Your purpose in graduate study. This means you
must have thought this through before you try to answer the
question.
The area of study in which you wish to specialize. This
requires that you know the field well enough to make such
decision.
Your future use of your graduate study. This will include
your career goals and plans for your future.
Your special preparation and fitness for study in the field.
This is the opportunity to relate your academic background with
your extracurricular experience to show how they unite to make you a special candidate.
Any problems or inconsistencies in your records or scores
such as a bad semester. Be sure to explain in a positive manner
and justify the explanation. Since this is a
rebuttal argument,
it should be followed by a positive statement of your abilities.
Any special conditions that are not revealed elsewhere in
the application such as a large (35 hour a week) work load
outside of school. This too should be followed with a
positive
statement about yourself and your future.
You may be asked, "Why do you wish to attend this school?" This
requires that you have done your research about the school and
know what its special appeal is to you.
Above all this, the statement is to contain information about
you as a person. They know nothing about you that you don’t tell
them. You are the subject of the statement.
