Personal StatementA desirable career should be the one where people lay their passions and interests，and meanwhile this career should be able to widen their visions， enrich their lives and ultimately fulfill their aspirations to realize life values. The legal profession, I reckon, is the ideal career in line with all my life pursuit. Currently, with my undergraduate study approaching the end, I would like to apply for further study in your LL。

M. program to enrich my knowledge base and build up my critical thinking skills to prepare myself to launch a successful legal career。

My undergraduate study in Minzu University of China has proved to be fruitful and colorful. As a self-motivated student, I have spared no pains to equip myself with specialist knowledge and practical skills。

Thanks to my unremitting efforts， I have built a firm academic grounding about jurisprudence， criminal law， civil law，commercial law and etc， and scored an exemplary average score of 89。

Personal StatementMy name is Lin Chen. I am a normal girl coming from Shandong Agriculture University. I was born in a very small town, and i t’s really not so perfect like some other towns in Shandong, but I still feel proud of it. In my opinion, it is my hometown that makes me become a hard-working girl. My parents are both businessman. They’ve managed a small shop for years.I was admitted to Shandong Agriculture University in September 2009.My specialty is Literature Educational Technology. As a student of The Literature College, I want to be a language teacher after my college study. As we know, talented persons are required in the market, so we must make ourselves to be a person like that. I have already studied in school for four years.During the first year in university, I studied many basic courses related to my specialty ,such as the introduction of the Educational Technology, Literary Theoryand so on. I succeeded to handle some useful softwares like PowerPoint and Word in the following days. I also took part in the student union and tried to show my abilitys. I was interested in drawing and I really make an effort to improve my ability in drawing during that time. So drawing the posters is always my job. Because of my desire of future occupation, I took part in a volunteering activity to teach in a Primary school once a week. The first time I stood on the platform in front of the classroom, I was so nervous that I almost forgot everything I had prepared before. I began to understand if I want to become a teacher,I still need much exercise. After that, I began to take part in some speech competitions to practice myself.The second year in school,I has already known my specialty clearly. I like the courses related to our specialty so much that I also try to learn more after class. On the weekends, I often go to the library to borrow some books, including some professional books and some masterpieces. And in this semester, I was carrying out an extracurricular research project in which my teacher Mrs. Lai is providing some guidance. I was enrolled in this subject with my friends in order to use the software named Flash to develop some funny games which must be attractive and have a sense of education for children in a way. The code of Flash might be not interesting enough, but the productions always made me feel satisfied. In addition, I joined in the studio of photograph and the studio of software. We went out to take photos during the weekends and the festivals. During the other time, I usually stay in the studio to study about the web developing. My other interests include current affairs and sports, such as swimming, tennis and general fitness.My studying time in the college make me meet a lot of excellent persons. I know there is always a long way for me to go. And I will try my best to face the new challenges. Going abroad to study is a good chance to broaden my horizon. I know it is hard to be chosen, but I still want to take a try. I want to catch this precious chance to make myself become a more capable person. And the culture of American has always fascinated me. For all the reasons above, I want to study abroad with strong desire.。

Law Personal StatementI am a person keen on challenges. Law will provide me with the kind of constant challenge I have always craved, while helping me to improve my analytical, practical & communication skills. Also my concern and curiosity about society and its people inspired me to pursue this subject for my higher education, as I believe Law plays an essential role in the changing nature of society.My upbringing has honed my perception of society and people leading me to be acutely aware of social injustice, inequality, exploitation, discrimination, and religious fundamentalism, especially in a society such as the one I come from - Bangladesh. I possess a desire, to struggle if necessary through my life in establishing a society which will be free from exploitation and inequality. As such, I have chosen to study Law, for I believe the proper implementation of Law is the only potent weapon to obliterate injustice. I believe throughout the history of the world, working classes have been deceived by the upper class bourgeoisie and the elites - my ultimate goal in life is to establish the rights of the socially deprived classes. I always have wondered why Law has not been used to raise the voice of the working class, and why it has been used to safeguard the interests of people who are exploiting. I seek a new definition of human rights – the true definition, without exploitation and corruption colouring the notion. My greatest wonder is why our society and the legal system, do not point out economic exploitation as an abuse of human rights; for it is the root of poverty, which elicits crime. If the creation of Law is to curb injustice, why has it not been used to eradicate this injustice? Taking law as a subject for higher education will hopefully help me find answers to my questions, and will teach me the proper method of implementation.I am someone who is passionate to evaluate problems. I am not an extremist but I do not hesitate to resort to radical measures if the situation forces it. I believe, in a society, co-operation is more desired than competition; competition doesn’t necessarily bring rapid prosperity. I adhere to a socialistic political ideology, and aim to devote myself in establishing true socialism. I am from a country, which has been subject to military dictatorship for over twenty years after her independence. My political consciousness grew during the time, when my father was imprisoned by the military just because he was a leader of a political party who opposed military regime. Police and military jointly ran a brutal campaign throughout the country to repress politicians, where they imprisoned and sometimes killed thousands of students, politicians, professionals, workers, and even soldiers. These incidents severely affected my family, making my childhood a turbulent time. After the military regime failed, a western style democratic political structure was set up, which gave nothing, yet increased the discontent of the masses, and created some elites, who virtually control the country. Wealth and power both are centralized to them, law is a puppet in their hand, and they control everything, from economy to politics. Millions of people live below the poverty level, and there is nobody, not one strong and resilient political party to represent them. Extreme form of capitalism has taken over our country’s social and human values, and morality is at the brink of extinction. Corruption is everywhere, human rights abuses are innumerable, political repression is paramount, money is power and power is everything. This indisciplined violent condition of my country created a rebellious nature within me that is why I have set my ambition to restructure the socio-political structure of my country in a radical way. I would like to utilize the knowledge I acquire from my life at university and beyond to clarify and show me theproper way of implementation of my thoughts.I have proved myself as an efficient and responsible student through primary and secondary school, I have been able to maintain and improve my grades, which are consistently good. Currently I am undertaking A’ levels in History, Government & Politics, and Bengali. Being an ambitious and inquisitive person, even after completing a Foundation Programme with an overall A grade, I have chosen to do three A’ levels in one year to study in one of the top British universities. History has always fascinated me; though this is the first time I am studying this subject in detail. In Government & Politics, I am learning about the procedures of law making and the system of politics and government in different countries. Languages have always been of interest to me, and my favoured loyalty is to my mother tongue - Bengali.I have spent my time productively on extra curricular activities. I have keenly taken part in debating, student politics and acting in television dramas. I headed my school’s debating society for one year and independently achieved many prizes in speech competitions at local and national levels. My hobbies include reading, playing cricket and table tennis, web browsing, etc.The principal reason for my desire to study at UK is the quality of teaching here and particularly in my chosen subject, Law.I also find exciting the prospect of joining a university hee with international flavours and exceptional research facilities. I believe University is a place for accumulating more interests, for meeting people, for working hard, for finding a niche in life. I feel I have the commitment and confidence of giving my best during my university career and afterwardsI am currently a senior student at *** University, one of the universities to first accede to the "211 Project" and “985 Project” and ranks in the top 20 universities nationwide. My major, Engineering Mechanics, aims to provide students a solid background on the fundamental theories of mechanics by introducing approaches that allow students to attack engineering problems using a wide range of solutions. Furthermore, majoring in Engineering Mechanics, which is a part of the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, has allowed me to learn a lot and develop a keen interest in planning, which remains a very essential part of the engineering process.The main courses of engineering mechanics consist of modern engineering mechanics, principle and operating system of computer, program design, and software development. I diligently studied every course and achieved excellent academic results. I am ranked at the Top 5 in my department, and have won scholarships and awarded the Outstanding Student Award every academic year.I have tried several times to apply what I have learned in practice during my undergraduate studies. This year, I was fortunate to gain real-life professional experience. Under the guidance of Professor Huang, I was afforded the privilege of taking charge of Experimental Analysis in aproject called “The Classification Threshold in Structural Safety Monitoring and the Research on Life Evaluation of the Nanjing Yangtse River Bridge”. The undertaking was funded by the Shanghai Railway. Through the theoretical analysis of models, pretreatment of the measurement data, and development of the software based on MA TLAB, our team finally obtained the normal values, abnormal values, and alarming values of the indexes such as stress, strain, deflection, and acceleration.In addition to my academic achievements, working for the Student Union and participating in the Sports Games also enriched my vision and cultivated my capacity to think independently and solve various problems. I have extensive interests in travel and photography, and often relax by indulging in them in my spare time. It broadened my understanding of architecture and helped me make up my mind to explore your courses on planning.My academic standing enabled me to get into the graduate school of my university without the need to take the mandatory admission exams. I am determined to study planning at the master's level or a higher degree. I am aware that the externally built environment plays an essential role in the cultural life of communities. Likewise, a series of scientific planning can lead to the improvement of urban centers in order to provide healthy and safe living conditions, efficient transport and communication, adequate public facilities, and aesthetic surroundings. I am interested in the visual arts and want to develop my appreciation for human requirements and natural systems that will allow me to be able to create and sustain habitats for people and other living thingsAs a senior, majoring in English in 我的大学, I would like to be a postgraduate student to have a comprehensive education on 某专业in your university.Like many girls I like singing, reading, and studying languages; I also have my own peculiar hobbies: calligraphy, volleyball, and traveling. Practicing calligraphy helps me calm down whatever has happened and think rationally. I like volleyball in that it can develop my abilities in thinking the problems through independently and solving them. What is more, it has shown me the importance of teamwork. Traveling builds my body and widens my horizons, thus helping to cultivate a habit of overcoming difficulties.I grew up in a city called 我的家乡,which is one of the most important bases of commodity trading in northeast of China but does not have much contract with the outside world. For this reason, although I am very proud of my hometown, I can remember things happening around me, which made me yearn to get touch with the outside world which I have never before seen in my life.Looking back at my four-years’ university life, one of the things of which I am most proud is organizing and holding The First Competition of Ambassadors for Campus (in which the students themselves choose representatives to other universities) when I was a freshman in Department of Social Practice of our Student Union. At that time, there were no similar competitions or campaigns in our area. Nevertheless, we did everything we could do from initially designing the proceedings, confirming places，and looking for sponsors to the subsequent hustings and voting. It was considered a great success! The most important lesson I learned is the importance of excellent communication ability, good understanding of needs of others and an enthusiastic attitude to work, and all above are my advantages. In other words, the work is suitable for me.Moreover，with the rapid development of tourism in China, the demand for the related language-degree person will increase more and more. Not only the enthusiasm and communication ability, but also the abundant specialized knowledge is necessary. Hence I decide to have a comprehensive education in your university considering my career in the future.Last but not least, the reason why I choose this major for my further study is my great interest in International Tourism and Hospitality Management. In my eyes, so many trivia, such as fare, travel, custom and service and so forth, can be in perfect order by the proper management. It is so magic and full of challenge!During the past years, some of my dreams came true while some of them failed, nonetheless, I have a clear sense of what I am going to achieve in life and how I can reach them. Now, I am on my way to a new goal and hopefully, I will reach my dream in your university.Signature: Date:。

