I am currently working on my application for a study abroad in the USA. Since my grades aren't the very best, I need to persuade the jury with my study proposal. This is basically a 2-page informational essay about the course of my life so far and my future goals, especially in education. I have received an education pretty focused on economics thus far and would therefore like to argue, that it would make the most sense for me to go to a college that has a very good reputation in the economics / business department. However, since, like I said, my grades aren't top notch, it can't be the most prestigious school either. The perfect fit would be a college that is generally seen as mediocre, but has a fine economics / business branch. The list of the colleges available is this: (Platz/Plätze = Number of available places) Duke University (Durham, North Carolina, 1 Platz) Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana, 2 Plätze) Middlebury College (Middlebury, Vermont, 1 Platz) Reed College (Portland, Oregon, 1 Platz) University of Chicago (Chicago, Illinois, 1 Platz) University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1 Platz) Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1 Platz) Hampshire College (Amherst, Massachusetts, 1 Platz) Montana State University (Bozeman, Montana, 1 Platz) Rutgers University (Camden, New Jersey, 1 Platz) Tulane University (New Orleans, Louisiana, 4 Plätze) University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona, 1 Platz) University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 1 Platz) University of California System (13 Plätze) (UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz) University of Colorado (Boulder, Colorado, 2 Plätze) University of Kentucky (Lexington, Kentucky, 1 Platz) University of Maryland (College Park, Maryland, 1 Platz) University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 1 Platz) University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2 Plätze) University of Washington (Seattle, Washington, 1 Platz) So which of these would you recommend? I have to turn in a list of my top ten preferences. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
