How to start writing Statement of Interests
Good evening everyone,
I am applying to MArch at UofT, Ryerson, UBC and Laurention University "for now". And that my second time for UofT and Ryerson University. Currently I am writing Statement of Interests for UofT. And I stuck in it. Confusing what to say and how to start.
I have a big and wide imagination brain. Hard to define and write what in mind. I feel like these imaginations could make a change futurity.
Able to read personalities and mind thinking, that what scared me about my self, I have this kind of talent and I would like to use those skills in academic way.
I wrote the first paragraph and I would like to share it with you guys, I would love to see your prospective... Feel free to comment.
1. "Since I was a child, my favorite thing has always been Design"
I can see it is not bad started, but it seems like I can not define my idea or define it in academic way!!
2. "Being academically in your talent that might lead you to scientist way. I decided to pursue my BS.c Arch field abroad"
It is confusing me how to start and what should to write in beginning. I am trying to hook the reader.
What is the scope of writing Statement of Interests?
Respect,
Yazan Akkad
it’s a clusterfuck of terrible English, not to mention that each of those two sentences hit at least 3 clichés that’s guaranteed to fail your admittance.
Obviously English is not a primary language here, but you need to learn how to write, and write well, if you hope to enter graf school.
That is right Non Sequitur, I am working on my weakness at this time. I am happy to heard your opinion..
Yes TOEFL & IELTS are international accredited. One is British and the other is American. I appropriate your support.
holy sweet fuck i hope this is a real post
What do you mean :) ?
Yazan, many international students get into amazing universities. I think it's important you get some help with your writing skills. Perhaps it is a good idea to first write out your statement of interest in your language, and then work with someone to translate it efficiently.
I wish you well!
Go straight forward, simple, clear, but strong expression of your interest and passion. Say your purpose at the beginning, without story-telling narratives. Try to make it like a cover letter, w/o previous experience.
Clarity is the key, the people who reads your letter may not have much time to go though every complex sentences, especially attributive clauses....
children are to innocent to be aware of design. Design is in response to a fucked up world.
