| Your Guarantee The most important guarantee that you have that my service is 100% reliable, that I will be there for you to do all that I can to help you throughout the process, is the fact that I depend heavily on word of mouth recommendations to get additional clients. Many of my clients have been recommended to me by a friend or associate. People who are in the process of applying to graduate school, generally speaking, also have friends who are more or less at the same point in their career development, your colleagues, people who you are graduating with from your undergraduate program. If you are pleased with my service, then you may recommend me to your friends. Please rest assured that I will work to the full extent of my ability to make your application as effective as possible. I am the only person providing this service who demonstrates his/her ability to you by writing the first paragraph of your Statement of Purpose free of charge and at no obligation. And I will be there for you throughout the process, to advise you and answer any questions that you might have concerning your application. Send me anything and everything that you think might be helpful. I will look it all over, write the first paragraph, and then send you a bill. When you pay the bill, I will finish your statement(s). It is of critical importance that you let me know right away how long the SOP(s) should be since different departments have different requirements. |
| Your Strategic Investment The Statement of Purpose is enormously important since it serves as a basis for admissions committees to choose between otherwise equally qualified applicants. My clients and I work together as a team to produce the most effective Statement of Purpose possible. Usually, if my clients have a resume, they send it to me. They also tell my why they want to study in that particular field. I work with the rough draft of the SOP that the client has written, using the information like building blocks, organizing and rewriting it to be as effective as possible. As stated above, I need at least a very rough couple of paragraphs that provide me with basic information. I can also interview you by email and the telephone to the extent to which it is necessary, asking you relevant questions. I have learned that it is generally best to tell the review committee straight up front why you want to go to their school in particular. Often, there is a combination of factors involved, the quality and the special focus of the program, as well as its location. Local area resources are sometimes very important. Many applicants, for example, are already well established in the area where they apply to go to school. You are competing against numerous other candidates; this is especially true with respect to financial aid. What you have to do, therefore, is convince the committee that for one reason or another you deserve the position more than other candidates. Include in your rough draft anything that you think will help to bolster your argument that you are someone with an exceptional moral/social character: professional experience, extracurricular activities, especially volunteer work, even hobbies. The other way to look at this is that the committee is searching for people that they would like to have in their department, pleasant, interesting people. I believe strongly that they also like people who are generally interested in the welfare of others. Graduate schools are very tied to numbers; your exam scores are the single most important factor, because they represent objective evidence of your qualifications. This is one of the reasons why it is a good idea, in most cases, to apply to more than one school, usually at least three, and schools with a varied range of selectiveness. Thus, if you do not get accepted at your first or second choice, at least you were accepted somewhere. The committee has to choose between many students with more or less good scores and this is where the SOP comes in: it makes the final difference. When forced to choose between two well qualified applicants with very similar exam scores, the committee will choose the student that they think has the most creative ideas; because that student most deserves the opportunity. |
| I have a Ph.D from the University of Southern California in Religion and Social Ethics and a Master's degree in the same field from Indiana University. I also attended the University of Illinois for one year where I taught in the Intensive English Institute. The photo on the right is of me at a party with some of my students (in the black T-shirt). The following school year, I had the privilege of teaching in the Department of English Philology at the University of Barcelona in Spain. I have also taught at the University of Southern California, Indiana University, and the National Universities of El Salvador and Nicaragua. I taught Business English at the Seoul National University of Technology and Shin Heung College in South Korea (1997-98). For the last 8 years I have lived, worked, traveled, studied, etc., in Central America, from the south of Mexico to Costa Rica. These days, I dream in Spanish. Yet, I did not learn the first word of Spanish until my third year of graduate school. |
