How To Start a Graduate School Essay?

Published by: maria on Thursday 19th November 2009 10:11am
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...)

The Top 6 Ways to Facilitate Your Dissertation Writing Process

Published by: rosetyler73 on Friday 18th September 2009 05:09am
Dissertation writing is not an easy task and it is extremely challenging for almost all students.  Dissertation writing is the most important part of your degree.  It requires dedication, perseverance, ability to do in-depth research and determination. Writing your dissertation is challenging but not impossible and you should try to facilitate your dissertation writing process by following the guide to writing dissertations:

1.    The most important thing you need to do, when it comes to writing a dissertation, is not to procrastinate at all.  Set up a plan that how you are going to be writing your dissertation and make sure you stick to it.

2.    Idea development is something that can procrastinate your dissertation writing process dramatically.  This is the part where students struggle a lot.  What you need to do now is to write down the topics that you find interesting.  When you are in class or listening to a lecture or reading an article, etc, just write down what you find interesting.  Then you can discuss your ideas with your advisor and fellow students to decide the theme for your dissertation.  However, you must prepare yourself to struggle; it’s not an easy task at all. 

3.    Don’t choose a topic that doesn’t fascinate you.  If you choose a topic that doesn’t fascinate you and you find it difficult then you will never be able to finish writing your dissertation on time.  You will also end up procrastinating.  Writing about something that you find interesting will keep you motivated and focused.  Therefore, choose a topic that you find interesting.

4.    If you need to find out about any particular experience or problem faced by general public and its impact on their lives, then do not limit yourself to your friends and family.  Talk to people you don’t even know and ask them if they faced this problem and what their experiences were.

5.    Ask your friends and fellow students about what you can add to your dissertation.  Discussing your topic with them and getting their valuable tips will enable you to add quality content to your dissertation.

6.    Make sure you stay in touch with your advisor and talk to him whenever you get stuck or feel confused.  If you can only stay in touch with your advisor, you will notice that the motivation you get from him encourages you to stay on track and write your dissertation successfully.

Consider writing a good dissertation to be something extremely fascinating.  I understand that it will be difficult for you to think about your dissertation like this but it will at least keep you calm mentally.  Thinking about dissertation writing as something almost impossible to accomplish, won’t do any good.  First, tell yourself that you can write your dissertation, then follow the tips mentioned in this article, do thorough research and get your degree.
