Hello!

I am from Green River Community College and I am a communications major striving to enter the field of public relations. I work as the advertising manager and the managing editor at my college newspaper and I am a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. As of now, I have 60 credits and I will be getting my AA in the spring. I am applying to attend the UW in the fall quarter.

I chose the UW for numerous reasons: 1) Even though they may be cutting funding from their communications program (As they are with others), they have a great one. I did look into WSU’s program, but they put very little emphasis into their public relations program in comparison. 2) I want to stay close to family, my younger brother specifically. He just moved to Seattle due to family issues and staying close to him will allow me to be there for him. 3) While wanting to stay close to my brother, I want to attend am affordable (and amazing) school. My other options here in Seattle are private schools, and I don’t have the money for them.

I am applying to WSU and WWU along with UW. My second choice would be WWU because their program is pretty good as well. I don’t know much about it though because my concentration has been on UW’s program, and I have tailored my entire college career to getting into UW.

I am still working on my personal statement, so I am taking into consideration all of the advice given to me. Even though I know that I am competing against everyone else who is applying for the fall, I wish you (and them) all the best of luck and I hope to see them there!

Cheers!
