WRITING A WINNING STATEMENT OF PURPOSE <br>
Before you start, check out the tips below on "Getting Started" <br>
I. Determine your purpose in writing the statement <br>
Usually the purpose is to persuade the admissions committee that you are <br>
an applicant they should choose. You may want to show that you have the <br>
ability and motivation to succeed in your field, or you may want to <br>
show the committee that, on the basis of your experience, you are the <br>
kind of candidate who will do well in the field. Whatever the purpose, <br>
it must be explicit to give coherence to the whole statement. <br>
Pay attention to the purpose throughout the statement so that extraneous <br>
material is left out. <br>
2. Pay attention to the audience (committee) throughout the <br>
statement. Remember, your audience is made up of faculty members who are <br>
<br>
experts in their field. They want to know that you can think <br>
as much as what you think. <br>
<br>
II. Determine the content of your statement <br>
<br>
Be sure to answer any direct questions fully. Analyze the questions or <br>
guidance statements for the essay completely and answer all parts. <br>
<br>
For example: "What are the strengths and weaknesses in setting and <br>
achieving goals and working through people?" In this question there <br>
are actually six parts to be answered 1) strengths in setting goals, <br>
2) strengths in achieving goals, 3) strengths in working through people, <br>
4) weaknesses in setting goals, 5) weaknesses in achieving goals and 6) <br>
weaknesses in working through people. Pay attention to small words. <br>
Notice: This example question says through people not with people, if it <br>
says with people, answer that way. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Usually graduate and professional schools are interested in the <br>
following: <br>
1. Your purpose in graduate study. This means you must have thought this <br>
through before you try to answer the question. <br>
<br>
2. The area of study in which you wish to specialize. This requires that <br>
you know the field well enough to make such decision. <br>
<br>
3. Your future use of your graduate study. This will include your career <br>
goals and plans for your future. <br>
<br>
4. Your special preparation and fitness for study in the field. This <br>
is the opportunity to relate your academic background with your <br>
extracurricular experience to show how they unite to make you a <br>
special candidate. <br>
<br>
5. Any problems or inconsistencies in your records or scores such as a <br>
bad semester. Be sure to explain in a positive manner and justify the <br>
explanation. Since this is a rebuttal argument, it should be followed by <br>
a positive statement of your abilities. <br>
<br>
6. Any special conditions that are not revealed elsewhere in the <br>
application such as a large (35 hour a week) work load outside of <br>
school. This too should be followed with a positive statement about <br>
yourself and your future. <br>
<br>
<br>
7. You may be asked, "Why do you wish to attend this school?" This <br>
requires that you have done your research about the school and know what <br>
its special appeal is to you. <br>
<br>
8. Above all this, the statement is to contain information about you <br>
as a person. They know nothing about you that you don’t tell them. <br>
You are the subject of the statement. <br>
<br>
<br>
Determine your approach and the style of the statement <br>
There is no such thing as "the perfect way to write a statement." <br>
There is only the one that is best for you and fits your circumstances. <br>
<br>
1. There are some things the statement should not be: <br>
Avoid the "what I did with my life" approach. This was fine for grade <br>
school essays on "what I did last summer." It is not good for a personal <br>
statement. <br>
Equally elementary is the approach "I’ve always wanted to be a <br>
__________." This is only appropriate if it also reflects your current <br>
career goals. <br>
Also avoid a statement that indicates your interest in psychology is <br>
because of your own personal psychotherapy or a family member’s <br>
psychological disturbance. While this may have motivated many of us to <br>
go on to graduate study in psychology, this is not what your audience is <br>
necessarily looking for in your statement. <br>
These are some things the statement should do: <br>
It should be objective yet self-revelatory. Write directly and in a <br>
straightforward manner that tells about your experience and what it <br>
means to you. Do not use "academese" or jargon. <br>
It should form conclusions that explain the value and meaning of your <br>
experiences such as: (1) what you learned about yourself; (2) about your <br>
field; (3) about your future goals; and (4) about your career concerns. <br>
<br>
It should be specific. Document your conclusions with specific instances <br>
or draw your conclusions as the result of individual experience. See <br>
the list of general Words to Avoid Using without Explanation listed <br>
below. <br>
It should be an example of careful persuasive writing. <br>
CONSIDERTIONS ABOUT FORM: <br>
Keep to the Page Limit Number!!! Reviewers have to read hundreds of <br>
these applications, don’t overburden them with extra pages. <br>
Do not leave in typographical errors. You don’t want to be taken less <br>
seriously due to a typo, rite? (laugh) <br>
<br>
<br>

GETTING STARTED <br>
EXERCISES: <br>
<br>
A. Recalling and analyzing experience - write short paragraphs on the <br>
following: <br>
<br>
1. Pick a memorable accomplishment in your life. What did you do? How <br>
did you accomplish it? <br>
2. What sort of important activities have you engaged in? With whom? <br>
what role did you play? <br>
<br>
3. What work experiences have you had? What was your job? <br>
responsibility? How did you carry it out? <br>
<br>
Now look over your paragraphs. What skills and qualities do you see that <br>
you possess? For example, consider working with others. Were you a <br>
leader? important "team" player? <br>
Looking at what you have found, you can now look for skills and <br>
qualities that will help you in graduate school. What factors stand out? <br>
<br>
NOTE: You will undoubtedly have more material than you can use. This <br>
is good, but you need to make strategic choices. <br>
B. Your career goals - write two short paragraphs: <br>
1. What career have you chosen? What factors formed this decision? <br>
2. What evidence shows that this is a correct choice? That is, how can <br>
you show that this choice is realistic? (Personal experience in the <br>
field is a good place to begin.) <br>
<br>
-- <br>
Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy <br>
Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed <br>
confidencein Your Ability to work through them <br>
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you under <br>
standing, patience, and renewed strength <br>
Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage!!! <br>
