Writing a personal statement that will make you and your unique qualities stand out to the graduate school admissions committees is vital, yet challenging. A compelling submission can bring you one step closer to securing a spot at your dream school, while a weak one will hinder your chances. Our goal is to guide you in writing a statement of purpose that will make the schools take notice.
To that end, we have selected a number of strong sample graduate school essays that illustrate how an applicant can effectively transform their qualifications, passions, and experiences into a compelling narrative. These essays showcase the use of a creative voice, vivid examples, and a clear, engaging writing style. Most importantly, they highlight how a well-crafted personal statement can persuade an admissions committee that an applicant is not only qualified but also someone who’d be a beneficial addition to their next class.
Earning a graduate degree can change your life and the entire trajectory of your future. But to earn that coveted letter of acceptance from your dream program, you must submit the strongest, most compelling application you can.
