Sean Martin Admissions Essay

Getting In (how good do your grades have to be, what tests do you need to take and do you need to do, how much does the school cost, how is their financial aid?):
To enter in Emerson college your grades have to be pretty good. 41% of Emerson students graduated in the top ten percent of their high school class. 47% of applicants are admitted and 87% of students return for their sophomore year. This means your grade doesn't have to be high, just average. You need to take the SAT critical reading test, SAT math, SAT writing, and the ACT composite. The cost of the school is about $47,000 dollars per year, this includes tuition and room and board. There is financial aid and they meet 75% need which is good. My rating category for this is 4 stars. I say this because its a easy school to get into. The work might not be challenging. Also there's good financial need and the cost is a little bit to pricey.

Academics (majors the school has, class size, access to professors, special programs, study abroad):
The school has many majors. For example, they include Communications, English, Marketing/Business, Visual & Preforming Arts. The class size is smaller than average colleges. There are 20 students per class and this means there is access to professors. They have special programs such as various clubs. Emerson has a study abroad program in their school. My rating category for this is 4 stars. The good thing about this is that the classes are small and I can get help from the professor.

Student Life (social life at the school, housing, fraternities and sororities, sports):
99% of first year students live on the campus. 55% of undergrads live on campus and in there are co-ed dorms. The campus is in an urban setting. The cost of the housing is about $500 dollars deposit. At Emerson there are Fraternities & Sororities. They are 3rd division in sports. These sports include baseball, basketball, volleyball, etc. Certain clubs that they have are television, newspaper, magazine, and a lot more. If I were to rate this category I would rate it 5 stars. I say this because mainly everyone lives on campus, Also there's many different clubs I can choose from, which is cool.

My comfort level (getting back and forth,demographics, setting):
Emerson College is located in Boston, MA and has over 500,000 pedestrians. It would take 213 miles and 4 hours and 8 min. from my house to the school. At Emerson there are 4% Asian, 3% black, 11% Hispanic, 1% Hawaiian, 60% White, 6% two or more races, 4% non-resident alien. The ratio from Women to Men is 64 to 36. If I were to rate this category I would give it 3 stars. The reason I would give it 3 stars is because its a little bit far from home. Also there's not many people of my racial background. It doesn't really matter much because I would be going to this school to learn or pursue my career.
