MSU的PS官方格式要求（一）

2013年02月21日來源：美國留學網作者：萬佳留學

我看了申請文書中的PS，怎么覺得有些跟個散文似的？而且寫得老長，人家有些要求500字就夠了，打印出來兩頁不到是最好的，不用寫那長，沒用，人家看著煩。附件里是 MSU的 PS官方格式要求，希望對大家有幫助。其實我想也許每個學校研究生院的網頁上都會有類似的格式要求的，大家勤快點自己去找一找，別自己想當然地寫。

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

A PERSONAL GOAL STATEMENT FORMAT
FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICATION

　　The first paragraph of your personal statement, one or two sentences,
should make clear the purpose of your writing: to present an interpretive summary of your background, academic interests, and future goals as justification for your admission to a program of graduate study.

　　The second paragraph interprets your background for the graduate admissions
committee. This paragraph should establish your academic preparation for the program to which you have applied. If you have been a strong student
throughout your undergraduate years, you may call attention to what you
believe have been strong combinations of courses, which seem to fit your prospective graduate program well. If you have had ups and downs as an
undergraduate, you may call attention to progressive improvement in your
studies: i.e., the difference between your junior/senior GPA and your freshman/sophomore GPA or your record in selected course work that is directly
related to the kinds of course work that you will undertake as a graduate
student. If you scored well on whatever graduate examination that you took, you may want to cite that fact as well.

　　Keep in mind that graduate admissions committees want assurance that you will be a successful student. If you have had relevant experiences, you may
mention them here, too. Some graduate programs such as applied sociology or
social work or resource development, etc. look for evidence that you have already sought out ways to translate your academic background into practical, professionally oriented applications. In short, this paragraph should assure the graduate admissions committee that you have matured during your undergraduate years, that your intellectual and professional interests have taken shape, and that you have begun a conscientious progress toward professional development.
