Writing an admission essay is an art of itself. The statement letter or the letter of intent is dedicated to make one stand out amongst the other applicants. What is unique about you? What kind of information do you need to put in the short two-three pages?
Summarizing your professional experience and personal values in such short paragraphs can be terrifying. With key elements of understanding what the university wants, this course will use the approach of individual writing assessment based on the essay questions provided by each university. With different sets of eyes, you’ll have editing peers to better your statement.
The essay should convince readers, the faculty’s committee, that you are a perfect fit for the school. Before that, you must know which aspects you want to “sell” to them.
