From the Paper
"Since I began pursuit of an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Los Angeles, I have changed my mind regarding my long-term goals and objectives on several occasions. At times, I have been tempted to consider myself a failure and to be overly critical about my ability to determine a career path and then accomplish the things necessary to embark on that path. However, I do agree with Thomas Edison that eliminating wrong choices or false starts can ultimately lead one forward to..."

From the Paper
"There are so many things about study in the UK which appeal to me. One is that the programs are of such high quality, and allow me to specialize easily in the field which is most specific to my needs. In addition, the ability to complete to degree in just one year is especially important to someone like me, who is in mid-career, married and with a child. In addition, I do not want to take a longer sabbatical from my job than I absolutely have to. I am lucky enough to have a job that I truly love. I do not want to lose my position with this company. On the contrary, it is my desire to stay with this company, and bring to my position all that I possibly can. I don't want to be out of the loop too long. Of course, in all honesty I must admit that I also do not want to be too long away from my family, who will wait for me in Vietnam and depend upon me for support."

"I feel that my work as a translator has prepared me to achieve my dream. I enjoy working with words, bringing understanding to people on both sides of a discussion, a contract, or a legal issue. There is a challenge that comes with simultaneous language interpretation and translation of language that makes it appealing to me. I welcome that challenge and feel that I rise to meet it with enthusiasm, accuracy, and professionalism. I feel that a degree from UCLA will help me meet the challenges that I have set for myself in an effort to meet my dream and will help me make that dream a reality."

From the Paper
"Greetings! If you are still wondering about where to go to in college, let me tell you a little bit about our college up in the City University of New York. Brooklyn College, one of the eleven senior colleges of CUNY, is the first public co-educational liberal arts college in the entire city of New York. It was established by the Board of Higher Education of New York in May 15, 1930. And by May next year, we will be celebrating the College's 76th year. But it was only in 1961 that we became one of the member units of CUNY."

Abstract
This admission essay details the author's reasons for wanting to attend Cornell University as well as why he believes that Cornell should admit him. The student, a Chinese-American, describes his virtues and talents and why they would be an asset to the university.

From the Paper
"WHAT I WISHED I HAD DONE IN HIGH SCHOOL....What I DID do was grow up and mature. What I did not get a chance to do was to expand my horizons and get a taste of other cultures and other areas of the world. Not that I am unfamiliar with traditions of China, for example. Both my parents are from China, and from a very early age I was exposed to both American and Chinese cultures through them and their eyes. But, I wanted to experience it for myself. For some high school students, getting to drive a car for the first time, or going out on a date without parents tagging along is a life-long memory. For me, it would have been a chance to see China and meet Chinese people for myself, and not through books or films or TV news magazines, or even through the stories and memories of my parents. I wanted to walk on the Great Wall. I wanted to see Tiananmen Square. I wanted to see the countryside where rivers were being dammed, new farms built up, factories even with American firms' names on them, being built. It was more than wanting to revisit "my" past culture. It was the fact that I was realizing how small the Earth was becoming and that no opportunity should be missed to see things before the completely "globalize"."

Abstract
This paper is an admission essay to Wisconsin University in which the writer explains how he thinks that Rumpelstiltskin story is a great moral in life. He stresses the importance of hard work, family support and sacrifice in order to get what you want. He also claims that the university will benefit from his attendance.

From the Paper
"I was deeply moved by the story of the little man who spun straw into gold. But the material aspect of it, intriguing as it was, was not the source of my captivation. There are plenty of childhood fables touting the magical and mystical. Few also carried the deeper lesson that the seemingly impossible can be achieved, albeit at a price. Inspired by the optimistic concept of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through diligence and hard work, I've managed to turn the straw of my own life into golden experience and tremendous opportunity. The seeds were sewn in my youth that Rumplestiltskin's story serve as a metaphor for my life."

Abstract
The paper presents the student's personal history that led her to apply for admission to medical school at Meharry Medical School and to specialise in OB/GYN and also her future aspirations in this area. The writer describes her childhood in Vietnam and how this affected her choice of career. The paper explains the burdens which led to a lower academic performance than expected and notes that these have now been overcome and present grades are far more indicative of what can be expected from this student.

From the Paper
" In order to truly succeed, you have to be prepared to fail. This notion was not immediately obvious to me when I first arrived in the United States from Vietnam at the age of 18. I felt very out of place as my family and I didn't speak a word of English and were unfamiliar with the customs of the country. I desperately wanted to go to high school and begin my education again, but I was told by several school officials that I was too old to enter the local well-regarded high school. Fortunately, I found an advocate in the local ESL teacher. She stood up for me and convinced the administration that I could prove myself if given the chance, and with her backing I was admitted as a junior. I credit her with teaching me that anything worth achieving is worth risking failure for, even though this concept initially went against my shy nature. She told me that I was in America now and any dream or goal I had for my life was within reach as long as I was willing to work for it."
