[align="left"]UCLA[/align][align="left"]; Statement of Purpose(uploaded during the on-line application process)[/align][align="left"]The online Application Form includes a section in which you must upload your "statement of purpose". In other words, you will be required to describe exactly what you wish to study. This statement should be precise and brief (no more than 2 pages in length). It should not be a personal life history; it should contain only such personal details as will aid the Admissions Committee in evaluating your application.[/align][align="left"]Your statement of purpose is a means of helping us match your academic and research interests with those of our faculty. This is very important if you are applying for financial support. Be sure to describe exactly what you wish to study at UCLA -- "ElectricalEngineering", for example, is not specific enough. State what branch of Electrical Engineering interests you, e.g., communications, signal processing,controls, etc.[/align][align="left"] [/align][align="left"]UCLA ECE[/align][align="left"]STATEMENT OF PURPOSE[/align][align="left"] [/align][align="left"]1. Please state your purposein applying for graduate study. Describe your scholarly and research area(s) of interest, experiences that contributed to your preparation in the field, and your plans for your future occupation or profession. Briefly describe experiences that have prepared you for advanced study or research, and provideany additional information that may aid the selection committee in evaluating your preparation and aptitude for graduate study at UCLA. If you are applying for a research masters or doctoral program, you are encouraged to indicate specific research interests and potential faculty mentors.[/align]
[align="left"]UCSB:[/align][align="left"]What is the Statement of Purpose?The Statement of Purpose consists of three parts 1) Statement of Purpose, 2) Personal Achievements/Contributions Statement, 3) Resume/Curriculum Vitae (CV)What is the difference between the Statement of Purpose (SoP) and the Personal Achievements / Contributions Statement?[/align]
  • Statement of Purpose: is a brief statement outlining your reasons for undertaking our graduate program, particular area of specialization within the major field, past academic work and academic goals. You may also include names of UCSB ECE faculty whose research field interests you most.
  • Personal Achievements/Contributions Statement: should describe aspects of your personal background, accomplishments or achievements that you feel are important in your contribution to a diverse population at UCSB. For example, include any economic challenges experienced while achieving higher education, any unusual or varied life experiences that might contribute to the diversity of the graduate group like fluency in other languages, experience in living in bicultural communities, academic research interests focusing on cultural, societal or educational problems as they affect underserved segments of society or evidence of an intention to use the graduate degree toward serving disadvantaged individuals or populations
[align="left"]Statement of Purpose
Give a brief statement outlining your reasons for undertaking a graduate program, your particular area of specialization within the major field, your past academic work, and your plans for future occupation or profession. Also include any additional information that may assist the selection committee in evaluating your preparation and aptitude for graduate study at UC Santa Barbara.
[/align][align="left"]Personal Achievements/Contributions Statement
UC Santa Barbara is interested in a diverse and inclusive graduate student population. Please describe any aspects of your personal background, accomplishments, or achievements that you feel are important in evaluating your application for graduate study. For example, please describe if you have experienced economic challenges in achieving higher education, such as being financially responsible for family members or dependents, having to work significant hours during undergraduate schooling or coming from a family background of limited income. Please describe if you have any unusual or varied life experiences that might contribute to the diversity of the graduate group, such as fluency in other languages, experience living in bicultural communities, academic research interests focusing on cultural, societal, or educational problems as they affect underserved segments of society, or evidence of an intention to use the graduate degree toward serving disadvantaged individuals or populations

[align="left"]UCSD:[/align][align="left"]Statement of Purpose[/align][align="left"]The Statement of Purpose is an important part of the online application and is given careful consideration in the selection process. Be concise and specific in preparing your statement:give information that will aid the selection committee in evaluating your potential for completing a graduate program of study at UCSD. Check the ogs.ucsd.edu for specific content requirements and to verify whether your submission must be made online or is allowed in paper form.[/align][align="left"]The online applicationallows you to upload your Statement of Purpose file. This file must be in PDF format and no larger than 2MB in size.[/align][align="left"]Some departments allow apaper version Statement of Purpose. In this case, use the ogs.ucsd.edu; attach additional sheets if needed. Mail the paper Statement of Purpose directly to the department to which you are applying.[/align][align="left"]Content[/align][align="left"]Focus your Statement of Purpose on the reasons you are interested in attending a specific graduateprogram at UCSD. Check the department requirements for the Statement ofPurpose. The statement should be well organized, concise, and completely free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. Before submitting the statement,seek constructive comments and criticism from friends and advisors.[/align]
  • Five primary topics to cover in your statement of purpose:


    1. How did you become interested in this field? Establish that you have had a long-term interest in the field and that you have taken positive steps in pursuing your interest. Give the committee members a sense of your particular talents and abilities and their relevance to your academic interests.
    2. What experiences have contributed toward your preparation for further study in this field? Demonstrate your interest by providing examples of research experiences, internships, work experience, community service, publications, or life experiences. Briefly describe what you did in each experience. Also, make sure to articulate what you have learned about the field and how those lessons stimulated you to pursue an advanced degree.
    3. What are your future goals? Specifically state your degree objective (Master's or Ph.D.) and specify what subdisciplines you are interested in pursuing. For example, if you are applying in political science, the committee needs to know whether you are pursuing American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, or Political Theory. Let the reader know that you are planning a future career as a university professor, researcher, or consultant, or in public service or private practice (or whatever your goal happens to be).
    4. What are your research interests? Within your subdiscipline, you should be able to identify one or two topics that are of interest to you. When possible, be specific about your research agenda. Remember that you will be working with professors in research; therefore, your research interests should parallel those of the faculty. (You will usually not be expected to know exactly what you want to research; faculty know that initial interests often change.)
    5. How are you a "match" for the program to which you are applying? Explain what attracts you most to the institution/program to which you are applying. Align your research interests with those of one or more of the affiliated professors. The better the "match" with the program/professors, the better the chance that you will be admitted.

    Other factors to weave in (remember these are secondary factors):

    • Give examples of personal attributes or qualities that would help you complete graduate study successfully.
    • Describe your determination to achieve your goals, your initiative and ability to develop ideas, and your ability to work independently.
    • Describe background characteristics that may have placed you at an educational disadvantage (English language learner, family economic history, lack of educational opportunity, disability, etc.).
    • Leave the reader believing that you are prepared for advanced academic work and will be successful in graduate school.
