Top Tips for Writing a Graduate School Personal Statement Pick a few points to emphasize about yourself. Introduce yourself to the admissions board. Be very specific. Do your research. Address any gaps or discrepancies. Strike the right tone. Start strong and finish strong. Proofread, proofread and proofread again.
Connect your area of interest to work being done in the program (mention specific faculty members and projects). Refer to academic publications that have informed your interest (use correct citation as footnote). Mention any publications, presentations or conferences you have been a part of.
When writing your statement of purpose for graduate school, focus on your specific plans and how the graduate program and its faculty will help you meet these goals. Graduate study is not for slackers. It takes focus and determination to pursue an advanced degree.

A statement of purpose typically answers questions such as who you are, why you are interested in this profession or degree, how you will contribute to this graduate school, and how you plan to use your degree in the future. Following your review of the prompt, consider how you wish to respond to the questions.
Remember that a statement of purpose should be between 500 and 1,000 words. If you've written far more than this, read through your statement again and edit for clarity and conciseness. Less is often more; articulate your main points strongly and get rid of any “clutter.”
Please write and upload a 750-1000 word written statement of introduction, interest in the program, and outlines any experience, knowledge or skills you have that would make you successful in the program.
I am confident that pursuing a Master's degree at Name of Institution will be a transformative experience for me both academically and professionally. I am determined to immerse myself in the program fully, collaborate with faculty and peers, and actively contribute to the academic community.
Describe your academic background, preparation, and training Whenever possible, give specific examples and illustrate the points you are making, don't just simply tell them. Research you conducted – project title or focus, research mentor, your specific role, what you learned and the outcome.