I have always had an interest in science-based subjects, especially those relating to biology.Whilst undertaking my A-level Biology course, the module energy and ecosystems was ofparticular interest to me. My interest in the natural world, and study of science encouraged meto further my understanding in this area by applying to study environmental biology at degreelevel. I wish to take this course to enable me to develop scientific skills that will provide me witha greater understanding of the environm ent and factors that affect it. I am also studying Chemistry and Maths at A-level. The practical element of my chemistry course involves an understanding of procedures and precautions necessary throughout all science-based experiments; I feel that this understanding will improve my ability in practical elements of thecourse. After studying A-level maths, I feel being able to interpret numerical data at a high levelwill also enable me to develop my understanding of any numerical information that features i nthe courseI am keen on sports and outdoor pursuits. I have enjoyed a range of activities from countrysidewalks to kayaking and abseiling. Because of this I feel I would particularly enjoy the fieldworkthe course offers. I have been able to combine this interest in sport with a part time job as aleisure attendant at local sport centres. As part of this post I was asked to lead a youth sportsand activities group which aims to promote sport among young people in my area. This activityhas also allowed me to introduce other young people to activities that I have enjoyed. This rolehas also helped me to develop skills that would help me while I am at university. The sportsgroup involves arranging individual sessions as well as trips outThis has improved my organisational skills, which has reflected my ability to combine part-time work with college effectively. Working as part of a team and serving members of the public has also improved my social skills, making me more confident when working with othersI wish to study at university, not only for the knowledge that I will gain from the course, but alsofor the experience of university life has to offer. During my two years at college I haveparticipated in various activities. For example, I represented the college at an open day,volunteered as a collage council representative for my form group, participated in a blooddonation scheme and was also involved in the shoebox appeal. These activities meant that Ihave to be confident, approachable and polite. I feel these are characteristics that will enableme to get involved with student life at universityMy ambition is to participate in conservation work abroad, before gaining experience in acareer based in this area. I feel the experience outlined above and the knowledge I will gainfrom the course will enable me to achieve this ambition.生物2009-10-10 11:22:42 阅读563 评论0 字号：大中小As with science in general, I find it interesting, often fascinating, and I feel that I could gainmuch from studying it at university University has always appealed to me because of thewealth of experiences it has to offer as a student. Although I enjoy English Literature and Chemistry: I am especially keen to study Biology and Psychology. For me, the main appeal of the course lies in the variety of topics that will be covered. The aspects of Biology I find particularly interesting are neuroscience and how the immune system functions and responds.In Psychology, I am very interested in what makes people unique and how different factorsshape our personalityAt present I am employed at McDonald's where within one year of work I got promoted to aFloor Manager. Then I rapidly got promoted as a shift Manager. Being at this position it gives me numerous of responsibilities. For instance I am responsible for the whole resturant,ensuring the good communication flow exists between the crew members, correct procedures are followed, restaurant goals are achieved and ensuring that every customer gets 100%customer satisfactionThis experience especially allowed me to use my interpersonal skills to the full. In my reference, my employer remarked on my willingness to learn, my enthusiasm and initiative aswell as my ability to work independently and as part of a teamI have a variety of hobbies outside school. When time allows, I find playing football, tennis, and listening music, a change from my studies. My other pursuits include more physical activitiessuch as attending the gym, dancing and cyclingAt present, I am putting most of my effort into achieving the best grades in my 'course to allow me to reach the next target in my education. I understand that university life will be very challenging, but I am confident that it will give me the best chance to achieve my potential, andlead the way forward to a successful career. I hope that this application indicates that I am apromising candidate.生物2009-10-10 11:21:41 阅读364 评论0 字号：大中小"Scientists investigate that which already is. Technologists create that which has never been."I chose engineering as a life pursuit because I wish to engage in both. This choice was enhanced by a personal yearning to apply all that I learn; I wanted to be able to implement my physical and mathematical abilities in real life situations. I feel higher education would enableme to realise this aim.Although all aspects of physics and engineering intrigue me, I am particularly interested in the medical application of these two disciplines. When considering which field I might enter Irealised that the only discipline that appealed to me, other than engineering, was medicine.Having researched the crossover between medicine and engineering I decided thatbioengineering provided the perfect blend.In order to improve my grasp of A-level Physics and Mathematics, and develop a better understanding of the options available to me in Higher Education, I have made extensive useof the online lectures of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I was particularly receptive to the teaching methods of the Physics lecturer, Professor Lewin.Supplementary reading has widened my horizons and encouraged me to examine elementsabove and beyond the A-level course. Some of the books I have encountered include 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking and also 'Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland' by Nobel Prize winner, George Gamow. The latter was more than simply 'a physics book' to me - the presentation of the physical principals within a love story proved to be extremely captivating.Following the debate regarding students' declining abilities and the 'dumbing down' of theA-levels I have undertaken a study of material from the older, and in my opinion more challenging, 1996 syllabus. Books such as 'Essential Principles of Physics' by Whelan andHodgson have been particularly enlightening in this respect.I feel that theoretical concepts are easier to understand and more easily absorbed when theyare tangible and therefore I have applied to the Year in Industry scheme, hoping that this will enhance the application of my mathematical and physical skills. Due to personal issues duringthe A-level exam period I was unable to achieve my potential and did not meet all my predicted grades. In order to amend this I have chosen t o retake some modules during my gap year whilst at the same time studying a new subject and expanding my language skills.I consider that my multicultural upbringing, including 12 years in Japan, Dubai and the Sudanhave led to me being a well-rounded and colourful person. As a consequence of this time I benefited by gaining knowledge about different traditions, an insight into diverse cultures, anda furtherance in my linguistic abilities. This granted me the ability to adapt to different environments swiftly and comfortably, which would explain my enthusiasm for meeting newpeople. Moreover, the contrast in the living standards in these different environments hasshown me the importance of science and technology in our lives.Professionals have confirmed for me that bioengineering is an intellectually challenging field, requiring commitment and motivation. I have always believed in fully devoting myself to all thatI do, and with my particular interests and experiences, I feel that only an opportunity to studybioengineering at university will enable me to express my abilities in their entirety.生物个人陈述模板生物2009-09-17 10:32:31 阅读344 评论1 字号：大中小I will never forget my experience of working alongside doctors to fight against the horrible disease, AA, inChina in 200X. This work taught me the great impact of disease control and prevention and motivated meto apply for the biostatistics program at Yale University, with the ultimate career goal of becoming aninfluential professional or researcher in the field. I firmly believe that my constant thirst for knowledge,high regard for the work in the biomedical and public health fields, and my courageousness will drive mygraduate studies and help me achieve personal and professional success.I first became interested in biostatistics when the AA epidemic breakout in China in 200X. As a memberof the University Red Cross Association, I was responsible for assisting the university hospital topublicize disease prevention methods, distribute medicine, and complete health surveys. I learned fromthat process the value of survey dates in supplying useful strategies for disease prediction, preventionand control. Afterward, when I served as Vice President of the Student Union, I organized an introductorylecture and health survey about hereditary disease for the local community. I truly enjoyed thesevoluntary public health services, as I was able to use my knowledge to enhance the quality of life for myfellow man. These achievements gave me the determination to fully devote myself to public healthservices and global health care development.My academic training to this point has provided me with a wide range of general knowledge and skillsrelated to the biological sciences. This training is an excellent first step in preparing for the professionalcareer that I desire. As an undergraduate student in bioengineering at BB University, I acquired a solidfoundation in the theoretical concepts associated with genetics, molecular biology, immunology, andbiochemistry. I also gained knowledge in the several areas of industrial significance, includingbio-products, fermentation, and biotechnology. In addition to the comprehensive studies in my major field,I received as well extensive training in mathematics and computer science, both of which were of greatbenefit to my study of biostatistics, an important area in various industrial and scientific research efforts.For example, as I learned during my summer internship as an Assistant Researcher at the DDPharmaceutical Company in 200Y, biostatistics has a vital role in the development and marketing of newmedicines, in the control of the quality of products, and in the tracking of consumer trends, attitudes andpurchases. I have also worked as an undergraduate research assistant for a map-based cloning projectin the ZZ Biology Center, where I used statistical methods to develop WW genetic markers and tocalculate the probabilities of recombination. These hands-on training activities gave me a clearerunderstanding of and a deeper insight into the biostatistics of biological and clinical problems.I look forward to furthering my knowledge of biostatics at Yale University. Indeed, I believe that Yale’s dynamic environment coupled with the emphasis placed on both statistics theory and real-life biologicalissues in the biostatics program will prepare me well to stand out in future competition. Therefore, mywell considered decision to choose your program will certainly help me realize my dreams. I am confidentthat with Yale’s beneficial guidance and training, I will be well on the way to becoming a notedprofessional in the area of public health.bioengineering personal statement生物2009-09-16 23:43:57 阅读228 评论0 字号：大中小1. Tough memories played a key role in my decisionI am determined to pursue graduate studies engineering in a large part because both of mygrandmothers died because the hospitals did not have the facilities to give them prompt diagnosis andeffective treatment. My paternal grandmother suffered from cancer, but he doctor did not know it wascancer until was already to late. A few years later, m y maternal grandmother passed away because of asudden heart attack. To this day, my mother’s words at her funeral till echo in my ears:“If only she could wear a portable monitor for heart disease, and if only there was a portable cardiac pacemaker in theambulance.”On the strength of my strong performance in the 1994 National University Entrance Examinations, I wonacceptance into the Tsinghua University, China’s top engineering school. Without any hesitation, I choseto major in biomedical engineering in its Department of Electrical Engineering. In making that choice, Ihoped that, one day, I could be more of a help to patients than doctors, since a doctor treats patients oneat a time, but the more effective medical devices I develop can help many peopl e all the time.2. My solid academic recordWith a clear objective in my mind, I made myself a “gifted student” recognized by the department. In myclass of 32 students, I was consistently a top student. My GPA for basic courses was 3.75/4.0 and myGPA for specialized courses was as high as 3.87/4.0. In my second year in Tsinghua University, myacademic ranking and comprehensive ranking were both the highest in my class, and I was awarded thefirst ranking excellent student scholarship that year. I was particularly strong in mathematics and physics,which I took as fundamental to every branch of science and technology.3. My independent research abilityAs a recognized gifted student, I was one of the first students in my year to be given the opportunity oftaking part in actual research. In July 1996, I joined the research group for biomedical instrumentationand signal processing, led by Professor Cheng Jiajie, a noted Chinese term EEG signals. A joint projectbetween Professor Cheng and the National Research Center for Engineering and Technology onAppliance for Medical Treatment and Health Care, the system was to consist of two sub-systems. Onewas for sampling and recording the EEG and other physiological signals, and the other was for reviewingand analyzing the signals. I was involved in the development of both.I first built a double-T band-stop filter network for ultra-weak signals to serve as an essential part of theEEG hardware. As brain waves are extremely weak signals, only from tens to hundreds microvolt, thewhole system, including the filter network, had to meet extremely stringent standards. I designed thecircuit and its components meticulously. After painstaking efforts, I successfully set up the filter network.After that, professor Cheng assigned me to perfect the clinical EEG software in recognition of mycomputer skills. In a Windows-based EEG review and analysis software system, I integrated variousfunctions of automatic and manual data scrolling, annotation, grouping, montage, blo ck marking, datadiscarding and transferring into diskette, filter design and filtering, compress spectrum array, brainelectrical activity map, power spectrum estimation, twelve quantity EEG analysis and statistics. Thiscleared away a major hassle for doctors working in the hospitals. The software system also adoptsbackground data loading and re-sampling of data while displaying to speed up the scrolling process andreduce the doctors’ waiting time.Through this project, I was solidly trained in independent research, much more so than most of myclassmates.4. Extracurricular activitiesI was a good student not just because I studied well but also because I actively involved myself in avariety of activities. In these activities, I not only honed my leadership and communication skills but alsoacquired a pioneering spirit and the ability to do teamwork.For much of my undergraduate studies, I served as a member of the student union council. In 1995 and1996, I was elected the monitor of my class. Under my leadership, my class was chosen “A Class ofGood Academic Atmosphere”, a designation given to only the best group of students. To take advantage of my leadership and communication skills, the department appointed me a counselor to first-yearstudents in the school year between September 1996 to July 1997. In this position, I advised thefreshmen on the choice of courses and adaptation to the university life.Interested in the cultural and recreational activities, I helped to organize, in 1995, the Firs t Beijing OperaCompetition in Tsinghua University. In December 1996, I organized and participated in making the firstmusic video for our class as our contribution to the department’s art festival, and it won a second prize.What I like to emphasize is that I was one of the founders of the Biomedical Club in our department. Thepurpose of it is to spread knowledge and exchange ideas in the rapidly developing biomedical world.During the past three years, we successfully fulfilled our goal by means of regular seminars as well asvisits to various academic institutions and hospitals.I became even more active in extracurricular activities after m third undergraduate year. In January 1997,I went on a trip to ShenZhen, China’s first and most successful “special economic zone”, as part of a social investigation group. The far-reaching economic and technical reforms taught me a lot outside mydiscipline. From June to August 1998, u worked in the IBM China Research Laboratory on localizationand system testing for IBM WorkPad Chinese Applications. It was an extraordinary experience for me. I not only tested myself in real research, but also I learned about advanced technology and thinking.During this time, I attended the IBM Research Summer Jam 98, which was an event for IBM Research’s supplemental and summer student employees to get together and explore the future of computing. Mycreativity displayed in this Summer Jam won acclaim from IBM Senior Vice President Dr. Paul Horn.I believe that the team spirit, communication skills and other qualities I acquired in thee activities will beconducive to advanced research in an American university.5. Solid command of EnglishAlthough not an English major, my English proficiency is comparable to that of English majo rs in Chineseuniversities, as demonstrated by my high grades in both TOEFL and GRE. I do not just know the English language well. I can communicate as effectively in English as I do in Chinese. I believe that goodcommunication and writing skills are indispensable to a successful researcher or engineer. My TWEscore is 5.5, which is especially high for Chinese students, and my oral English is good, too, as I havemany a chance to talk with my parents’ foreign colleagues and exchange different ideas and inf o rmationwith them when they come to China. I will take TSE this October and I am confident that I will get anotherhigh score.6. Why I decide to pursue my study abroad?Although studying in Tsinghua University has solidly grounded me for an engineering career, I have forlong felt the urgency and responsibility to study abroad. From my personal experience, I realize, franklyspeaking, that China’s biomedical engineering is not yet developed enough. I remember that, inSeptember 1997 when I went to Beiji ng Recovery Center for “social investigation”, I found all theadvanced recovery and nurse appliances displayed and used there were made abroad and the expenses were too high for ordinary people. To give you another example, the EEG system currently made i nChina for clinical use requires electrode check-up before operation. This always brings patients suffering because the nurses have to rub the electrode heavily on their scalp for about half an hour for ideallocation. One day, a professor there brought us an EEG system imported from California, U.S.A. Thissystem not only solves the old problem, but also sets up a new detecting function for brain’s cognitionability.From these and other things, I know that the United State has the advanced technology an d thus theoriginal ideas, but China has quality researchers like me who can learn to do as well. I feel that I have nottaken the full advantage of my intellectual capabilities. I wish to pursue more advanced studies and thenimprove my country’s biomedic al situation. Only by doing this can I feel better when I recall my childhoodmemories, memories of my grandmothers dying needlessly. Only by doing this can I fulfil my ultimate aimdinary people correct and timelyto make biomedical appliances part of everybody’s life, to help provide ortreatment and care for their illness.I have inherited from my parents’ intellectual qualities. My father, a professor of Physics at the BeijingUniversity, and my mother, a senior engineer of Physics with the Chinese academy of Sciences. Havebestowed on me the character of diligence, resolution and perseverance as well as the ability tounderstand new things quickly. They have both been to several universities in U.S.A. as visiting scholars.So when I was young, I had some knowledge of universities in United States. My older brother pursuedhis graduate studies in MIT, where he obtained a Master of Science Degree in physics in 1992 and a Ph.D. in the Division of Health Sciences and Technology in 1996. By realizing his achievement, he has givenme tremendous encouragement and confidence because I know that I am as excellent as he is.7. I think Cornell University is an ideal place for me.Graduate studies should be both intellectually exhilarating and challenging. But to decide whichuniversity to attend is one of the biggest decisions in one’s life. Keeping these in mind, I consider Cornell University as my First Choice. A world-famous top-notch university, Cornell has a world-class faculty, advanced research facilities and a stimulating academic atmosphere, all very conducive to thedevelopment of my potential into actual ability. If I am accepted, I will Instrumentation and Diagnostics aswell as Biomedical Mechanics. My solid academic foundation, independent research ability and strongbackground in biomedical engineering and related subjects, coupled with my determination and strongsense of responsibility, have paved the way for me to undertake advanced studies at an institution ofhigher learning like yours.生物学个人陈述生物2009-09-07 08:36:18 阅读224 评论0 字号：大中小Why should I select biology as my career? Born in a medical family for generations, I was very interested in all over around, especially in living organisms and I came into a habit of watching, touching, feeling and protecting them who become my favorite friends later. Life science is much more intriguing and fascinating to me when I made endeavor to represent Shandong Province 400,000 high-school students to go to Beijing to take part in the National Biological Olympic Context, a Pick-Out for the International Biological Olympic Context. As a result, I selected Biotechnology, the foremost interesting field in Biology, as my college major when I won acceptance into Department of Biotechnology in the College of Life Science at Peking University, the best university of China.Upon acceptance to Peking University in 1996, I was awarded consecutive scholarships for all 4 years in college. During my college years, with the systematic education, I obtained a solid academic background in chemistry and basic biology science especially in experiment skills as a preparation forfuture advanced research, which is also, the basis for me to do my current research project at the lab.Due to my outstanding experiment skills, in the third year of my undergraduate study, I was recommended to the State Key Lab of Microbial Resource, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science, which only 2% the students can get in, to do research on the structure and character of a new family of DNA-Binding Protein from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae(extreme environment). And independently I have been dedicating in the interaction between DNA and DNA-Binding Protein by Gel Retardation Assay, Nick Closure Assay and EMSA. This project provided mewith not only considerable experiment experience including bacterial culture, expression of recombinant, and western blotting etc, but also how to plan an experiment, by consulting papers, seeking optimal conditions and selectingappropriate methods. Now my partners and I have made a great achievementnserved DNA-Binding Proteinof this project and we have a paper, “A Highly Cofrom the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae Affects DNA Supercoiling in a Temperature-Dependent Fashion”, which will be published inthe NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH(4.488) in the nearer future.Furthermore, I have once, as a co-operator, helped other group investigate Archaeon ssh7 DNA binding protein and DNA interaction. With the experiment process, I am proficient in PCR and RT-PCR, southern and northern blotting,cell in-situ blotting, CsCl density gradient centrifuge, expression of recombinant protein, FPLC, protein purification and protein/enzyme activity assay, etc.In addition to academic studying and lab training, I benefit much from my college life. I joined the Green Life Association, one of the best student organizations in Peking University, and had been the minister of propagationfor one year. The job has deepened my love for lives and improved my responsibility both for group and for the well-being of our earth. Moreover, allthe many-sided pleasant experiences and excellent records are a great treasure to me, giving me high confidence and independence.Why to go abroad to pursue Ph.D.? I’m always thinking that the research of life sciences is not only interdisciplinary but also international. Besides the advanced technology, I hope to fuse the analytic way of the east and west. SoI’d like to go abroad for advanced studies after my graduation in July of 2000.And besides, it is to make more research achievement in the life science andat the same time, fulfill my keen dream of standing on the foremost frontline inbiology science. Why to choose your University as my graduate school? It isthat she is one of the most highly regarded universities in the world and is anideal place for ambitious youth. Why to select your program? With my experiment skills and broad academic background, I am more and more certain that I am well prepared for the further exploration into your respected program, which is very promising in the modern biology. Despite the highly competition of your admission, I still regard your research program as myfuture struggling goal.At the time being, I think I am honest, intelligently mature and psychologically ready for this goal and I believe that I can accept the challenge and will surely make success in the end. Would you accept me as one of the members of your program to fulfill my dream? I hope I can contribute my strength and intelligence to your program. You are sure to find that your investment on me is really awarding and worthwhile.Sincerely yours,Yunfei Wen。

