Who I Am and Why I Am Here


My name is Chun-Yu Lin, and you can call me Cindy. I come from Taiwan. There are three people in my family. My mother is working in an accounting office, my brother is a salesman (he sells Suzuki cars), and I just graduated from Tamg Kang University in June. My major is Computer Science. I am very interested in travel. When I was a university student, I always took trips with my friends in the summer. Actually, nothing makes me special and different from other people. I’m a very ordinary person. I came to the United States because I want to apply to graduate school at the University of Maryland. But now my English is not good enough to apply, so I came here to study English first. I hope my English can improve quickly so I can go to graduate school at the University of Maryland. I think MEI has a test like the TOEFL, and if I pass that, I can begin my studies at UM. I think I will take it, but I don’t know when. I hope MEI can give us this kind of information, and I think I can achieve my dream.

Congratulations on your college graduation! I'd like to know why you chose UM for graduate school. I was surprised to read that you have been to the US before. How long did you live here the first time? Was that in Maryland also?

I am certain that if you study hard and take advantage of every opportunity to use English, you will make excellent progress, so I think you should apply to UM soon, if you haven't already done so!

I will chose UM for graduate school because for some reasons. First, this school is a good school; second, it is convenient to take bus and Metro to go to school from my aunt house; thied, I like Maryland so I don't want to move out from here.

The first time I lived here about nine months and the same lived in Maryland. In that time, I just came here for study English. Because that time I just graduated from senior hish school. And I also lived with my aunt and uncle.

I think I will apply to UM for Spring. I hope I can be accepted from UM. Because I heard some people said that UM is very hard to apply. So wish my dreams come true.

Cindy, check the admissions requirements for your department. Many graduate departments only admit students in the fall semester. Also, the deadline even for fall is likely to be sooner than you think, so you should begin the application process as soon as possible!
