Statement

Graduate and professional schools often require some sort of written statement -- often called a "statement of purpose," "personal statement," or "letter of intent"-- as a part of the application. Some statements require rather specific information--for example, the applicant's intended area of study within a graduate field. Still others are quite unstructured, leaving the applicant free to address a wide range of matters. The importance of the statement varies from school to school and from field to field.

Determine your purpose in writing the statement

Usually the purpose is to persuade the admissions committee that you are an applicant who should be chosen. Whatever its purpose, the content must be presented in a manner that will give coherence to the whole statement.

  • Pay attention to the purpose throughout the statement so that extraneous material is left out.
  • Pay attention to the audience (committee) throughout the statement. Remember that your audience is made up of professionals in their field, and you are not going to tell them how they should act or what they should be. You are the amateur.

Determine the content of your statement

Be sure to answer any questions fully. Analyze the questions or guidance statements for the essay completely and answer all parts. Usually graduate and professional schools are interested in the following matters, although the form of the question(s) and the responses may vary:

  • Your purpose in graduate study. Think this through before you try to answer the question.
  • The area of study in which you wish to specialize. Learn about the field in detail so that you are able to state your preferences using the language of the field.
  • Your intended future use of your graduate study. Include your career goals and plans for the future.
  • Your unique preparation and fitness for study in the field. Correlate 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. Explain in a positive manner. Since this is a rebuttal argument, it should be followed by a positive statement of your abilities. In some instances, it may be more appropriate to discuss this outside of the personal statement.
  • Any special conditions that are not revealed elsewhere in the application, such as a significant (35 hour per week) workload 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?" Research the school and describe its special appeal to you.
  • Above all, this statement should contain information about you as a person. They know nothing about you unless you tell them. You are the subject of the statement.

Determine your approach and style of the statement

There is no such thing as "the perfect way to write a statement." There is only the one that best fits you.

DO

  • Be objective, yet self-revelatory. Write directly and in a straightforward manner that tells about your experience and what it means to you. Do not use "academese."
  • Form conclusions that explain the value and meaning of your experience, such as what you learned about yourself and your field and your future goals. Draw your conclusions from the evidence your life provides.
  • Be specific. Document your conclusions with specific instances. See below a list of general words and phrases to avoid using without explanation.
  • Get to the point early on and catch the attention of the reader.
  • Limit its length to two pages or less. In some instances it may be longer, depending on the school's instructions.

DON'T

  • Use the "what I did with my life" approach.
  • Use the "I've always wanted to be a _____" approach.
  • Use a catalog of achievements. This is only a list of what you have done, and tells nothing about you as a person.
  • Lecture the reader. For example, you should not write a statement such as "Communication skills are important in this field." Any graduate admissions committee member knows that.

Interview Paper: Innovation to improve adherence in Hypertensive African Americans
Author's Name
Institution
Introduction
Mobile web applications are novel means of engaging and managing patients (McGillicuddy, Gregoski & Weiland, 2013). Mobile phones can be used in accessing information and in keeping track of patient's adherence management. Mobile technology is cost-effective and efficient (Labow, 2011). For the purposes of this project, MyRefillRx has been chosen as an innovation to improve adherence in hypertensive African American males. MyRefillRx is a novel mobile app and is used for hypertensive patients and their providers. In the app, the user creates an account with personal login details. The app can be used in creating reminders, ordering medications, engaging your doctor and accessing information pertaining to hypertension.
The nurse chosen for this interview is Mrs. Dawkins. Mrs. Dawkins is a registered nurse who has worked in the medical-surgical department for six years. As such, she has a wide experience in the treatment of chronic diseases. Adherence is an imperative concept in the management of these diseases. As such, Mrs. Dawkins can provide valuable insights into adherence practices. Dr. Miller is a private practitioner. She is a family physician. She encounters hypertensive patients on an everyday basis. As such, Dr. Miller is well situated to influence adoption of mobile technology in enhancing adherence. Mr. Gerard has worked in social service for over 15 years. His work involves the elderly and minority groups. He travels extensively; thus he can widely influence the adoption of mobile phone innovation.
Summary of Interview
The nurse
As a nurse, Mrs. Dawkins has used telephone follow-up and messaging services to improve adherence to treatment. These methods have enhanced compliance in evidence gathered from surveys. Nonetheless, such methods have been provider initiated. MyRefillRx is unique in that it will engage the patient and allow self-involvement by the patient. According to Mrs. Dawkins, adoption of such technologies will go a long way in quality improvement and assurance efforts (personal communication, March 14, 2014).
On the technical information, she observes that the app function of learning about high blood pressure in MyRefillRx is important. In the nursing profession, patient education is a cardinal intervention in the workplace. Provision of education in out-patient setup is not comprehensive. She observes that the app function will furnish hypertensive patients with endless education. Nonetheless, she notes that the older generation is relative behind in technology adoption and may fail to use the app due to this. The BP recording feature in the app is noted to be essential in patient management (personal communication, March 14, 2014).
Mrs. Dawkins observes that the implementation of this technology is cheap. When compared to the cost incurred due to complications ...