普林斯顿大学指导The personal statement for law school is a document that law school Admissions Committees read with great interest. The more effective personal statements tend to be in the form of anecdotal, personal histories which lead the reader to believe the writer might be an interesting and valuable addition to the new class. Contrary to what you may have heard, law schools DO read the personal statement. It is an important piece of your application materials.What is a personal statement?It is the story of you. Before we get into content of the essay it is important to be aware of, or at least have some guidelines about, the purpose of the essay. The following are some components that the personal statement must fulfill:▪The essay represents you in lieu of an interview with an Admissions Officer. Law schools typically do not grant interviews (the exception is Northwestern). Even if you are willing to incur the expense of travel and lodging, law school Admissions Deans will not schedule interviews - law schools are simply not staffed to handle thousands of interviews.That said, your personal statement speaks to the Admissions Committee on your behalf.▪The essay is a writing sample. As such, it must be free of grammar and punctuation errors.What you write will reflect how well you express yourself in a clear and concise manner.In the competitive reading of literally thousands of personal statements, conciseness, interest, and uniqueness are major virtues.▪The essay demonstrates your ability to craft an argument, an important skill in law school.Resist the impulse to tell the Admissions Committee everything about you. Or, to write your essay in a paragraph form of your resume. Convey your ideas creatively and back them up with evidence or accomplishments.▪While it is important to respond to each law school’s application instructions on what is requested in the personal statement, the requirements are generally such that one essay may be used for most law schools. The usual required length is 500 words - two pages, double spaced.What should I write about?In a word, you. The Admissions Committee will have your transcript, GPA, and LSAT score (your “numbers”), resume, and application. What they don’t have is a sense of who you are. Often, the personal statement is what makes one application be selected for admission over other candidates with equal, or better, “numbers.”Try to think of your application as a whole and how an Admissions Committee would view it. Can you spot any issues or areas that should or could be further addressed? Address such issues clearly and make your argument convincing; summon facts and present them in a clear, organized, and convincing manner. For example, if your interest is public sector law it makes perfect sense that your personal statement support this by writing about your experience(s) in the non-profit arena. Personalize your essay by telling a story about yourself.Despite what many law school applications will instruct regarding the personal statement, you do not have to write the entire essay about why you want to go to law school. (Admissions Deansknow you want to go to law school –they have your application in front of them! What they don’t know is who you are as an applicant to law school.)Sample Personal Statement Topics:▪Something about which you are passionate, such as a sport or volunteer activity▪An experience that resulted in intellectual or emotional growth▪ A challenge that you not only met but surpassed▪Your academic interests and researchDOs a nd DON’TsDO be concise. Law School Admissions Committees read literally thousands of these statements, so an economy of phrase is appreciated. Can a sentence or two be cut without compromising your meaning?DO be relevant. Your statement should convey information which the reader doesn't have. That information should be about you. Writing about things you have no personal knowledge of or things which have happened to others tend to be non-personal, generally undercutting the purpose of a “personal” state ment.DO be diligent in your attention to detail. Unfortunately, Admissions Committees look for easy things to reject personal statements like misspellings, typos, and poor grammar.DON'T be theoretical. For example, an essay on “law is the fabric that holds society together” or “the value of law to a civilized society” is usually playing to an audience/committee of admissions deans and law professors, so your effort may come off as naïve (obviously not your intent). Writing about something the committee doesn't know (like yourself) is more likely to be impressive (obviously that is your intent!). Remember, this is not an academic exercise to demonstrate some newly acquired knowledge; it's a personalization of your application.DON'T use quotes and DON’T title your statement. Quotes are usually the ideas of others, and often presage a theoretical discussion, which, as stated above, is best to avoid. In fact, more than a few law school Admissions Deans have made specific mention on how quotes set their teeth on edge, especially when they occur in the first sentence. The “theme” of your statement should come through to the reader(s) without having to title it.DON’T use the personal statement to explain a low GPA or LSAT score. Include a separate “supplemental statement” to explain the reason for a semester of poor grades or the fact that you historically do not do well on standardized tests. This information is important for the Admissions Committees to receive, but not in your personal statement.范文I am a person keen on challenges. Law will provide me with the kind of constant challenge I have always craved, while helping me to improve my analytical, practical & communication skills. Also my concern and curiosity about society and its people inspired me to pursue this subject for my higher education, as I believe Law plays an essential role in the changing nature of society.My upbringing has honed my perception of society and people leading me to be acutely aware of social injustice, inequality, exploitation, discrimination, and religious fundamentalism, especially in a society such as the one I come from - Bangladesh. I possess a desire, to struggle if necessary through my life in establishing a society which will be free from exploitation and inequality. As such, I have chosen to study Law, for I believe the proper implementation of Law is the only potent weapon to obliterate injustice. I believe throughout the history of the world, working classes have been deceived by the upper class bourgeoisie and the elites - my ultimate goal in life is to establish the rights of the socially deprived classes. I always have wondered why Law has not been used to raise the voice of the working class, and why it has been used to safeguard the interests of people who are exploiting. I seek a new definition of human rights – the true definition, without exploitation and corruption colouring the notion. My greatest wonder is why our society and the legal system, do not point out economic exploitation as an abuse of human rights; for it is the root of poverty, which elicits crime. If the creation of Law is to curb injustice, why has it not been used to eradicate this injustice? Taking law as a subject for higher education will hopefully help me find answers to my questions, and will teach me the proper method of implementation.I am someone who is passionate to evaluate problems. I am not an extremist but I do not hesitate to resort to radical measures if the situation forces it. I believe, in a society, co-operation is more desired than competition; competition doesn’t necessarily bring rapid prosperity. I adhere to a socialistic political ideology, and aim to devote myself in establishing true socialism. I am from a country, which has been subject to military dictatorship for over twenty years after her independence. My political consciousness grew during the time, when my father was imprisoned by the military just because he was a leader of a political party who opposed military regime. Police and military jointly ran a brutal campaign throughout the country to repress politicians, where they imprisoned and sometimes killed thousands of students, politicians, professionals, workers, and even soldiers. These incidents severely affected my family, making my childhood a turbulent time. After the military regime failed, a western style democratic political structure was set up, which gave nothing, yet increased the discontent of the masses, and created some elites, who virtually control the country. Wealth and power both are centralized to them, law is a puppet in their hand, and they control everything, from economy to politics. Millions of people live below the poverty level, and there is nobody, not one strong and resilient political party to represent them. Extreme form of capitalism has taken over our country’s social and human values, and morality is at the brink of extinction. Corruption is everywhere, human rights abuses are innumerable, political repression is paramount, money is power and power is everything. This indisciplined violent condition of my country created a rebellious nature within me that is why I have set my ambition to restructure the socio-political structure of my country in a radical way. I would like to utilize the knowledge I acquire from my life at university and beyond to clarify and show me the proper way of implementation of my thoughts.I have proved myself as an efficient and responsible student through primary and secondary school, I have been able to maintain and improve my grades, which are consistently good. Currently I am undertaking A’ levels in History, Government & Politics, and Bengali. Being an ambitious and inquisitive person, even after completing a Foundation Programme with an overall A grade, I have chosen to do three A’ levels in one year to study in one of the top British universities. History has always fascinated me; though this is the first time I am studying this subject in detail. In Government & Politics, I am learning about the procedures of law making and the system of politics and government in different countries. Languages have always been of interest to me, and my favoured loyalty is to my mother tongue - Bengali.I have spent my time productively on extra curricular activities. I have keenly taken part in debating, student politics and acting in television dramas. I headed my school’s debating society for one year and independently achieved many prizes in speech competitions at local and national levels. My hobbies include reading, playing cricket and table tennis, web browsing, etc.The principal reason for my desire to study at UK is the quality of teaching here and particularly in my chosen subject, Law. I also find exciting the prospect of joining a university hee with international flavours and exceptional research facilities. I believe University is a place for accumulating more interests, for meeting people, for working hard, for finding a niche in life. I feel I have the commitment and confidence of giving my best during my university career and afterwards。

