The AJY program at Heidelberg University seeks to promote academic, personal and cultural growth. Your essay is a significant
part of your application and a major factor in the selection process. In preparing to write the essay, you should think seriously
about why you have chosen this program, do some background reading, visit the internet, interview faculty and previous
participants, and visit a writing tutor if needed. If you use sources other than your own knowledge and experience, appropriate
documentation MUST be included within the essay document. (Your answers should be approximately 250-300 words for each
of the 4 sections below.)
1. How have your life experiences led you and helped you to prepare for this decision to go abroad? What makes you a good
candidate for the program?
2. Why have you chosen AJY and how does it help you accomplish your goals?
3. In what ways do you think the culture of the country will be the same as the culture of the United States? In what ways do you
expect the culture to be different?
4. How will you prepare yourself for the differences in culture, academics, and so on? How do you think you will be challenged
by these differences?
