Academic Interests
200 wordsWhat academic areas are you interested in exploring at Emory University and why?
Paragraph 1: The Spark of Curiosity
- Open directly in the middle of a concrete, high school narrative scene that triggered your academic interest.
- It is best to include specific sensory details, localized problems, or anomalous observations that made your favorite field of study intellectually unavoidable.
- Do not include childhood cliches like playing with legos, early family vacations, or generic declarations of lifelong passion.
- Avoid throat clearing introductions.
Paragraph 2: Structured High School Pursuit
- Show how you systematically followed this initial interest inside and outside your school classes.
- It is best to include references to rigorous coursework, advanced projects, or self directed reading that challenged you.
- Do not list your grades, GPA, or AP scores.
- Avoid reciting your resume or transcript as a dry list, because admissions officers already have access to those documents elsewhere.
