¶ … Graduate School Entrance
Dear Melissa Nicholaus, Taubman Center for Public Policy:
Thank you in advance for your courtesy and for the opportunity to apply for admission to the Taubman Center for Public Policy at Brown University. I appreciate your consideration of my application to become enrolled in your Master's Program in Public Policy. It will truly be an honor to be part of such an august learning environment as Brown University -- a venerable, highly-revered institution that first opened its doors the very year that American Colonists began their organized revolt against the British imposition of the Stamp Act, in 1764, which opened the door to the Revolutionary War.
As for my decision to work towards a Master's Degree in Public Affairs, I currently hold a Bachelor's of Arts in Philosophy from ZZE University; I am proud of the effort I extended during my undergraduate career, which resulted in a 3.91 GPA and a summa cum laude honor at graduation time.

It is my goal that in the workforce, I will be able to move quickly through the managerial ranks. I have the raw talent, but the MBA program will give me finely-tuned skills that will help propel me. I have already demonstrated during the course of my undergraduate career that I have natural leadership ability. I feel that if I were an ordinary individual with ordinary potential, I would not

Economics is one of the basic means of explaining human behavior and the interactions that drive the world. In the center of Edinburgh, there is a statue of Adam Smith. That tells me that when we as economists do an exceptionally good job at explaining our world, we are making a profound contribution. The better we understand our world, the better we can run our world, both on an individual
Graduate School Personal Statement - Chemistry Most of my friends start to yawn when I tell them what kinds of experiments I performed during a hard day's work in the lab.

Graduate School: Criminal Justice An employment announcement in my area residence attracted and dictated my line of education and professional pursuit.
