Master’s Statement of Purpose/Essay Service
Take control of the admissions process with the Master’s Statement of Purpose Service, designed to provide you peace-of-mind in knowing that you are delivering an exceptional essay.
This service includes:
- A questionnaire and strategy session. You introduce yourself through our questionnaire, then schedule an in-depth meeting to explore how to best express who you are and what qualifies you for success in your statement of purpose. Together we then brainstorm ideas around key experiences and craft a unique narrative structure that sets you apart from other applicants – all making sure that getting started is as painless as possible
- An outline tailored to your individual needs and goals. Based on the questionnaire and our strategy session, we then come up with a series of prompts to get the writing process started. Past clients have found that this process offers a detailed roadmap for their writing—maximizing efficiency, enhancing quality of the final product, and saving time in the long run.
- Two to four rounds of edits. Your statement of purpose is refined through a dynamic process with myself as your editor. I perform an intensive review, honing in on clarity, grammar, style and word usage – providing you my suggestions for improvements each step along the way. This back-and-forth refinement yields polished results.
