related to this career. I would also like to receive financial
aid information, information on admission requirements, a poster or pennant, and any other
information that might help me ensure my success in my goal of attending your university in the
Fall of 2020 and to help me promote Princeton University on our high school campus.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to my request and I look forward to your
reply.

Sincerely,

Megan
