Back in high school, when I was filling out my college application forms, Economics to me had the same ring to it as did Psychology, or Philosophy, or Biology. The only thing that had set it apart was that it did not end with an inevitable “-ogy”. But four years of being an undergraduate in the solace of the School of Economics has given me a more meaningful impression of this dismal science. And this impression of Economics has certainly made an impression on me.
In the course of completing my Bachelor of Science degree, I slowly came to appreciate Economics for its subtle beauty. I’ve come to admire the way it all comes together from the most fundamental principles; the way theory is in cadence with mathematics in a waltz that still makes sense; and the way the logic discussed inside the classroom can actually be witnessed unfolding in real life, and again and again in the course of history. In this field I have found a discipline I can both enjoy and further discover, which is why I have decided to pursue further studies in Economics.

(In short, please accept me for grad school, pretty please?)