I have always had an interest in science-based subjects, especially those relating to biology. Whilst undertaking my A-level Biology course, the module energy and ecosystems was of particular interest to me. My interest in the natural world, and study of science encouraged me to further my understanding in this area by applying to study environmental biology at degree level. I wish to take this course to enable me to develop scientific skills that will provide me witha greater understanding of the environment and factors that affect it. I am also studying Chemistry and Maths at A-level. The practical element of my chemistry course involves an understanding of procedures and precautions necessary throughout all science-based experiments; I feel that this understanding will improve my ability in practical elements of the course. After studying A-level maths, I feel being able to interpret numerical data at a high level will also enable me to develop my understanding of any numerical information that features inthe courseI am keen on sports and outdoor pursuits. I have enjoyed a range of activities from countryside walks to kayaking and abseiling. Because of this I feel I would particularly enjoy the fieldwork the course offers. I have been able to combine this interest in sport with a part time job as a leisure attendant at local sport centres. As part of this post I was asked to lead a youth sports and activities group which aims to promote sport among young people in my area. This activity has also allowed me to introduce other young people to activities that I have enjoyed. This role has also helped me to develop skills that would help me while I am at university. The sports group involves arranging individual sessions as well as trips outThis has improved my organisational skills, which has reflected my ability to combine part-time work with college effectively. Working as part of a team and serving members of the public has also improved my social skills, making me more confident when working with othersI wish to study at university, not only for the knowledge that I will gain from the course, but alsofor the experience of university life has to offer. During my two years at college I have participated in various activities. For example, I represented the college at an open day, volunteered as a collage council representative for my form group, participated in a blood donation scheme and was also involved in the shoebox appeal. These activities meant that I have to be confident, approachable and polite. I feel these are characteristics that will enableme to get involved with student life at universityMy ambition is to participate in conservation work abroad, before gaining experience in a career based in this area. I feel the experience outlined above and the knowledge I will gain from the course will enable me to achieve this ambition.Personal Statement Sample - biology生物2009-10-10 11:22:42 阅读563 评论0 字号：大中小As with science in general, I find it interesting, often fascinating, and I feel that I could gain much from studying it at university University has always appealed to me because of the wealth of experiences it has to offer as a student. Although I enjoy English Literature and Chemistry: I am especially keen to study Biology and Psychology. For me, the main appeal of the course lies in the variety of topics that will be covered. The aspects of Biology I find particularly interesting are neuroscience and how the immune system functions and responds. In Psychology, I am very interested in what makes people unique and how different factorsshape our personalityAt present I am employed at McDonald's where within one year of work I got promoted to a Floor Manager. Then I rapidly got promoted as a shift Manager. Being at this position it gives me numerous of responsibilities. For instance I am responsible for the whole resturant, ensuring the good communication flow exists between the crew members, correct procedures are followed, restaurant goals are achieved and ensuring that every customer gets 100%customer satisfactionThis experience especially allowed me to use my interpersonal skills to the full. In my reference, my employer remarked on my willingness to learn, my enthusiasm and initiative as well as my ability to work independently and as part of a teamI have a variety of hobbies outside school. When time allows, I find playing football, tennis, and listening music, a change from my studies. My other pursuits include more physical activitiessuch as attending the gym, dancing and cyclingAt present, I am putting most of my effort into achieving the best grades in my 'course to allow me to reach the next target in my education. I understand that university life will be very challenging, but I am confident that it will give me the best chance to achieve my potential, and lead the way forward to a successful career. I hope that this application indicates that I am apromising candidate.Personal Statement - Bioengineering生物2009-10-10 11:21:41 阅读364 评论0 字号：大中小"Scientists investigate that which already is. Technologists create that which has never been."I chose engineering as a life pursuit because I wish to engage in both. This choice was enhanced by a personal yearning to apply all that I learn; I wanted to be able to implement my physical and mathematical abilities in real life situations. I feel higher education would enableme to realise this aim.Although all aspects of physics and engineering intrigue me, I am particularly interested in the medical application of these two disciplines. When considering which field I might enter I realised that the only discipline that appealed to me, other than engineering, was medicine.Having researched the crossover between medicine and engineering I decided thatbioengineering provided the perfect blend.In order to improve my grasp of A-level Physics and Mathematics, and develop a better understanding of the options available to me in Higher Education, I have made extensive use of the online lectures of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I was particularly receptive to the teaching methods of the Physics lecturer, Professor Lewin.Supplementary reading has widened my horizons and encouraged me to examine elements above and beyond the A-level course. Some of the books I have encountered include 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking and also 'Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland' by Nobel Prize winner, George Gamow. The latter was more than simply 'a physics book' to me - the presentation of the physical principals within a love story proved to be extremely captivating.Following the debate regarding students' declining abilities and the 'dumbing down' of the A-levels I have undertaken a study of material from the older, and in my opinion more challenging, 1996 syllabus. Books such as 'Essential Principles of Physics' by Whelan and Hodgson have been particularly enlightening in this respect.I feel that theoretical concepts are easier to understand and more easily absorbed when they are tangible and therefore I have applied to the Year in Industry scheme, hoping that this will enhance the application of my mathematical and physical skills. Due to personal issues during the A-level exam period I was unable to achieve my potential and did not meet all my predicted grades. In order to amend this I have chosen t o retake some modules during my gap year whilst at the same time studying a new subject and expanding my language skills.I consider that my multicultural upbringing, including 12 years in Japan, Dubai and the Sudan have led to me being a well-rounded and colourful person. As a consequence of this time I benefited by gaining knowledge about different traditions, an insight into diverse cultures, anda furtherance in my linguistic abilities. This granted me the ability to adapt to different environments swiftly and comfortably, which would explain my enthusiasm for meeting new people. Moreover, the contrast in the living standards in these different environments has shown me the importance of science and technology in our lives.Professionals have confirmed for me that bioengineering is an intellectually challenging field, requiring commitment and motivation. I have always believed in fully devoting myself to all thatI do, and with my particular interests and experiences, I feel that only an opportunity to studybioengineering at university will enable me to express my abilities in their entirety.生物个人陈述模板生物2009-09-17 10:32:31 阅读344 评论1 字号：大中小I will never forget my experience of working alongside doctors to fight against the horrible disease, AA, in China in 200X. This work taught me the great impact of disease control and prevention and motivated me to apply for the biostatistics program at Yale University, with the ultimate career goal of becoming an influential professional or researcher in the field. I firmly believe that my constant thirst for knowledge, high regard for the work in the biomedical and public health fields, and my courageousness will drive my graduate studies and help me achieve personal and professional success.I first became interested in biostatistics when the AA epidemic breakout in China in 200X. As a memberof the University Red Cross Association, I was responsible for assisting the university hospital to publicize disease prevention methods, distribute medicine, and complete health surveys. I learned from that process the value of survey dates in supplying useful strategies for disease prediction, prevention and control. Afterward, when I served as Vice President of the Student Union, I organized an introductory lecture and health survey about hereditary disease for the local community. I truly enjoyed these voluntary public health services, as I was able to use my knowledge to enhance the quality of life for my fellow man. These achievements gave me the determination to fully devote myself to public healthservices and global health care development.My academic training to this point has provided me with a wide range of general knowledge and skills related to the biological sciences. This training is an excellent first step in preparing for the professional career that I desire. As an undergraduate student in bioengineering at BB University, I acquired a solid foundation in the theoretical concepts associated with genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry. I also gained knowledge in the several areas of industrial significance, includingbio-products, fermentation, and biotechnology. In addition to the comprehensive studies in my major field, I received as well extensive training in mathematics and computer science, both of which were of great benefit to my study of biostatistics, an important area in various industrial and scientific research efforts.For example, as I learned during my summer internship as an Assistant Researcher at the DD Pharmaceutical Company in 200Y, biostatistics has a vital role in the development and marketing of new medicines, in the control of the quality of products, and in the tracking of consumer trends, attitudes and purchases. I have also worked as an undergraduate research assistant for a map-based cloning project in the ZZ Biology Center, where I used statistical methods to develop WW genetic markers and to calculate the probabilities of recombination. These hands-on training activities gave me a clearer understanding of and a deeper insight into the biostatistics of biological and clinical problems.I look forward to furthering my knowledge of biostatics at Yale University. Indeed, I believe that Yale’s dynamic environment coupled with the emphasis placed on both statistics theory and real-life biological issues in the biostatics program will prepare me well to stand out in future competition. Therefore, my well considered decision to choose your program will certainly help me realize my dreams. I am confidentthat with Yale’s beneficial guidance and training, I will be well on the way to becoming a notedprofessional in the area of public health.bioengineering personal statement生物2009-09-16 23:43:57 阅读228 评论0 字号：大中小1. Tough memories played a key role in my decisionI am determined to pursue graduate studies engineering in a large part because both of my grandmothers died because the hospitals did not have the facilities to give them prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. My paternal grandmother suffered from cancer, but he doctor did not know it was cancer until was already to late. A few years later, my maternal grandmother passed away because of a sudden heart attack. To this day, my mother’s words at her funeral till echo in my ears:“If only she could wear a portable monitor for heart disease, and if only there was a portable cardiac pacemaker in theambulance.”On the strength of my strong performance in the 1994 National University Entrance Examinations, I won acceptance into the Tsinghua University, China’s top engineering school. Without any hesitation, I chose to major in biomedical engineering in its Department of Electrical Engineering. In making that choice, I hoped that, one day, I could be more of a help to patients than doctors, since a doctor treats patients one at a time, but the more effective medical devices I develop can help many people all the time.2. My solid academic recordWith a clear objective in my mind, I made myself a “gifted student” recognized by the department. In my class of 32 students, I was consistently a top student. My GPA for basic courses was 3.75/4.0 and my GPA for specialized courses was as high as 3.87/4.0. In my second year in Tsinghua University, my academic ranking and comprehensive ranking were both the highest in my class, and I was awarded the first ranking excellent student scholarship that year. I was particularly strong in mathematics and physics, which I took as fundamental to every branch of science and technology.3. My independent research abilityAs a recognized gifted student, I was one of the first students in my year to be given the opportunity of taking part in actual research. In July 1996, I joined the research group for biomedical instrumentation and signal processing, led by Professor Cheng Jiajie, a noted Chinese term EEG signals. A joint project between Professor Cheng and the National Research Center for Engineering and Technology on Appliance for Medical Treatment and Health Care, the system was to consist of two sub-systems. One was for sampling and recording the EEG and other physiological signals, and the other was for reviewing and analyzing the signals. I was involved in the development of both.I first built a double-T band-stop filter network for ultra-weak signals to serve as an essential part of the EEG hardware. As brain waves are extremely weak signals, only from tens to hundreds microvolt, the whole system, including the filter network, had to meet extremely stringent standards. I designed the circuit and its components meticulously. After painstaking efforts, I successfully set up the filter network.After