graduate school applications

The personal statement essay, your opportunity to sell yourself in the application process, generally falls into one of two categories:

1. The general, comprehensive personal statement:

This allows you maximum freedom in terms of what you write and is the type of statement often prepared for standard medical or law school application forms.

2. The response to very specific questions:

Often, business and graduate school applications ask specific questions, and your statement should respond specifically to the question being asked. Some business school applications favor multiple essays, typically asking for responses to three or more questions.

Questions to ask yourself before you write:

What's special, unique, distinctive, and/or impressive about you or your life story?
What details of your life (personal or family problems, history, people or events that have shaped you or influenced your goals) might help the committee better understand you or help set you apart from other applicants?
When did you become interested in this field and what have you learned about it (and about yourself) that has further stimulated your interest and reinforced your conviction that you are well suited to this field? What insights have you gained?

Students at the University of Michigan are among the brightest and most competitive students in the nation. Upon graduation many of them will secure employment with coveted organizations while others will continue their studies at prestigious institutions of higher learning. The ability of UM students and graduates to market themselves successfully and competitively is linked, in part, to the efforts of UM faculty and staff who support their application processes by writing reference letters on their behalf. For some students, possessing a high quality reference letter may be an essential factor in the admission to a school of their choice.

To facilitate the collection and transmittal of reference letters, The Career Center offers a Reference Letter Service and other custom writing services for housing letters for all UM students and graduates. A file of original reference letters is maintained five years from the date the file was opened and letters are forwarded to schools and employers at the file holder’s request. Each year, The Career Center’s Reference Letter Service processes approximately 6,000 new letters and sends 10,000 files to graduate schools and employers. As the official repository of reference letters for all UM students and graduates, we receive numerous inquiries from faculty, Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs), and staff members in regard to legal and ethical issues surrounding reference letter writing and transmittal. Our sustained relationships with graduate and professional schools’ admissions officers and recruiters keep us informed about what these parties expect to read in reference letters. Our consultations with UM General Counsel provide the legal and ethical parameters that should be observed in crafting high quality letters.

These guidelines were written by The Career Center and reviewed by the Office of General Counsel. The Career Center is a unit in the Division of Student Affairs.

Undergraduate Writing Center

There are many campus resources available to students who are looking for help with resumes preparation.

A good place to start is your college's Career Services office. Many offer resume-writing workshops as well as one-on-one help, and have detailed handouts on how to format and shape your resume.

The Sanger Learning and Career Center has a library of resume writing materials that you can browse.

You can visit a consultant at the Undergraduate Writing Center, who can offer one-on-one resume help. They also have many of their handouts posted on their website, and the Virgil Project as a through section on resumes.

All students are also strongly encouraged to attend an Internal Transfer information session. The College of Communication Prospective Student Advisor leads these sessions, and offers some insight into what the committee looks for on an applicant's resume.

“The chief business of the American people is business.” So it was back in 1925 when President Calvin Coolidge offered that now famous aphorism about America’s fevered, overreaching economy in the roaring 1920’s. Coolidge didn’t foresee the coming crash and depression, nor could he possibly have foreseen the degree to which the American business acumen he so admired would come to dominate a global economy by the end of the century.

As we prepare to enter the 21st Century, we live in the age of “Transcendent Capitalism.” Competing systems of controlled economies are in disrepute and full flight, vanquished by that particularly American combination of capital investment, free markets and representative democracy. The United States is enjoying booming equity markets and a robust economy that—despite serious income and wealth inequities—have made fervent believers of a citizenry now invested as never before in stocks and bonds as essay writing companies said.

Earlier in this decade, there was even a burgeoning faith that capitalism alone could solve all ills: The free market system, left unfettered, could feed the poor, shelter the homeless, and provide cheap and easy health care for all. That radical notion is waning, though, and the pendulum is swinging back to a more moderate construct that views American market-based business as a partner with government and public trust institutions—universities, philanthropies, newspapers, etc.—in shaping a strong, equitable society.
