This was my Why Emory essay. I didn't get Scholars semi-finalist but I got in EDII. I'm pretty sure it still has errors in it even though i went over it about 20 times.
If Emory University was a person, he and I would be best friends. I drink Coke like I need it to survive; Emory received most of his life-savings from the Coca-Cola Corporation. I got to the top of my class through years of hard work; Emory started out at the bottom of the barrel, and is now one of the leading educators in America. I have a huge desire for knowledge; Emory has the ability to give me this knowledge.
If Emory was truly a person, I would ask him to be my mentor. After all, he can teach me everything I’ve ever wanted to learn about business with the help of his son, Goizueta. Emory’s house has every accommodation I need to facilitate and catalyze my learning. His other Greek apprentices will ensure that my apprenticeship will not only be enjoyable, but memorable as well. Emory’s overseas connections will allow me to develop my Spanish language skills to the fullest and to perhaps become fluent, as I am already very close to being so.
After teaching me all he knows, Emory will be able to introduce me to his close friend, Georgia Tech. While Emory is the Master of Arts and Sciences in Georgia, certainly no one knows engineering better than Mr. GaTech. This will be the perfect opportunity for me to supplement my business degree with a Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering.
Through our similarities and his knowledge, resources, and relationships, Emory has the ability to help me become the person I have always wanted to be. I can only hope that he too will recognize these similarities and invite me to his home.
