<strong>Graduate</strong>​ ​<strong>Admissions</strong>​ ​<strong>Essay</strong>​ ​<strong>Writ<strong>in</strong>g</strong><br />

<strong>Requirements</strong>​ ​In​ ​<strong>2017</strong>-<strong>2018</strong>​ ​<strong>Study</strong>​ ​<strong>Year</strong><br />

Introduction<br />

<strong>Writ<strong>in</strong>g</strong> a ​resume for grad school admission can be quite a bit stressful if you<br />

don’t know where to start. In order to make the process at least somewhat more<br />

enjoyable, we’ve prepared a list of comprehensive graduate admissions essay<br />

writ<strong>in</strong>g​ ​requirements​ ​for​ ​the​ ​study​ ​year​ ​of​ ​<strong>2017</strong>-<strong>2018</strong>:<br />

1.​ ​The​ ​length​ ​of​ ​the​ ​essay<br />

If your school of choice has set a predeterm<strong>in</strong>ed amount of words, then you<br />

should follow the guidel<strong>in</strong>es as specified. Otherwise, 750-1250 words should be<br />

f<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

2.​ ​List​ ​your​ ​academic​ ​achievements<br />

Your ​graduate school admission essay should def<strong>in</strong>itely mention your academic<br />

achievements. In other words, what is your educational background? Have you<br />

ga<strong>in</strong>ed some additional experience <strong>in</strong> the field you’re pursu<strong>in</strong>g elsewhere?<br />

There​ ​are​ ​all​ ​the​ ​th<strong>in</strong>gs​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​mention.<br />

3.​ ​Reveal​ ​your​ ​motivation


Aside from stat<strong>in</strong>g the academic program you’re look<strong>in</strong>g to jo<strong>in</strong>, there are other,<br />

perhaps​ ​a​ ​bit​ ​more​ ​personal​ ​factors,​ ​that​ ​you​ ​should​ ​go​ ​over.<br />

What is the driv<strong>in</strong>g force beh<strong>in</strong>d you want<strong>in</strong>g to take part <strong>in</strong> the academic<br />

program? What are your hidden wishes and desires? Although it’s good to<br />

follow a proper form when writ<strong>in</strong>g the essay, you should avoid sound<strong>in</strong>g<br />

monotonous and un<strong>in</strong>spired at all costs. It’s absolutely f<strong>in</strong>e to show them you’re<br />

a​ ​human​ ​be<strong>in</strong>g!<br />

4.​ ​Expla<strong>in</strong>​ ​your​ ​view​ ​on​ ​education<br />

No ​resume for graduate school admission should be without your views on the<br />

role of education <strong>in</strong> society. This is such an important topic, and if you get this<br />

one right, you can be sure you’re go<strong>in</strong>g to leave a last<strong>in</strong>g impression on the<br />

committee. After all, mak<strong>in</strong>g a last<strong>in</strong>g impression on them and lett<strong>in</strong>g them<br />

know you’re a more suitable choice than the other applicants is the w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />

strategy.<br />

5.​ ​Include​ ​a​ ​personal​ ​statement<br />

Although the ​graduate admissions essay doesn’t particularly require one, this<br />

completely optional attachment could very well make the difference between<br />

you gett<strong>in</strong>g accepted or not, so you should strive to do your best and come up<br />

with​ ​someth<strong>in</strong>g​ ​amaz<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

6.​ ​Other​ ​attachments


It’s a good idea to <strong>in</strong>clude at least three letters of recommendation, probably<br />

more if possible. These should clearly describe the candidate’s work ethic as<br />

well​ ​as​ ​his​ ​or​ ​her​ ​personality​ ​traits.<br />

7. Don’t want to do this on your own? Choose a graduate admissions<br />

essay​ ​writ<strong>in</strong>g​ ​expert!<br />

Let’s face it: ​resumes for graduate school admission are hard to embellish on<br />

your own. Why not work with a qualified essay writ<strong>in</strong>g and grad<strong>in</strong>g expert<br />

who’s go<strong>in</strong>g to help you produce the best work possible? These k<strong>in</strong>d of experts<br />

can either grade your work and help you correct your mistakes, or either f<strong>in</strong>ish<br />

the​ ​whole​ ​th<strong>in</strong>g​ ​so​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​to.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Hopefully, our guidel<strong>in</strong>es have helped you on your way to further<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

academic career. If there is one f<strong>in</strong>al piece of advice we can add, just try to<br />

enjoy​ ​the​ ​process​ ​as​ ​much​ ​as​ ​possible!​ ​It​ ​helps​ ​to​ ​th<strong>in</strong>k​ ​of​ ​it​ ​as​ ​an<br />