| Personal Statement of Purpose The Statement of Purpose is the single most important part of your application. While information on your past work is important, it is only relevant insofar as it helps the admissions committee to better understand and appreciate why you want to focus on the problems that currently interest you. The admissions committee is primarily concerned with learning about your current and future research interests and how they coincide, in other words, how the research that you have already done has prepared you for the research that you want to do in the future. A shorter Statement of Purpose that is clearly written is generally better than a longer one. A Statement longer than one to three pages of normal type and normal margin is generally considered less favorable than the recommended statement of shorter length. A successful personal statement is a literate, elegantly written essay in which the student highlights her strong preparation for her intended area of study, articulates her planned area of study and her goals after completing this study, and demonstrates her facility with current theory and practice in this area. In other words, why do you want to go to grad school? How have you prepared for graduate study thus far? What will you study when you are there? What theories and methods do you find most congenial in terms of your area of study? With whom do you want to study, and why? Name the scholars you've found most inspirational or influential. You've chosen the schools to which you're applying on that basis, anyway, haven't you? You must state your reasons for wanting to attend THAT particular graduate program. And finally, what do you plan to do with this degree once you earn it? |
| Writing Sample In addition to a given university's application requirements, each department often has special or specific requirements, and this frequently includes a writing sample from all applicants to MFA Programs. The admissions committees are looking for a Senior Paper, Honors or Master's Thesis, published paper, or comparable written work giving evidence of both writing ability and the capacity for research, analysis, and original thought at the graduate level, and demonstrating the ability to use theory in relation to evidence. Papers originally written in a language other than English must be submitted in English translation. Other things being equal, a short, effectively written sample is preferable to a longer sample. If you decide to submit a longer sample, you should indicate which 10-12 pages should be reviewed by the admissions committee. I would be happy to review and edit your writing sample as well as helping you with your SOP. The two should be carefully coordinated and this is one of the most important features of my service |
| Multiple Drafts to Different Schools At StatementsofPurpose.com, I work with many clients who are applying to more than one school. I have worked with clients who have applied to as many as 12 different graduate departments at the same time. Those applying to around 6 or 7 schools are much more common. The other magic number appears to be three schools. And, one has to deal with the fact that, the more schools that you apply to, the more one finds oneself stretching the truth a bit, telling each school, more or less, that this particular program is one's first choice, at least implying that this is the case. This part is very important and the wording here needs to be subtle. I suggest saying something like: "I am convinced that X department at Y University is the best match for the directions of my research interests and my very high level of motivation." I also recommend that you include one to three sentences detailing which professors you especially look forward to studying under. When you take into consideration the fact that I do each additional draft at only $40.00 each, and that I do a thoroughgoing search of the faculty and their research interests in that particular department and the general resources of the university, especially research and conference centers, this represents a very sound investment in your future. No matter how many schools that you apply to, you MUST tailor each essay to each program. A general essay simply will not do. This is why my service of tailoring each draft to that particular department is of such critical importance. |

| I am proud to announce that the index page for this web site, www.statementsofpurpose.com, now has a Google Page Rank of 3 and it is anticipated that it will increase over the next several months as I am in the middle of a very successful campaign to exchange links with other more or less relevant sites.

Please feel free to link to my site first and then notify me so that I can link back to you right away. I am in a campaign to trade links with hundreds of web sites and I am asking for you to place a reciprocal link to one of the web pages that I have that is most relevant to the themes found on your site. We just need to decide which of the page themes are the most compatible with the themes of your web site, so that links will be as relevant and, therefore, as valuable as possible. Here, at www.ArtGrad.org, I am interested in trading links with web sites dedicated to art.

