Title: Statement of interest - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: A written statement of interest is a crucial standard component of many graduate school applications and is required for graduate school admission. It may be called a "statement of purpose", "statement of intent", "description of research interests" or something similar in nature. Regardless of the way it is called, it provides you with the opportunity to describe to the graduate program admission committee firsthand: • Your specific academic interest (research topic, field, etc). How did you become interested in this field? • How your past education, experiences, achievements have prepared you for the graduate program • Why a program at a university of your choice is the best place for you • What are your career goals? What are your future goals? – PowerPoint PPT presentation
