Schools want to understand who the student is, what experiences shaped his/her past, and how he/she could contribute to student life.

International students are often at a great advantage because they clearly have something to offer that others don't: the international perspective. One of the biggest concerns that schools now have is making sure that their students are cosmopolitan and are aware of foreign relations and foreign cultures. Students from Vietnam should thus focus on how growing up in Vietnam has given them perspective and how they would be willing/able to share their experiences with American students.

1. Each statement should start out with a "hook." The point of a "hook" is to draw the reader in and to set it apart from all the other statements. Often, the hook is a story/anecdote or an observation that frames the whole essay.

2. After the hook, write a few paragraphs about yourself: this is a bit more factual and should focus on your experiences and life.

3. After you have spent 2 or 3 paragraphs on your life, extrapolate to your thoughts. How have you grown as a result of your experiences? How has life in Vietnam enhanced your perspective? How did you past influence your desire to attend school in the US now?

4. Following all of this, talk about (1) what you hope to gain from your educational experience at the institution to which you're applying, and (2) what contributions you can make to the school.

Note that for (1) you should have done research about the school so that you can write intelligently about why *that* particular school would be good for you. In terms of (2), typical contributions include sharing your life with other students socially or adding perspective in the classroom.

5. End the essay with a strong statement of interest about going to school in the US generally, and attending school at that institution in particular.

Note that personal statements are typically short - often, only 2 pages double spaced. Thus, you will not be able to fit everything in that you want to write. This means that you will need to make a list of the things you want to say and pick the top few points.

Beyond all of this, you MUST spell-check and make sure that there are no typos. Schools care about how meticulous / detail-oriented you are. Edit your writing and double-check it for spelling and grammatical mistakes. Remember, however, that schools certainly take into consideration the fact that you're an international student. Thus, some mistakes are acceptable.

But by editing, you make sure that you have very few (if any) mistakes a reality that will undoubtedly impress schools.

Good luck!

Dear Dr. Richardson,

I began my professional career in June of 1999 with Alliance Commerciale Technologique (ACT). ACT is a consulting company specializing in CATIA (3-D modeling software), as well as data management. My first assignment brought me back to Connecticut as a CAD/CAM consultant for Computer Science Corporation, a contractor to Electric Boat Corporation. In the future, ACT may send me to work at Boeing in Seattle, BMW in Berlin, Honda in Tokyo or Dassault Systemes in Paris, all of whom are clients of ACT. I will have many diverse work experiences in my career. However, I would like to further my opportunities for success by achieving an MBA from the University of Connecticut.

I graduated with a B.S in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1997. During the fall of 1995 I began working at the Business Law Department as an assistant for Professor Madelyn Huffmire for two semesters. I evaluated tests, maintained student records and conducted library research for her lectures. For the fall 1996 semester I was an assistant to Linda Klein, a professor of the Finance Department. I worked on the Income Property Evaluation and was familiar with cash flow forecasting, rate derivation, and discounted cash flow techniques. I strongly believe that management is the core of my professional career in the future. Continuing this philosophy, I worked for the Management Department and assisted Professor William Schulze for a semester. I conducted library research on the Dynamics of Organization and Management of Small Businesses & Venture Enterprises. This taught me to understand the principle of systems interacting with a changing environment and opportunities of self-employment in traditional small businesses.

In the summer 1998 I interned with Nike Inc. of Vietnam. My task was to systematize Safety & Health (SH) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), then train the appropriate managers and supervisors with these systematizations. After these managers and supervisors were trained, they, in turn, were responsible for the training of their subordinates. The SH and PPE programs encompassed five factories, covering 40,000 Nike employees. In addition to the systematizations of the SH and PPE programs, I was responsible for surveying employees' understanding of SH and PPE before and after the training program. The training program was a success, as 25 percent of employees had a much deeper understanding on SH and PPE, which helped contribute to their overall happiness and productivity.

With my background of education and work experience, I believe I will perform well in the MBA program with a concentration on Management of Technology. I have admired the success of several people, such as Mr. Denis Nayden, president of GE Capital, and Mr. Sudhakar Shenoy, president of IMC, both of whom possess an MBA degree from the University of Connecticut and are working not only in Connecticut, but nation-wide. The University is my Alma matter, and I would be proud to carry an MBA that would not only reflect on my desire for success, but would also reflect on a great institution.

