From the two universities in my list I am more decided to study in the University of Aberdeen. It is where a lot of characteristics I’m looking for are found, and it also has some characteristics that attract me. However, it also has some disadvantages, but they are not a big obstacle that can stop me from getting in that university.
First, one of the characteristic of the University of Aberdeen that attract me, and that at the same time may be a disadvantage, is its location. The place of its location, even the name of the university says it, is the city of Aberdeen, located in Scotland. The reason that it is in a different continent is one of the thing that call my attention since it is a place that I have never visited, and I have the curiosity to know. But the negative side is that I’m going to be far from the place that I live, which is nothing new. I have live in many places, and for sure I can adapt one more time from the many times I have done it.
A second characteristic that may be an obstacle is the requirements. The University of Aberdeen asks for a SAT score of 1800, and the problem is that my SAT score is 1270. I still have the opportunity and time to prepare and retake the SAT. But one of the advantages is that it doesn’t matter if I don’t get the SAT score the university asks for; the requirement of the SAT can be replaced by showing an ACT score of 27, two SAT Subject Test, or two APs tests. I have done the first AP test, and the next year of school I’m planning to take three others APs test, more if possible.
Third, one of the problems I have is that I am not decided yet to study between computer science and psychology, and it is where another of the advantages of this university comes. In this university I have the opportunity to study the first two years without choosing a career. This gives me the advantage to take classes related to the two careers I’m interested in, and when the time to choose the career arrives I will take a wise decision.
Finally, the University of Aberdeen has two characteristics that attract me: $92.2488 million library and free healthcare. The new library was recently open in this year, 2011. It is big, has lot of books available to students, and has areas to study as a group or as an individual. The second characteristic that attracts me is that the university offers free healthcare for students studying in the university for four years. This gives me
I conclusion, choosing the University of Aberdeen is a good decision. It has the characteristic I’m looking for such as the requirements, and choosing the career after the first two years. About the negative sides, they are no big obstacles; joust putting efforts and working hard can resolve them.
