Grad School Essays Samples

Crafting an essay on the subject of "Grad School Essays Samples" can be a challenging endeavor.
The difficulty lies not only in the intricate balance of showcasing your academic prowess, personal
experiences, and future aspirations but also in adhering to the specific guidelines and expectations
set by graduate school admissions committees. The essay demands a delicate fusion of self-
reflection, eloquence, and a persuasive tone that convinces the reader of your suitability for advanced
academic pursuits.

One of the hurdles you might face is the need to navigate a fine line between self-promotion and
humility. While the essay is a platform to tout your achievements, it is equally important to avoid
coming across as arrogant or insincere. Striking this balance requires a deep understanding of your
own strengths and a keen awareness of how those strengths align with the program you're applying
to.

Moreover, the challenge extends to the meticulous research required to tailor each essay to the
unique characteristics of the target institution. This involves delving into the academic offerings,
faculty profiles, and overall ethos of the graduate program. Integrating this information seamlessly
into your essay demonstrates not only your genuine interest but also your ability to contribute
meaningfully to the academic community.

The process also entails grappling with the pressure of creating a distinctive narrative that sets you
apart from other applicants. Crafting a compelling story that not only captures your academic journey
but also highlights your resilience, adaptability, and growth can be intellectually demanding.

However, despite the inherent difficulty, the essay-writing process is an invaluable exercise in self-
discovery and self-expression. It prompts you to reflect on your past, analyze your present, and
envision your future, fostering a deeper understanding of your academic and professional goals.

In conclusion, composing an essay on "Grad School Essays Samples" requires a multidimensional


approach that combines self-awareness, research, and narrative finesse. It's an intellectual challenge
that, when approached with dedication and sincerity, can be a rewarding step toward securing
admission to the graduate program of your choice.

The History Of Bioterrorism
Throughout the progression of mankind, there has always been a need to become
superior in tactics and technology over an opponent. It did not take long for man to
discover the effective and deadly tactic of Bioterrorism, which is the deliberate release
of viruses, bacteria or other germs used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or
plants. As time passes, everything about bioterrorism becomes more and more
sophisticated, making it very difficult to combat with. By examining the history of
bioterrorism, one can learn how military forces utilize this deadly weapon. First we will
discuss the first known utilization of bioterrorism, in the 6th Century BCE. The
Assyrians used Rye Ergot to poison the Israelite s water supply.... Show more content on

Something that Bioterrorists don t always take into consideration is that often their
plans for death and destruction go far beyond the realms that they had planned.
Sometimes their chosen weapon of mass destruction travels past the area that they
wanted and into the rest of the continent. This case is represented in the Siege of
Caffa. In 1346 a Mongolian group called the Tartars attempted to seize the Christian
city of Caffa, only to be immensely struck down with an outbreak of Plague
(bioterrorism.com 3). The outbreak became so detrimental, that bodies literally began
to pile up. As a last resort, the Tartars used their catapults to hurl disease ridden corpses
over the city walls into Caffa, hoping to infect and kill the citizens. Unfortunately, their
plan was very successful, and a deadly outbreak of plague struck the people of Caffa.
However what the Tartars didn t realize was that while the majority of the population
of Caffa died, some escaped on boats and fled to cities all over Europe, taking the
deadly disease with them. It wasn t long after that before the entire European continent
was overwhelmed by Plague. Through this event, it is easy to see how quickly and
simply an incident of bioterrorism can turn into a worldwide catastrophe. During the
French and Indian war (1754 1763), the British were at war with the French over land
disputes. The French made
Bmw Case Study
Case Study: BMW

BMW is the ultimate driving machine. Manufactured by the German company,


Bayerische Motoren Werke
AG, BMW stands for both performance and luxury. The company was founded in 1916
as an aircraftengine manufacturer and produced engines during World War I and World
War II. It evolved into a motorcycle and automobile maker by the mid 20th century, and
today it is an internationally respected company and brand with €53 billion (about $76
billion) in revenues in 2008.
BMW s logo is one of the most distinct and globally recognized ever created. The
signature BMW roundel looks like a spinning propeller blade set against a blue sky
background originally thought to be a tribute to the company s founding days as an

