Abstract
This collection of essays is written to gain admission to the MBA program at the University of Maryland. The first essay is a personal history. The writer is from Taiwan, with an undergraduate degree in finance and information systems. The second essay is on leadership, and how leaders need seemingly contradictory set of characteristics. They need to be compassionate and understanding, open minded and flexible; yet at the same time have a strong character and operate without concern for popularity. The third essay explains what the writer would do if given financial security. The writer states that since he feels he already has financial security, he would look for a job that allows him to travel. The fourth essay discusses the writer's volunteer work, and how he used his skills in finance to help with organization. The last essay speaks about why the writer feels he should be admitted to the university, and how his skills and life experience make him suited to the program.
From the Paper
"To prepare to open my own firm in the global marketplace, I will need to do more than simply learn about the technical aspects of the business world. Global trends and problems inextricably affect large-scale businesses. For instance, the global business community must take responsibility for reconciling financial interests with human rights, especially given the exploited workers worldwide. I see my background as a volunteer as an aid in maintaining that insight and moral compass."

Abstract
The paper presents the student's personal history that led her to apply for admission to medical school at Meharry Medical School and to specialise in OB/GYN and also her future aspirations in this area. The writer describes her childhood in Vietnam and how this affected her choice of career. The paper explains the burdens which led to a lower academic performance than expected and notes that these have now been overcome and present grades are far more indicative of what can be expected from this student.
From the Paper
" In order to truly succeed, you have to be prepared to fail. This notion was not immediately obvious to me when I first arrived in the United States from Vietnam at the age of 18. I felt very out of place as my family and I didn't speak a word of English and were unfamiliar with the customs of the country. I desperately wanted to go to high school and begin my education again, but I was told by several school officials that I was too old to enter the local well-regarded high school. Fortunately, I found an advocate in the local ESL teacher. She stood up for me and convinced the administration that I could prove myself if given the chance, and with her backing I was admitted as a junior. I credit her with teaching me that anything worth achieving is worth risking failure for, even though this concept initially went against my shy nature. She told me that I was in America now and any dream or goal I had for my life was within reach as long as I was willing to work for it."

"I feel that my work as a translator has prepared me to achieve my dream. I enjoy working with words, bringing understanding to people on both sides of a discussion, a contract, or a legal issue. There is a challenge that comes with simultaneous language interpretation and translation of language that makes it appealing to me. I welcome that challenge and feel that I rise to meet it with enthusiasm, accuracy, and professionalism. I feel that a degree from UCLA will help me meet the challenges that I have set for myself in an effort to meet my dream and will help me make that dream a reality."

Abstract
This paper is an admission essay to Wisconsin University in which the writer explains how he thinks that Rumpelstiltskin story is a great moral in life. He stresses the importance of hard work, family support and sacrifice in order to get what you want. He also claims that the university will benefit from his attendance.
From the Paper
"I was deeply moved by the story of the little man who spun straw into gold. But the material aspect of it, intriguing as it was, was not the source of my captivation. There are plenty of childhood fables touting the magical and mystical. Few also carried the deeper lesson that the seemingly impossible can be achieved, albeit at a price. Inspired by the optimistic concept of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through diligence and hard work, I've managed to turn the straw of my own life into golden experience and tremendous opportunity. The seeds were sewn in my youth that Rumplestiltskin's story serve as a metaphor for my life."

From the Paper
"WHAT I WISHED I HAD DONE IN HIGH SCHOOL....What I DID do was grow up and mature. What I did not get a chance to do was to expand my horizons and get a taste of other cultures and other areas of the world. Not that I am unfamiliar with traditions of China, for example. Both my parents are from China, and from a very early age I was exposed to both American and Chinese cultures through them and their eyes. But, I wanted to experience it for myself. For some high school students, getting to drive a car for the first time, or going out on a date without parents tagging along is a life-long memory. For me, it would have been a chance to see China and meet Chinese people for myself, and not through books or films or TV news magazines, or even through the stories and memories of my parents. I wanted to walk on the Great Wall. I wanted to see Tiananmen Square. I wanted to see the countryside where rivers were being dammed, new farms built up, factories even with American firms' names on them, being built. It was more than wanting to revisit "my" past culture. It was the fact that I was realizing how small the Earth was becoming and that no opportunity should be missed to see things before the completely "globalize"."