that, professor Cheng assigned me to perfect the clinical EEG software in recognition of mycomputer skills. In a Windows-based EEG review and analysis software system, I integrated various functions of automatic and manual data scrolling, annotation, grouping, montage, block marking, data discarding and transferring into diskette, filter design and filtering, compress spectrum array, brain electrical activity map, power spectrum estimation, twelve quantity EEG analysis and statistics. This cleared away a major hassle for doctors working in the hospitals. The software system also adopts background data loading and re-sampling of data while displaying to speed up the scrolling process andreduce the doctors’ waiting time.Through this project, I was solidly trained in independent research, much more so than most of myclassmates.4. Extracurricular activitiesI was a good student not just because I studied well but also because I actively involved myself in a variety of activities. In these activities, I not only honed my leadership and communication skills but also acquired a pioneering spirit and the ability to do teamwork.For much of my undergraduate studies, I served as a member of the student union council. In 1995 and 1996, I was elected the monitor of my class. Under my leadership, my class was chosen “A Class of Good Academic Atmosphere”, a designation given to only the best group of students. To take advantage of my leadership and communication skills, the department appointed me a counselor to first-year students in the school year between September 1996 to July 1997. In this position, I advised the freshmen on the choice of courses and adaptation to the university life.Interested in the cultural and recreational activities, I helped to organize, in 1995, the First Beijing Opera Competition in Tsinghua University. In December 1996, I organized and participated in making the first music video for our class as our contribution to the department’s art festival, and it won a second prize.What I like to emphasize is that I was one of the founders of the Biomedical Club in our department. The purpose of it is to spread knowledge and exchange ideas in the rapidly developing biomedical world. During the past three years, we successfully fulfilled our goal by means of regular seminars as well asvisits to various academic institutions and hospitals.I became even more active in extracurricular activities after m third undergraduate year. In January 1997, I went on a trip to ShenZhen, China’s first and most successful “special economic zone”, as part of a social investigation group. The far-reaching economic and technical reforms taught me a lot outside my discipline. From June to August 1998, u worked in the IBM China Research Laboratory on localization and system testing for IBM WorkPad Chinese Applications. It was an extraordinary experience for me. I not only tested myself in real research, but also I learned about advanced technology and thinking. During this time, I attended the IBM Research Summer Jam 98, which was an event for IBM Research’s supplemental and summer student employees to get together and explore the future of computing. My creativity displayed in this Summer Jam won acclaim from IBM Senior Vice President Dr. Paul Horn.I believe that the team spirit, communication skills and other qualities I acquired in thee activities will beconducive to advanced research in an American university.5. Solid command of EnglishAlthough not an English major, my English proficiency is comparable to that of English majors in Chinese universities, as demonstrated by my high grades in both TOEFL and GRE. I do not just know the English language well. I can communicate as effectively in English as I do in Chinese. I believe that good communication and writing skills are indispensable to a successful researcher or engineer. My TWE score is 5.5, which is especially high for Chinese students, and my oral English is good, too, as I have many a chance to talk with my parents’ foreign colleagues and exchange different ideas and information with them when they come to China. I will take TSE this October and I am confident that I will get anotherhigh score.6. Why I decide to pursue my study abroad?Although studying in Tsinghua University has solidly grounded me for an engineering career, I have for long felt the urgency and responsibility to study abroad. From my personal experience, I realize, frankly speaking, that China’s biomedical engineering is not yet developed enough. I remember that, in September 1997 when I went to Beijing Recovery Center for “social investigation”, I found all the advanced recovery and nurse appliances displayed and used there were made abroad and the expenses were too high for ordinary people. To give you another example, the EEG system currently made in China for clinical use requires electrode check-up before operation. This always brings patients suffering because the nurses have to rub the electrode heavily on their scalp for about half an hour for ideal location. One day, a professor there brought us an EEG system imported from California, U.S.A. This system not only so lves the old problem, but also sets up a new detecting function for brain’s cognitionability.From these and other things, I know that the United State has the advanced technology and thus the original ideas, but China has quality researchers like me who can learn to do as well. I feel that I have not taken the full advantage of my intellectual capabilities. I wish to pursue more advanced studies and then improve my country’s biomedical situation. Only by doing this can I feel better when I recall my chil dhood memories, memories of my grandmothers dying needlessly. Only by doing this can I fulfil my ultimate aim to make biomedical appliances part of everybody’s life, to help provide ordinary people correct and timelytreatment and care for their illness.I have inherited from my parents’ intellectual qualities. My father, a professor of Physics at the Beijing University, and my mother, a senior engineer of Physics with the Chinese academy of Sciences. Have bestowed on me the character of diligence, resolution and perseverance as well as the ability to understand new things quickly. They have both been to several universities in U.S.A. as visiting scholars. So when I was young, I had some knowledge of universities in United States. My older brother pursued his graduate studies in MIT, where he obtained a Master of Science Degree in physics in 1992 and a Ph.D. in the Division of Health Sciences and Technology in 1996. By realizing his achievement, he has givenme tremendous encouragement and confidence because I know that I am as excellent as he is.7. I think Cornell University is an ideal place for me.Graduate studies should be both intellectually exhilarating and challenging. But to decide which university to attend is one of the biggest decisions in one’s life. Keeping these in mind, I consider Cornell University as my First Choice. A world-famous top-notch university, Cornell has a world-class faculty, advanced research facilities and a stimulating academic atmosphere, all very conducive to the development of my potential into actual ability. If I am accepted, I will Instrumentation and Diagnostics as well as Biomedical Mechanics. My solid academic foundation, independent research ability and strong background in biomedical engineering and related subjects, coupled with my determination and strong sense of responsibility, have paved the way for me to undertake advanced studies at an institution ofhigher learning like yours.生物学个人陈述生物2009-09-07 08:36:18 阅读224 评论0 字号：大中小Why should I select biology as my career? Born in a medical family for generations, I was very interested in all over around, especially in living organisms and I came into a habit of watching, touching, feeling and protecting them who become my favorite friends later. Life science is much more intriguing and fascinating to me when I made endeavor to represent Shandong Province 400,000 high-school students to go to Beijing to take part in the National Biological Olympic Context, a Pick-Out for the International Biological Olympic Context. As a result, I selected Biotechnology, the foremost interesting field in Biology, as my college major when I won acceptance into Department of Biotechnology in the College of Life Science at Peking University, the best university of China.Upon acceptance to Peking University in 1996, I was awarded consecutive scholarships for all 4 years in college. During my college years, with the systematic education, I obtained a solid academic background in chemistry and basic biology science especially in experiment skills as a preparation for future advanced research, which is also, the basis for me to do my current research project at the lab.Due to my outstanding experiment skills, in the third year of my undergraduate study, I was recommended to the State Key Lab of Microbial Resource, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science, which only 2% the students can get in, to do research on the structure and character of a new family of DNA-Binding Protein from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae(extreme environment). And independently I have been dedicating in the interaction between DNA and DNA-Binding Protein by Gel Retardation Assay, Nick Closure Assay and EMSA. This project provided me with not only considerable experiment experience including bacterial culture, expression of recombinant, and western blotting etc, but also how to plan an experiment, by consulting papers, seeking optimal conditions and selectingappropriate methods. Now my partners and I have made a great achievement of this project and we have a paper, “A Highly Conserved DNA-Binding Protein from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae Affects DNA Supercoiling in a Temperature-Dependent Fashion”, which will be published in the NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH(4.488) in the nearer future.Furthermore, I have once, as a co-operator, helped other group investigate Archaeon ssh7 DNA binding protein and DNA interaction. With the experiment process, I am proficient in PCR and RT-PCR, southern and northern blotting, cell in-situ blotting, CsCl density gradient centrifuge, expression of recombinant protein, FPLC, protein purification and protein/enzyme activity assay, etc.In addition to academic studying and lab training, I benefit much from my college life. I joined the Green Life Association, one of the best student organizations in Peking University, and had been the minister of propagation for one year. The job has deepened my love for lives and improved my responsibility both for group and for the well-being of our earth. Moreover, all the many-sided pleasant experiences and excellent records are a great treasure to me, giving me high confidence and independence.Why to go abroad to pursue Ph.D.? I’m always thinking that the research of lif e sciences is not only interdisciplinary but also international. Besides the advanced technology, I hope to fuse the analytic way of the east and west. So I’d like to go abroad for advanced studies after my graduation in July of 2000. And besides, it is to make more research achievement in the life science and at the same time, fulfill my keen dream of standing on the foremost frontline in biology science. Why to choose your University as my graduate school? It is that she is one of the most highly regarded universities in the world and is an ideal place for ambitious youth. Why to select your program? With my experiment skills and broad academic background, I am more and more certain that I am well prepared for the further exploration into your respected program, which is very promising in the modern biology. Despite the highly competition of your admission, I still regard your research program as myfuture struggling goal.At the time being, I think I am honest, intelligently mature and psychologically ready for this goal and I believe that I can accept the challenge and will surely make success in the end. Would you accept me as one of the members of your program to fulfill my dream? I hope I can contribute my strength and intelligence to your program. You are sure to find that your investment on me is really awarding and worthwhile.Sincerely yours,Yunfei WenBiology - Personal Statement生物2009-09-07 08:35:52 阅读238 评论0 字号：大中小By applying your Ph. D. program, I am seeking to fulfill a dream in my childhood, to be a great scientist. This dream encouraged me to read a lot of books on many disciplines, since my primary school time. Although my parents had to work abroad much of the time from then on and had no time to look into my study, I had never been slack, for the dream gave me a pressure to do my best in study.In the meanwhile, my talent in mathematics helped me excel my classmates and gain outstanding grades. Besides my excellent grades in school, I won remarkable scores in various contests in Beijing and a few national contests on mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. Moreover, from 1993 to 1998, I won the Shupin Scholarship several times based on my excellent score.When I was in high school, I came to realize the great potential of life sciences. As we all know, mankind can go up to outer space or down to the bottom of the ocean, and predict the movement or state of a huge planet or an infinitesimal particle. Yet we can’t explain a lot of phenomena about ourselves or various lives around us, because lives are the most complicated systems in the world. I am sure that to explain these phenomena is what a great scientist should do, and just what I wish to do.Therefore, when I was about to take the National College Entrance Examination, I chose the college of Life Sciences in Peking University, the most famous university in China, which is dubbed as China's Harvard by President Clinton on his visit to my country. In the university, I studied at the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, which required its students to have a great ability to learn and research. With the study of a series of courses, I obtained a solid academic background in chemistry and basic biology. At the same time, I learned many skills of both general chemistry experiments and specialized biology research. From lab courses, I experienced all kinds of experiments for DNA, protein and microbe’s research and analysis.However, I realized that I need more practical experience before I step on the way to be a scientist. To enhance my research ability, I have been working as a research assistant since July 2000 in the Laboratory of Molecular Virology & Bioengineering at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for a project on the regulation of cotton fertility in plant heterosis, which is part of the National High Technology Research & Development Program (the “863 Program”), and have got great progress in the work of clone, absence and analysis of promoter’s function on the specific expressed gene in。

