Statement of Purpose

Just in case anyone was interested, here is my statement of purpose. I try to accomplish four things in it.

Third, I describe why and how this particular grad school would allow me to accomplish these goals. And lastly, I close by saying why I am a good candidate. Here it is:

  1. Personal Statements are usually the same for all graduate programs, yes? In regards to Business school I think there asking for a correlation to your reasoning for applying to Business school & how your goals and past experiences will contribute to your success in their Business School.

  2. I agree with Bryan R, Your statement of Purpose states a very strong statements of you being a good candidate. However, it doesn't talk about how and why you can contribute to the business area.

  3. I feel like part of your statement of purpose is telling me how to achieve my goals/steps to success. From my experience, I would not put the word "you" in your essay (i.e: the first sentence in the last paragraph). I also agree though that you put down your reasons of why you're a good candidate and how you found your passion, but that you should include how you can contribute to the business area.
