Boston University Short Response

In no more than 250 words, please tell us why BU is a good fit for you and what specifically has led you to apply for admission.

Hi guys! I need some sincere opinions on my short essay for BU… Please Help!!! Thank you all in advance!

I’m that person who would love to know what it feels like to have a numbed nose, to slip due to the iced floor from old snow layered over the night. As an immigrant born in the Caribbean, I’m fascinated by snow. I have yet to live in a city were all stations are clearly highlighted throughout the year. Boston University is the place for me because it will fulfill my eagerness for intellectual and personal challenges that lead towards growth. Its competitive atmosphere will serve as a prominent foundation for the graduate level. Furthermore, BU’s reputation of academic excellence will push me to reach goals I never thought possible. As a pre-medical student, BU’s intimate partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital will lead me a step closer towards fulfilling my dream of doing research on Down Syndrome. Massachusetts General Hospital’s Down Syndrome research program is second to none in the country. My desire to one day be a part of this program has driven me towards attending BU since the second I heard about it. A deal sealer for me is the class size at BU. The general class size at BU  will give me the opportunity to engage with my professors obtaining the most out of their rich educational experience and knowledge. My mother never failed to tell me to follow my greatest desires even if they lie at dark and dangerous places. I happen to be lucky that this time it lies at such a beautiful place.
