UC Berkeley transfer essays

Whenever I set my mind to work on a variety of things , I place sufficient importance to each of them and adequately accomplish all of them with strict perseverance . My transcript shows that I have taken several courses in advance and achieved high scores in them . I selected many courses that though are not directly related to my major , are fine sources of knowledge where I was able to learn great lessons

My overall grades are not perfect , but it is worth noting that I earned outstanding 4 .0s in all the major

courses I had taken . It is also significant to see that I took these major courses in advance . I consider my accomplishment valuable because overcoming difficulties in the achievement of relevant knowledge is a foremost necessity in discovering outcomes when I become a researcher . I took a two semester junior course in both `Introduction to Electromagnetism ' and `Engineering Electromagnetics ' during my freshman and sophomore years and acquired A 's on both courses . When I was a sophomore , I also obtained an `A ' taking `Introduction to Quantum and Optical Electronics which was actually a junior level course in the engineering department Furthermore , my interest in lasers led me to take a senior course on lasers where I also gained an `A . These accomplishments gave me not only high scores but also fulfillment with respect to my intellectual curiosity . I developed an ability of finding problems and solving them without adequate background knowledge . As a result , I was awarded scholarships almost every semester

However , my interest wasn 't solely on major course work . I took classes such as `History of Western Art , `Nation and Art , `Philosophical understanding of science and technology ' and the like . I especially enjoyed the art related classes . In `Nation and Art , I presented about Paik Nam Jun who was the renowned founder of video art . I was encouraged because the professor , the first person in Korea who obtained a Ph .D for Korean art philosophy , highly appreciated my work . She so impressed that she asked me for an additional term for her future lecture She gave me the highest score even among the art majors in the class . In my studies , I was impressed with the fact that artists also considered deeply about the notions in physics . For example , Velasquez and Picasso dealt with both space and time together in their art pieces as Einstein did in his theory of Relativity

In conclusion , I feel proud of my accomplishments in both major and non-major activities . During the two and a half years that I spent in the university , I tried to achieve academically with diversity . Pursuing a variety of interests with great passion , I learned many significant things . I realized that by choosing my unusual curriculum , I occasionally understood concepts in physics differently from others . For example , the concept of `beauty ' which I learned in art somehow helped me understand the structure in physics . I believe I could widen my experience even further by...