In addition, BMW redesigned its 3, 5, and 7 Series cars, making them unique in
appearance yet remaining exceptional in performance. BMW s full range of cars now
include the 1
Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X3 SUV, X5 SUV, X6 SUV, Z4 (Roadster),
and M. The redesign of the 7 Series, BMW s most luxurious car, targeted a group called
upper conservatives. These wealthy, traditional consumers traditionally don t like sportier
cars, so BMW added an influx of electronic components such as multiple options to
control the windows, seats, airflow, and lights, a pushbutton ignition, and night vision, all
controlled by a point and click system called iDrive. These enhancements were created to
add comfort and luxury and attract consumers away from competitors like Jaguar and
Mercedes.
BMW successfully launched the X5 by targeting upper liberals who achieved success
in the 1990s and had gone on to have children and take up extracurricular activities
such as biking, golf, and skiing. These consumers needed a bigger car for their active
lifestyles and growing families, so BMW created a highperformance luxury SUV. BMW
refers to its SUVs as sport activity vehicles in order to appeal even more to these active
consumers.
BMW created the lower priced 1 Series and X3 SUV to target the modern mainstream, a
group who are also family focused and active but
The Modern Day Political Culture
Examining the modern day political culture of where our society is at and where it is
heading is something that people have struggled with in past history. Take for example
the Germans of the early to mid twentieth century, it is here where the people cannot see
the full context of what is happening in the world and how they were impacting it.
Think of the Romans that were born at the beginning of the fifth century, they would
have no idea that the mighty Roman Empire would cease to exist within one hundred
years. This happens because we cannot predict the events of the near future. However,
by taking a step back and unbiasedly analyzing what is happening in the here and now,
we can get a better look at what our society is and where it... Show more content on

Many of the problems that Marx diagnosed in his time are still prevalent today in
America. One of these broad problems is the gap between the bourgeoise and the
proletariat. Though the economic climate of today s America and yesterday s Russia are
completely different, both share similarities. One of these is seeing the emergence of an
elite, ruling class amongst the masses of everyday commoners. Marx sought to end the
struggle of the common man by leveling the playing field amongst the entire population.
This is needed because we see the elite class working together to keep themselves
elevated above the common people. These interactions amongst the elitists occur across
political platforms. For example, recently the Senate passed a resolution that gives
telecommunication companies the right to sell your browsing history. In a government of
the people, by the people, and for the people, it doesn t make sense why such a bill
would be passed. In what ways does this benefit the common good of the common
man? This bill shows a great violation of Mill s policy of utilitarianism. This bill was
passed to benefit the senators, who received money from the telecommunication
companies, and to benefit these companies who will profit off of the public s browsing
histories. If we compare the fifty senators who received financial support and the
telecommunication companies to everybody else who is having their browsing data
neutralized, we can see how
Magellan s Recovery of a Lost Cause Essay
Magellan the now world famous leader of the voyage that circumnavigated the globe
has died, yet there are eighteen men left continuing on a trip for home. Antonio
Pigafetta is recording the voyage s experiences post Magellan s leadership and must
salvage the remaining crew and ship in the most serviceable way to the King of Spain.
It is 1521 and the Victoria is the only remaining ship of the expedition sailing in what is
now the Philippines searching for islands to commence tradewith, the primary reason
they are on a voyage to circumnavigate the globe in search of a faster trade route than the
commonly used route under Africa. Pigafetta primarily writes about the availability of
food, the willingness to trade by the natives, and some of... Show more content on

This voyage was not focused on trading large quantities of goods, but wanted to acquire
enough to take home. Pigafetta notes the treatment of the explorers by the king such as:
When we arrived at the city, we remained about two hours in the ship un til two
elephants covered in silk came, and twelve men, each with a porcelain jai covered with
silk, to carry our gifts. Then we mounted the elephants, and the twelve men marched
ahead with the jars and gifts. And so we went to the governor s house, where we were
given a supper of divers viands, and at night we slept on cotton mattresses. Later when
speaking with the King of the island they say that they:
And we told him that we were servants of the King of Spain, who desired peace with
him and required no more than to trade. The king caused us to be told that, since the
King of Spain was his friend, he was very willing to be his, and he ordered that we
should be allowed to take water and wood and merchandise at our will.
Pigafetta has now shown that the voyage that although costly so far has found a viable
trade route with food supply along with willing and friendly people. Not all of the
people the voyage has come across have been friendly, as Magellan was killed in a
skirmish. Pigafetta is showing that there are some viable options to successfully create a
new trade route to Asia if more careful interaction with locals is taken on. Based on the
fact that five ships were
A Brief Note On The Ice Bucket Challenge

ALS Research Essay
10/29/14
Physics

When the Ice Bucket Challenge started becoming more and more prominent, and
people were becoming more aware of what exactly ALS (Amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis) is, they began asking: who is someone that is famous that suffers or has
suffered from this disease? Most people s obvious answer is Lou Gehrig, who is a
famous baseball player that succumbed to this disease back in the early 1900s, and
happens to be the other name people refer this disease as. I answered with Stephen
Hawking , and people would give me a bewildered look as if asking me who the heck is
that? I would stare back in absolute shock and little bit of horror, because honestly,
who has not heard of the man that basically theorized black holes and extended
Einstein s idea of general relativity with quantum physics theory. Stephen Hawking,
who is a little less than a god, is arguably the most famous scientist alive today
(Contributions and Achievements) , and I would say that he is definitely one of the
most important scientific figures that has ever been introduced to the human race. This
essay will present Stephen Hawking and dive deep into his life pulling out the smallest
particulars, and then explaining how certain and specific details have made him into
who and what he is today. To start with, here s a brief Stephen Hawking biography.
Stephen William Hawking was born to Frank and Isobel Hawking on January 8, 1942 in
Oxford, United Kingdom.