个人陈述Personal Statement（英文版一）编者按：am the applicant Lin Hao, coming from Heilongjiang Province, northeast of China. Long-term shivery climate here enables me ... am the applicant Lin Hao, coming from Heilongjiang Province, northeast of China. Long-term shivery climate here enables me to forge tough and staunch personalities during my growing up. In 2003, with flying colors, I was matriculated in Jilin University, a celebrated one in China with the major of International Economics and Trade. Besides, I minor in Futures Investment & Management. The university I study at is a comprehensive one with all kinds of disciplines. University life not only makes me get overall development in study methods and specialized knowledge, but also, more importantly, enhances my ability to combine the knowledge of all disciplines and desire for knowledge. Hence, I am determined to pursue further study in UK upon my graduation. Now, I would like to apply for MSc in International Finance & Economics offered by University of Loughborough.Family is quite important for every one, for it is the first classroom for us to receive education. My grandfather once was a banker. My father is a businessman while my mother is a statistic practitioner. All of them play a significant role in the establishment and development of my view of life and view of value; in the meantime, they help me form the personalities of honesty, diligence and perseverance. Edified by them, I show a keen interest in finance-concerned courses. My family is vital wealth in my whole life, for it endows me with such interest in this field and personality of striving forward bravely.Through specialized study, my great interests in courses related to economics and finance are ignited. I once read Doctor David Friedman’s The Economics of Everyday Life, in which, he adopts popular and easy-understood cases and flexibly combines obscure economic principles with people’s daily lives. Through reading the book, I had a good mastery of principles of economics, which were boring to others. I admired Doctor David Friedman very much. In the same year, I read Price Theory, a representative work of him. Through studying this book, I fell in love with knowledge regarding currency and finance. Driven by thirst for knowledge, I began to minor in Futures Investment & Management. During that period, I met a good teacher, that is, Professor Lv, who is a prestigious scholar in China’s futures industry. Professor Lv combined theories of futures market with practice and connected truth with futures market, which was regarded as a gambling establishment by others, imparting knowledge about futures market and economic investment to us. Such teaching mode coincided with my studying habits, so I involved myself in the study quickly. We often discussed the development of China’s f utures industry as well as price fluctuation of world’s futures market. In the autumn of 2005, I was invited to assist Professor Lv in completing part of research work of The Revealing of Yen’s Development Route to RMB’s Development in the project of The E stablishment of China’s Financial Futures Market. Owing to my outstanding performance, I won commendations from Professor Lv.On top of specialized study, I set up the first Leukaemia Love Volunteer Association of our university in Jilin Province in my freetime, acting as Chairman. We have helped 10 leukaemia patients, who are from poor families, through the way of love volunteer activities. Every year, we hold lectures concerning leukaemia and organize volunteer signing up activity of CMDP (Chinese Hematopoietic Stem Cell Warehouse) and activity of extraction of blood samples at our university. Over the three years, under my leadership, the association has been developed and we have made great achievements, so many medias report our deeds. In October 25, 2004, Xinhua News Agency reported our activities on its website (/news/2004-10/25/content_3094593.htm). In addition, our deeds were also reported on the third issue of East, West, South and North • Undergraduates, a famous magazine of students in China, in 2006. All these honors fully revealed the confirmation of the society and our university. Now, one of 150 volunteers in CMDP are developed by our association. Our association was appraised as Elaborate Association of Jilin University in the successive three years and I myself won the title of T op 10 Students of The First Moving Jilin University of our university. Meanwhile, by means of founding volunteer association, not only my view of value is actualized, but also my organizational ability is forged. As a result, my qualities are greatly uplifted. Aside from these, I also have a liking for sports activities, good at dashing, football, etc. The youth should be full of vitality.。