Sincerely

Tho Tran2. Th gii thiu

Writing a Letter of Recommendation: http://www.boxfreeconcepts.com/reco/#Recommendation%20Overview

STEP 1. Make a listMake a list of keywords and key phrases -- accomplishments and qualities -- you want to address within the letter. Such a list will help you avoid the most common mistake made in these letters: vague, metaphoric writing. Anchor your writing to specific images and anecdotes; provide concrete, convincing evidence.

Classify your keywords into:

professional/academic qualities

Is this person a leader?Is this person a strong team player?Is this person a keen analytical thinker?Is this person capable of conducting sophisticated research?

specific skills

Strong communication skills?Fluency in certain languages?

personal qualities

Does this person get along with peers?Does this person have a good sense of humor?

past accomplishments

What are the principal two or three accomplishments this person has achieved under my guidance?

weaknesses

What are some points this person must address to advance his/her career?How well does this person learn from past mistakes?

future potential

What do I believe this person is capable of achieving?

Letters of recommendation vary widely in content and form, but solid letters contain a number of common traits. Here below is an outline for a well-structured letter that covers all main points.

STEP 2. WRITE THE LETTER

Introduction First Paragraph: Introduce Yourself

Begin the letter by clearly stating your position, where you work, your relationship to the applicant, and how long you have known and/or worked with the applicant.

Second Paragraph: Give Your General Impression of the ApplicantBody Third Paragraph: Applicant Quality # 1

State the applicant's most noteworthy quality, and support that claim with a specific anecdote. For instance, you might say that Samantha is, first and foremost, a born leader; then, support that statement by telling about the time Samantha took the initiative to form a task force to deal with a glitch in the company's computer accounting system.

Fourth Paragraph: Applicant Quality # 2Again, state your claim with specific anecdotes and concrete examples.

Conclusion

Fifth Paragraph: State why you think the applicant's plans suit him/her.

Sixth Paragraph: State how you think the applicant will contribute to the program.

Last Paragraph: Strongly reaffirm your confidence in the applicant's abilities and conclude by telling the readers they should feel free to contact you in case they need more information. Don't forget to include your contact information beneath your signature and name.

Notes about the format and length

Don't handwrite the letter; type it. Handwriting a letter is a sign that you are not serious about the task and will reflect poorly on the applicant.

Remember to use official letterhead, to sign the letter, and to include both complete contact information. When you have folded the letter and put it in an envelope, sign across the seal.

The length of letters of recommendation varies greatly, but five paragraphs is usually the minimum. On the same note, don't go overboard and churn out seven pages, even if you are highly enthusiastic about the candidate. Choose your content wisely, and remember that a concise letter is usually more effective than an overly verbose one.Monday, August 27th, 2001.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing the letter of recommendation in regards to Ms. Dang Trinh Lan Phuong who is presently an employee of Indochina Research Ltd. I met her in the summer of 1996 when I returned to Ho Chi Minh City for the first time. During that summer, I had opportunities to talk with her and see her activities at Ho Chi Minh City, University of Economics. Since I was impressed with her ambition and devotion to student activities, I appointed her to the liaison position of our organization in Vietnam in 1997.

Ms. Phuong has a passion in community service. She fulfilled multiple educational projects, which enhanced educational information for students in Vietnam. She managed Book Drive in Ho Chi Minh City, a project which collected used text-books donated by Vietnamese American students and sent them to Ho Chi Minh General Sciences Library. She has contacted the Foreign Language Centre, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City for information in regards to American volunteers who is accepted in the English Teaching program at the center. She has helped us inform colleges in Ho Chi Minh City about the international scholarship program. She has also helped us update the information about the Study Abroad in U.S program located at Ho Chi Minh General Sciences Library, a program which helps students in Vietnam apply for colleges in U.S

Ms. Phuong has a good personality and leadership skills, which have helped her manage many projects effectively. She is friendly, mature, intelligent, responsible, highly motivated, and self-confident. I think she is capable of achieving much success in her career or community services. She often goes beyond the assigned projects and takes the initiative to accomplish even more.

I strongly recommend Ms. Dang Trinh Lan Phuong to the International Fellowships Program sponsored by Ford Foundation. This is a good opportunity for her advanced study. She will use this education in her contribution to the development of Vietnam. Please consider her application seriously.

If you have any question, please contact me via email at [email protected]

Sincerely,

Thang Tran

President The Institute for Vietnamese Culture and Education.