| "Wow, this is a powerful essay. Not only will this help me with my application, but it will set the standard of quality, reflection, and consciousness I aspire to! Thank you Dr. Edinger! |
| Amazing!!! That's what I got to say. It is incredible and you pretty much put everything I had in mind of writing, on paper. I like the way you combined and included my travels and linguistic abilities in the statement. It's EXCELLENT ! I even had one of my good friends read it, and they said the same thing. I guess you have a passion for writing. |
| Recent Testimonies of very pleased clients that illustrate what I struggle to do with each one. |
| Helping people with their Personal Statements of Purpose for graduate or advanced professional study is much more than a way to make a living. It is also my spiritual expression and social contribution. I like helping people and I am proud of my service. Even if you are unable to pay my fee, I encourage you to fill out my interview form so that I can send you some free tips or suggestions concerning statements in your area of interest. |
| My service is especially useful for those clients who are applying to several schools since I research the client's programs on their behalf, on both university and department web sites, so as to tell the admissions committee why you are especially compatible with that particular program, and this is often the key to success. If you apply to 10 schools, for example, I can provide you with 9 additional drafts at only $40.00 per draft (for programs in the same discipline), each tailored to a specific program ($80.00 for re-wites for another discipline). This could be an especially important, strategic investment on your part. Please be sure to confirm the precise length limit for each of the schools to which you are applying, in either words or pages and also spacing. In some cases, I end up writing drafts of several different lengths, most frequently 500, 750, 1000, 1500 or 2000 words. The rapid (no rush charge) and extremely high quality of my service is an opportunity that I hope you will tell your friends and colleagues about, as I depend on word of word-of-mouth recommendation for finding additional clients. |
| My price for this service begins at only $125.00, depending on the length of your material and the number of different schools to which you are applying. |
| All I need is a few paragraphs of rough essay telling me who you are and why you want to go to Medical School. Often, I respond to the specific questions asked by the specific program to which you are applying. Most clients fill out my fillable form interview first. A resume is also very helpful. In addition, I send you several interview questions by email or Yahoo Messenger, and I use this material as building blocks to write your essay. I also like to visit the web site of the program that you are applying to so that your essay is correctly tailored to the particular program and university in question. It is of central importance that you accurately describe your dreams and visions for what you would most like to become professionally in the future. My Yahoo Messenger ID is StatementsofPurpose. Let's work together as a team to create a masterpiece! |
| Many programs want you to respond to specific questions. Please make sure that you send me these questions, to my email. I will add them to your file and be certain to respond to these specific questions when I prepare your Statement. |

| I do not charge a rush fee. Rather, I struggle every day, 7 days a week, to give all of my clients the best and quickest service possible. My service has become quite popular since the quality of my work is very high and my prices quite reasonable as compared with most of my competitors. As a result, along with the fact that I am a one-man show and do all of the work myself from start to finish, I am able to provide prompt attention only to those clients who have already paid for my services. I almost always have a backlog of well over one week for responding to those interested parties who have not yet paid my fee. This is especially true during my busiest months of the year (September through March). In short, I attend to my clients in the order in which they have paid my fee here on my web site. After you have made your payment you will be redirected to my thank you page, where you will be invited to make a note of my cell phone number so that you can get in touch with me with any further questions that you might have. Please do not try to give me information about yourself that is relevant for your Statement over the phone since I need this in text form in order to include in your Statement. But you can feel free to call me to verify when I think that I will be able to send the draft for your review, for example. After making the payment, if you think of additional information that you would like to include in your statement and share it with me, please do so in an email message so that I will have that text to add to your file. If your limit is in pages rather than number of words, the font can sometimes be reduced to 11 rather than 12 unless the directions specify 12. In a similar way, in some cases, the spacing can be reduced if necessary to 1.5 rather than double, again, unless specified otherwise (at no extra charge). I will let you know if I think this is advisable in your case. I use www.paypal.com. If you pay now, and you are available tomorrow to answer my questions by email, then I can almost always complete your Personal Statement of Purpose within 3 days from the time that you pay online, perhaps even sooner, just fill out the form with sufficient detail, and be sure to submit the information by clicking on the "Send Feedback" button. Sending me a resume or CV is also very helpful. Please note that you do not need to register or open an account with paypal or become a member of the service, all you need to do is follow the link next to the credit card icons that says 'continue' to pay with your credit card. |
| I can almost always send an initial draft for your review within 72 hours of the time that you make the payment here on my web site. The longer the Statement, naturally, the longer it takes. If you are available to answer any interview questions that I might have by email, then I can almost always finish your essay within no more than 3 days from the time that you make the payment on my web site and provide us with the information that we need. This is one of the great advantages of my service, that I provide rapid, timely service without asking clients for a rush fee. If you want changes made to the document that we send you, you must make the changes yourself if you want a free, final revision. Otherwise, you must pay for the revision. |