个人陈述英文范文什么样的个人英文陈述范文可以让自己脱颖而出?下面是店铺给大家整理的个人陈述英文范文，供大家参阅!个人陈述英文范文1My interest in international Affairs was derived from my intention of facilitating the communications between cultures. In my opinion, the different cultures’ involvement in international affairs is closely related to the flawed cultural integration hence some bad relations. With four years of university life in Hong Kong, where eastern and western cultures conflict and integrate at the same time, I deeply understood the positive effect of harmonious international relations and the severe consequences of cultural misunderstandings. As a result, I have made my mind to devote myself to prompting the cross-cultural communications while eliminating the stereotypes and misunderstandings. To be specific, I would love to become a writer, a translator or an editor who works as a bridge, connecting people and their cultures.With my ardent interest in cross-culture communications and international studies, plus the ambition of alleviating misunderstandings, I chose the major of Translation and Interpretation in undergraduate at City University of Hong Kong. Being self-disciplined, independent and highly-motivated, I strived to equip myself as best as I could. In addition to the harsh training and practice at school, I also spent my spare time exploring extra-curriculum books in various fields, aiming to enlarge my knowledge scope and widen my horizon. My dedication paid off as I got relatively remarkable grades for most courses, especially communication related ones, such as an A forTranslation for the Media, an A- for Theory of Translation, an A- for Advanced Consecutive Interpretation (English to Putonghua), etc. In the past few years, my GPA for the core courses was 3.33 (overall: 3.22).Apart from academic performance on campus, I took a few internships which were all related to cultural communications. I was referred by my professor to work as a conference interpreter for the symposium named Future Culture [In]tangible Heritage, which was hosted by the Hong Kong advanced Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Studies. Our team earned a widely-acknowledged reputation for our interpretation services. This experience not only enriched my professional experience and knowledge, but gave me a lesson on teamwork as well. Moreover, when I saw the scholars from Dunhuang Academy and British Library, who did not know eachother’s language or culture, talked fluently with my help, I was fascinated by the magic of words and languages, which firmed my decision of my career choice.Born and raised up in a culturally rich area, I have always felt called upon to present my hometown’s culture accurately and adequately. As a trail to achieve my goal, I worked for a local firm in my hometown in order to promote the cultural heritage to the visitors. I helped receive and interpret for a few distinguished guests including the group of Nobel Laureates as well as the Premier from Rwanda. I also drafted the English script for the introduction which was played in the electronic guide. Our team’s work was appreciated by the guests as well as the company.Firmly believing in the importance of cross-cultural communications, I have made my mind to stimulate the culturalexchange and integration worldwide. To make this objective come true, I need to master appropriate skills and persistently deepen my understanding of international studies. Bearing in mind what I am seeking for, I hope the MA in Global Affairs at Jackson Institute to be my next stop. Its courses like The Next China, Strategy, Technology and War, The UN and International Security will enable me to improve my knowledge structure which is instrumental to future goal attainment. And its concentration on International Security Studies will accelerate my pursuit of career aspirations. Besides, its unique Research and Summer Internship or Employment will help me enrich my practical experiences in the field of cross-cultural communication.I am confident that, prepared with adequate competitiveness and capacities, I will be an active and contributive member of the Jackson MA International Relations program.个人陈述英文范文2Management Personal StatementI would like to apply to do a Management degree. Having acted as Managing Director on a Young Enterprise Team whilst doing my ‘AS’ levels, I came up with innovative ideas that made a very successful company. Having held management positions within Human Resources, Operations, and Finance, I quickly realised that pursuing a management degree at university would be ideal for me.After my GCSE’s, I held a temporary job as a junior in an Insolvency practice, in order to gain work experience. Having to work to tight deadlines taught me how to workindependently as part of a professional team. I learnt that in business, if one person lacks productivity, then everyone else can suffer, and also how to motivate others as a means of preventingsuch issues. I used the skills learnt to enhance my role as the Managing Director of my young Enterprise company, particularly methods of motivation and delegation, and the significance of being accountable for others. Having spent nearly three years working part time in a Health food shop alongside my studies, I developed my communication skills, with both colleagues and customers, and proved to be a trustworthy employee.Being appointed as Deputy Head Boy in the sixth form was a great honour to me. My skills were greatly enhanced by holding this position, as I would often have to listen, and respond to issues brought up by fellow prefects, and students lower down the school. Through activities such as Lunch duty, I learnt the worth of different leadership skills, and that it is important to treat everyone as an individual in order to get results. I was always keen to stay into the evening to help out at school events.Socialising is very important to me, and I am always keen to meet new people. I enjoy tryingnew foods to increase my knowledge of different cultures, and my culinary skills will prove very useful in independent university life. I enjoy travelling, and learning about modern history. Having recently returned from Prague, I visited a concentration camp. This was a moving experience for me, and something I will never forget. Music is one of my biggest hobbies, and I use music to help me unwind and reflect on things. I use the internet to keep up with current affairs and sports news.I have always been a keen sportsman, representing my school in many sporting activities. I enjoy running, particularly competing in sprint races, but also long distance running as a means of keeping fit. I always try to go for a run every evening, during breaks between my A Level studies. I represented myschool as a keen member of the district and Maccabi Great Britain athletics teams, particularly in the relay. I formally played tennis and table tennis in national competitions, and more recently I have played in football, rugby, and cricket leagues outside of school.I believe that my experiences have prepared me for independent university life. My social skills together with my ambition to succeed in life prove me to be good candidate for a Management Degree.店铺申请之个人陈述写作技巧自述，也即Personal Statement, 是所有出国文件中最重要的部分，它是申请者最主要的自我包装。

