Statements of Purpose and Technical Writing Graduate Studies.
Subject:Statements of Purpose and Technical Writing Graduate Studies. From:Faith Wallis <fwallis -at- CGN -dot- NET> Date:Tue, 2 Feb 1999 12:55:42 -0600
Hello...
Well, after a year working as a tech writer I have decided to take the
plunge... graduate school.
BUT, I need to write a "statement of purpose" for my application.
While I have many drafts of my SOP, I am just not satisfied.
Do any of you have any advice or examples of good SOPs you might
be willing to share with a soon-to-be graduate student?
Any advice, including advice on the application process or the
GRE, would be very appreciated. Also, any advice on graduate
school itself would be great.
Thanks in advance...
