I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Admissions Office for reconsidering me for admission at Mount Holyoke College, and even though I am waitlisted, MHC remains my first and foremost choice and the fact that it is my dream school remains unchanged. Thus, if extended an offer, I would ecstatically accept it. Being part of a diverse and empowered community of women at Mount Holyoke will give me a voice and a strong, multifaceted identity. This is essential for me as I am the first generation in my family to attend college. I will get to be among individuals known for their opinions and tenacity. It will boost my confidence to move ahead and work for the women empowerment, I firmly believe in. Moreover, the academic program will give me a platform where I can make substantial contribution to in-class discourse. Courses like "Political Economy of the G-20" and "Developing Economy of the Global World" taught by experts in their respective fields will help me gain knowledge that will give me an intellectual edge while preparing for a career in foreign services. From my two years of high school at Nixor College, my education was never restricted to books …show more content…

Gaps in education standards and provision of basic human rights are undeniable there. I will work to address the ongoing issue of sexual harassment, rape and child abuse in the society, by setting up centers to provide sex education to females. I will also set up crisis centers where victims of such atrocities are provided legal and medical assistance, and counseling to boost their self image to a level where they can stand up to their oppressors, and exert the right to freedom and independence to which they are legally entitled. My work would be conducted in conjunction with LHLRA – Lawyers for Human Rights and Legal Aid: a firm that works to provide justice even if it comes with the cost of reforming the legal

  • Berkeley Admissions Essay

    The election night of 2000 was a pivotal moment in my life. I stayed up all night on November 7th, 2000, not because I was enthralled with watching Florida flip-flop between Gore and Bush, but because I had an IV in my arm which made it impossible to be comfortable. Earlier that evening, I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, a disease affecting 1 of 800 people in America. This was an especially crucial time in my life, considering I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis—an autoimmune disease that attacks the GI track in 1 of 1400 Americans—the June before, and I had my Bar-Mitzvah in September. According to the Jewish religion, I had become an adult, and as such, I had decided to greet my new medical challenges with gusto, attempting to see the silver lining from the very beginning. I cannot say that I am glad I was nature’s statistical anomaly, but I am thankful for the opportunity to see from a young age how to turn a tough situation into a positive. After almost nine years, I come back to this pivotal night in my life because it marked a change that still plays a part in my life now, and will continue to shape me in the future.