如何写PersonalStatement（个人陈述）第一篇：如何写Personal Statement(个人陈述)一步步教你怎么写PS（一）PS是Personal Statement的简称，是我们申请美国研究生院的重要材料之一。

一份完美的PS有可能使你申请成功的机会大大增加，同时PS也是很好的认识你自己的过程。

通过写PS，你将更了解你自己，清楚自己想要什么样的生活，理清自己为什么要去美国，以后将要成为什么样的人。

这对申请者来说至关重要，对admission officer来说，PS是你唯一有机会向他们展示一个鲜活的你的材料。

成绩单是死的，GRE和TOEFL分数是死的，而他们要找的是一个活生生的人，是一个有血有肉有思想的人，他们在众多的申请者中寻找最适合他们的那一位，你如何认识你自己？你的motivation来自哪里？你将来如何打算？这些东西都可以帮助他们走进你，了解你，认识你，然后决定是不是接受你。

U of Washington的admission officer指出，他们会把申请者分成四等：“Admit with guaranteed funding, Admit with potential funding, Tabled(a sort of admissions purgatory), and Reject.” It is in the case of “Tabled” and “Admit with potential funding” applications, the admissions officer reports, that the personal statement can make a real difference: “If there is a good match between the applicant's research interests and the particular strengths of the school, this can bump them up a level or two in the hierarchy of admission.”如何写PS？从PS教程中，我将总结出写PS的各项注意点，一步步教你怎么写PS，希望对大家有所帮助。
