Personal Statement Graduate School
Some colleges and universities would sometimes call personal statements as either “letter of intent” or “statement of purpose”. As the names imply, the essay should focus on why you intend to enter their institution. It also helps if the reason for choosing the said institution is included. The main goal is to persuade the admissions committee that you are the right applicant for the spot. The importance of the statement made depends on your chosen field of study and the institution you wished to be accepted. It would be an advantage if the statement created catches the readers’ attention on the early part.
