Why I want to major in Marine Science by Jeremy - May 2023 Scholarship Essay
I want to pursue a major in Marine Science in college. I find Marine Science fascinating, because of my love for science and my passion for aquatic life. Biology, chemistry, and physics are some of my favorite classes in high school and subjects that I would like to continue to study. While it's early for me to decide the exact job that I will pursue, I would like to focus on innovation that preserves marine life. As I learn more about the area, through my academic studies, I can narrow down the specific career within Marine Science. I’d imagine that this could result in working for the government or a company focused on marine life. I am currently looking for volunteer opportunities to help me to better understand the possibilities within Marine Science.
My choices are Boston University, the University of Florida, and the University of Miami. These programs are well-suited for a major in Marine Science and are some of the top schools for this discipline. I visited Boston University and was impressed with the campus, atmosphere, and labs. I had the opportunity to speak with several students and faculty members and I felt that I could see myself on this campus. I have also visited both UF and Miami and enjoyed the campuses as well as the Florida weather. I feel that I am prepared to thrive in a larger school and can ask for help when I need it. These three colleges all have top 15 programs in Marine Science so and are in my overall academic range. I would be thrilled if I was able to attend any of the three colleges.
