cat 125 Public Rhetoric, Media, and Autobiography
Write a statement (including but not limited to a statement of purpose/personal statement/artist’s statement) of 2 full pages aimed at a particular audience. You will find it helpful to identify a specific prompt to respond to. For example, you can choose a sample essay question from a graduate school application. Accounting, Econ or Business
A strong introduction and conclusion should engage the reader’s interests clearly and directly. Include specific details that are demonstrations of your expertise (what skills did you bring and develop in the examples), but do not merely summarize work or course experience. You may want to refer to your in-section “what I learned…” exercise for possible ideas to develop. Create a linear narrative (though not necessarily chronological) that leads your reader from where you are now, to what you want to add to their company/graduate program/artistic community/etc. Identify a mutually beneficial relationship between what you can do for them, and how they will help you achieve your goals.
Please use standard fonts and margins, leaving text double spaced.
