Essays for Professional Schools and Programs

When applying for a professional school or program, a student must submit a sophisticated personal statement to accompany the application.  In addition to explaining why they interested in a particular school or program, applicants must use their essays to reveal something about them that will set them apart from others seeking the same opening. Every student has a story to tell in addition to his or her desire to be accepted into the coveted spot. The essay is a critical part of the process because it presents the admission officers with a clearer perspective as to whether this candidate will be a good fit for the particular program.
