Writing a letter of Academic Intent


Recommended Posts

I was successful at being accepted to every grad program I applied to last winter....however, I'm sure you can find the grad rep at your institution and ask them to look it over. I followed the following rubric

 

1. A brief paragraph about myself and what lead me to apply to a masters

2. why I was interested in pursuing a specific research topic

3. how I intend researching the topic (theorist I'll build on)

4. The specific names of profs you'd be interested to work with

5. why did I apply to that institution (pretty much just inflate their reputation for research and quality of faculty etc.

 

I found writing a research intent particularly difficult because I had no particular interest. Apparently many other applicants had the same problem...we were advised to take a senior level project and just go with that topic....you don't have to declare your concrete thesis until second semester...

 

hope this helps
