为什么选择纽约大学文书范例

Ever since my elementary school principal said only boring people get bored, I feel anxious when I find myself becoming uninterested. Because of this, I’ve never been one to follow a direct path; I’ve never been the one to keep white shoes clean.

Thankfully, I had the chance to break in my new Converse on my campus tour. With every step on the campus, my shoes accumulated character-adding scuffs while I envisioned the many paths I have access to explore at NYU. The Gallatin School of Individual study creates an environment of unconventionality where I can further explore what I’m unapologetically passionate about: neuroeconomics. 

I’m attracted to interdisciplinary studies because I am intrigued with how seemingly separate topics can intersect in unexpected ways. Gallatin’s unique program will allow me to expand upon the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and economics into one area of study and explore my enthusiasm for the innovative research taking place in these fields. By taking Nancy Rubion’s Consumer Culture and the Birth of the Department Store seminar, I will gain an understanding of how socio-cultural influences affect people’s decisions, which will act as a more solid foundation for my ideal neuroeconomics concentration. In order to form an individual, thematic curriculum, I’d take Experimental Economics, Social Psychology, Minds Bodies: A History of Neuroscience and Finance for Social Theorists. I would complement this academic work with independent research with Ernst Fehrin on researching strategic interactions and the neurobiological foundations of social and economic behavior. 

In addition to making an academic impact by collaborating with multiple fields of study, I’d hope to further my social impact. I leapt at the opportunity to spearhead a new Chadwick Global Opportunity trip to Cambodia entitled Changing the Way the World Views Girls. I was not expecting this trip to alter my own perspective on women’s equality as much it did; I was shocked to realize the extent to which women are discriminated against in this part of the world. 

It reminded me that I can be part of the solution to this problem; through the Speak Up For the Poor organization, I created a branch to Cambodia advocating for the education of girls in impoverished communities there. I’d bring the lessons from this work to NYU’s community by connecting with The Gender and Power Society student club to provoke discussion on uplifting women through education.
