How To Start a Graduate School Essay?

? Do you commence with a story?

? Do you begin with a reflection on the focus of your forthcoming graduate studies?

? Do you start at the beginning? And where exactly is that?

If you want your graduate essay to grab the attention of the graduate admission representative, then keep reading this article…

The graduate admissions committee is looking for a snapshot of you –
? Where you've been,
? Where you want to go, and
? what you want to do with the degree

Here are three simple tips to start your graduate essays:

1. You should start with a concise academic history of about a paragraph in length.
2. Then use up a paragraph talking about the research that you’ve done (or doing at the time).
3. Then talk about why you wished to go to that school and your career goals and how that particular graduate program would help you meet those.

The statement/essay is also where you would tackle any probable problems, such as an undergrad GPA below 3.0 or a misdemeanor conviction, etc. If you don't have those problems, great. If so, address them.

That is about it really. Your graduate school essay should really just be a summary of your total application...except... you do want to stress how the graduate program fits into your career plans particularly. You will also want to draw attention to the types of research you want to do (or the type of project you want to do for your dissertation/thesis).

When I was helping one of my friends writing graduate admissions essay this year, I divided the graduate essay into 3 parts:

Past, Present, and Future.

In our graduate school, we ask that it be a personal statement, not a story. Basically we ask them to address the following in their statement:

? Why a master's degree?
? Why graduate school now?
? What about your background has led you to this?

You can still grab the attention of the reader by following these concepts. Try to talk conversationally, the way you wrote your question above. A little humor is OK, and you can certainly add in your accomplishments (although I assume they asked for a resume, and that will highlight those...)

Hello friends

Easy graduate school to everyone faces writer's block when it comes time to write the personal statement for graduate school admissions. Often it is beginning that is the main challenge. Once you begin to write all of the pieces will come together and you'll be ok. So how do you begin? Begin anywhere. Too many applicants get toungue-tied at the first sentence of their personal statements. Just how do you start? Worry about the beginning later. You don't have to start writing at the beginning of your essay and work your way through to the end. Begin anywhere it feels right. In fact, I tell my own students to begin with a bullet-point list of the points to be made and then construct the personal statement around those points.
Since the personal statement is your opportunity to stand out, you might begin by talking about the one thing that makes you different from all of the other applicants. Or you might begin by talking about an experience that was important to you. How did you become interested in your discipline? How did you know that you wanted to go to graduate school? Write about some of your activities: why did you start them and what motivates you about them?
Don't feel wedded to what you write, but consider writing as a process in which you can discover what you'd like to include in your essay. Write multiple drafts and you'll find improvement with each draft.
