Essay and Statement of Purpose

• Civil Engineering - SOP
• Computer Engineering - SOP

The Statement of Purpose may be the single most important part of your application which will tell the admission committee who you're, what has influenced your job path so much, your professional pursuits and where you intend to go through here.

As the name signifies, the Statement of Purpose is your personal statement about who you are, what has influenced your career path so far, your professional interests and where you plan to go from here. It need not be a bald statement of facts; several successful SoPs address these questions through anecdotes, stories or by describing their hero. But whether your SOP is subtle or to the point, it must be well written to be successful.

This is because the SoP is the only part of your application packet over which you have full control. Your academic and extra-curricular records are in the past. Most people only take one or two shots at the GMAT, GRE or TOEFL, and these scores could be adversely affected by conditions on the test day. It is important to choose recommendation letter writers carefully, but while you hope they give you the best possible recommendation, this is not within your control.

Civil Engineering - SOP

In this essay I outline my academic and extra-curricular accomplishments. Also discussed are my career aims and the motivation to pursue the graduate program in Civil Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

The undergraduate curriculum in Chemical Engineering at UET, Lahore, introduced me to a wide gamut of subjects, both in and outside the field. Various courses like Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena have provided me with a strong footing in the theoretical concepts of Chemical Engineering.
