How to Make Your Letter of Intent Stand Out
How do you write that perfect letter of intent for graduate school?
Your personal statement or letter of intent should be exactly that – personal. Make it exclusively unique to you, highlighting your personal experiences that set you apart from other applicants. Do not be modest. Showcase your research experience, whether it be your undergraduate thesis project, or a summer spent conducting research in an industrial laboratory. Focus on what you have learned from each experience and how your contribution helped expand the knowledge base in the field. Essentially, try to reflect on how this experience has better prepared you for the graduate years ahead! Do not forget to include any leadership, extracurricular, or volunteer experiences that have helped shape your character and pave your path to a graduate degree. Try to think of the translational skills that you gained from each experience and relate them back to your passion for research and your interest in graduate studies.
Additionally, your graduate school letter of intent must clearly demonstrated your motivations for pursuing a graduate degree in your chosen program of study and indicate your career objective.
