Grad school Statement of Purpose

[(Anonymous)]

Grad students, how do you write a statement of purpose? I'm lost. I'm applying for a creative writing MFA. The examples of statements of purpose online are really different. Is this like a cover letter, a persuasive argument (like "You should accept me because I'm a nice person who never cheats at Scrabble"), or proof of your ability to write?

Basically you say what you hope to achieve in the program, why you think this program would be good for you achieving those goals, and why they should think you're worth being accepted to the program. They should probably be asking for a writing sample separately for which you'd want to submit your best work to date (I submitted my capstone paper from the undergrad program when I applied to the history grad program I'm in)

Thank you for the advice! You're right. The writing sample is what they're really judging me on.

I honestly don't remember having to write one but that was 18 years ago and I might have forgotten or purposefully blocked it out. Sorry.

No worries! Thanks for trying to dig out the memories. :)

My statement of purpose was a little different than other grad schools. But the advice I was given across the board is tell a story about what brought you to here.
