趁寒假補上去年的SOP撰寫心得，雖然有點晚，分享出來供需要的人參考

SOP撰寫心得
http://ppt.cc/44T-

申請學校SOP很重要。成績不頂尖的我，百思不得其解為何我會錄取。進去後才知道，我
寫的Career goal正好和該校的強項相關(正中!)。好的SOP帶你進學術殿堂! 完整心得分
享請前往連結，以 PPT檔呈現是想特別強調”experience/ characteristics”, “
career goal” and “program”之間的關聯，這個是第一次寫容易被忽略，卻是讓文章
連貫、凸顯自己特色的關鍵，請享用:)

A brief look is as following. To read more, please go to the above link.
Key points

◎Realize the program you apply as well as your prior experience/
characteristics and your career goal.

◎ Give a detailed description of your prior experience/ characteristics,
career goal and the program.
I.e. summary a fact about the strength of the program or the strength of
yourself
rather than write down adjectives

◎ Write from the past to the future

◎ Distinguish yourself from others

★Do describe your prior experience/ characteristics with details

★ prior experience/ characteristics about 50%; the program and career goal
about 50%

★Do realize the program you apply as much as possible.
I.e. their research fields, curriculum and features/ strength.
This can determine whether you’re qualified for the program,
whether it can help with your future career, and most importantly, whether you
’re admitted.

◎      Arrangement of paragraphs
(1) Introduction:引人入勝的主題(言簡意賅)
(2) Experience/ characteristics
motivation
大學修相關課or為了要念這領域, 做了哪些事情
(3) Program you apply(為什麼要念這間)
(4)Future---career goal
(5) Conclusion--總結並強調本身優勢，表明已經做好準備去念研究所(字數和第一段差
不多)

★Comment:
Avoid emphasizing your poor grades (if applicable), but it’s recommended to
provide an explanation of the poor grades in one sentence. (It's not good
if the committee has a question about your transcript but can't get an
explanation from SoP)
However, DO cover this weakness with your other strength.

★Sample--my SoP