| Please note: If you already have a draft of the appropriate length, and you just want to have it revised by an expert, we have a special offer of only 10 cents per word. Ask us about it online! Sometimes, we can do it right away and send it back to you within the hour. |

About 2 out of 3 of our clients are non-native speakers of English. If this is the case with you, please keep mind, that
it is best for non-native speakers, and/or those who were raised in non-native-English speaking countries, to leave some small errors,
mistakes, or grammar that is different from the way that a native (American for example) speaker of English might tend to say
something, so as to heighten the authenticity of the Statement. I have heard it said by members of admissions committees even about
Statements by native speakers, that some level of error makes you look human rather than an essay that looks like it was “written by a
machine.” In other words, it is very much in your interests (and I am afraid at times that some of my clients do not believe me) that
some of the grammatical constructions be such that they would not have been written by a native speaker; sometimes, I try to preserve
some of this non-native flavor since I am sensitive to this question of authenticity. These days in academia, experts speak of “World
Englishes,” Chinese English, Arabic English, etc. Thus, what I really think is in your best interests is to take the document that I send
you and go back through it making it sound more like it is in your voice in at least a couple of places, and do not worry at all about
something not being grammatically correct. Unless you were raised in a native-English-speaking country, some grammatical irregularity
or peculiarity is called for. Generally speaking, I make it very close to U.S. native-speaker English, perhaps leaving in some slight
nuanced irregularities. I am unable to produce “World Englishes” I can only respond to them and edit them in a way that leaves some
flavor of your linguistic origins. In other words, the Statements that are corrected in your own way, in your own style, are more
effective for admissions committees. If your essay is too perfect, it looks like you had help, which you have: But you don’t want them
to know that! I want to leave in some of your Japanese (or Chinese, etc) style, try and make a bunch of small changes to the draft that I
produce! Say things the way you would say them yourself in a few key places! You are not a native speaker and you want your
Statement to look like it was written by someone who was not a native speaker. What I send to you looks very much like an American
native speaker wrote it, and if I were to make any changes that you might think are called for on your behalf, it would still look like an
American native speaker wrote it. Admissions committees do not like to be fooled. You must have some Japanese (or Arabic or
Spanish) English in the Statement or they may not admit you. Try and think of some Japanese (or French or German) idiomatic
expressions and then translate them literally, that is a great way to give the document greater authenticity. That way they will know that
you really wrote it because they will see how you are thinking in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, etc.
it is best for non-native speakers, and/or those who were raised in non-native-English speaking countries, to leave some small errors,
mistakes, or grammar that is different from the way that a native (American for example) speaker of English might tend to say
something, so as to heighten the authenticity of the Statement. I have heard it said by members of admissions committees even about
Statements by native speakers, that some level of error makes you look human rather than an essay that looks like it was “written by a
machine.” In other words, it is very much in your interests (and I am afraid at times that some of my clients do not believe me) that
some of the grammatical constructions be such that they would not have been written by a native speaker; sometimes, I try to preserve
some of this non-native flavor since I am sensitive to this question of authenticity. These days in academia, experts speak of “World
Englishes,” Chinese English, Arabic English, etc. Thus, what I really think is in your best interests is to take the document that I send
you and go back through it making it sound more like it is in your voice in at least a couple of places, and do not worry at all about
something not being grammatically correct. Unless you were raised in a native-English-speaking country, some grammatical irregularity
or peculiarity is called for. Generally speaking, I make it very close to U.S. native-speaker English, perhaps leaving in some slight
nuanced irregularities. I am unable to produce “World Englishes” I can only respond to them and edit them in a way that leaves some
flavor of your linguistic origins. In other words, the Statements that are corrected in your own way, in your own style, are more
effective for admissions committees. If your essay is too perfect, it looks like you had help, which you have: But you don’t want them
to know that! I want to leave in some of your Japanese (or Chinese, etc) style, try and make a bunch of small changes to the draft that I
produce! Say things the way you would say them yourself in a few key places! You are not a native speaker and you want your
Statement to look like it was written by someone who was not a native speaker. What I send to you looks very much like an American
native speaker wrote it, and if I were to make any changes that you might think are called for on your behalf, it would still look like an
American native speaker wrote it. Admissions committees do not like to be fooled. You must have some Japanese (or Arabic or
Spanish) English in the Statement or they may not admit you. Try and think of some Japanese (or French or German) idiomatic
expressions and then translate them literally, that is a great way to give the document greater authenticity. That way they will know that
you really wrote it because they will see how you are thinking in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, etc.
