Ohio State Essay

<p>The Ohio State University is my top school right now. They have a short essay (300 words or less) in there application. If I could get some feedback on my response that would be great. The question is "Why do you want to attend the Ohio State University?".</p>

<pre><code>There are many things that attract me to Ohio State. One of which being the over 40,000 economically, ethnically, and socially diverse student body. This will help prepare me for a globally interconnected future. To me, Ohio State is more than just a university. It’s a community that prepares you for a successful future no matter what path you choose to take. Even though the school has a very large number of students I feel that I will be able to find my own niche yet take advantage of the opportunities a big school has to offer such as studying abroad and volunteer outreach in countries around the world. Another appealing aspect of Ohio State is its passion. I have attended a few of the universities football games, and I have never felt and seen such a great amount of pride for a particular school. Those Saturdays in fall really opened my eyes to the connection you have with alumni and current students at Ohio State. To see over 100,000 strong all wearing scarlet and grey watching the “Best Damn Band in the Land!” perform the famous script Ohio left me with a feeling I will never forget. Not only does Ohio State show passion on the field but is does so off the field as well. One major reason for me wanting to become a part of the Ohio State culture is focus on academic success. From what I have seen, Ohio State is one of the top research universities in the country. This will help me prepare for a constantly changing world where technology and research changes so drastically in such a short amount of time. I want to become a buckeye because it will give me the best opportunity for a successful life after college.
