Personal
Statement
|
The
personal statement is an important part of your
application package. Depending on the topic you
choose, the essay you write provides
additional evidence of your intellectual and creative
achievement. The essay is also the only opportunity for
the readers of your application to
get a feel for you as a person as well as for you as
a student. The essay is also the
place where you can put your
academic record into the context of your opportunities and obstacles. They are a requisite
to apply for US,UK,Canada
and postgraduate programs in
Australia.
There is no one correct way to write a
personal statement, but in general those who will read
your essay are looking for two important
things:
• HOW the essay provides evidence of your
achievements that isn't reflected in other parts of your
application • HOW and WHY the events that you
describe have shaped your attitude, focus, and, most of
all, your intellectual vitality.
The personal statement
generally falls into one of two categories:
1. The general, comprehensive
personal statement
2. The response to very specific
questions: Often, business and graduate school
applications ask specific questions, and your statement
should respond specifically to the question being asked.
Some business school applications favor multiple essays,
typically asking for responses to three or more
questions.
Questions to ask yourself
before you write :
- What's special, unique,
distinctive, and/or impressive about you or your life
story?
- What details of your life
(personal or family problems, history, people or
events that have shaped you or influenced your goals)
might help the committee better understand you or help
set you apart from other applicants?
- When did you become
interested in this field and what have you learned
about it (and about yourself) that has further
stimulated your interest and reinforced your
conviction that you are well suited to this field?
What insights have you gained?
- How have you learned about
this field—through classes, readings, seminars, work
or other experiences, or conversations with people
already in the field?
- If you have worked a lot
during your college years, what have you learned
(leadership or managerial skills, for example), and
how has that work contributed to your
growth?
- What are your career goals?
- Are there any gaps or
discrepancies in your academic record that you should
explain (great grades but mediocre LSAT or GRE scores,
for example, or a distinct upward pattern to your GPA
if it was only average in the beginning)?
- Have you had to overcome any
unusual obstacles or hardships (for example, economic,
familial, or physical) in your life?
- What personal
characteristics (for example. integrity. compassion.
persistence) do you possess that would improve your
prospects for success in the field or profession? Is
there a way to demonstrate or document that you have
these characteristics?
- What skills (for example,
leadership, communicative, analytical) do you possess?
- Why might you be a stronger
candidate for graduate school—and more successful and
effective in the profession or field than other
applicants?
- What are the most compelling
reasons you can give for the admissions committee to
be interested in
you?
Please do
not engage in plagiarism and use essays from the
internet resources for personal
use.

Medical
Education in India and US at Par
The United States has
said India's recognition system for under-graduate
medical courses is at par with theirs, an achievement
that could facilitate mobility of doctors from here to
US.
National Committee on Accreditation in
the US, the apex body responsible for foreign
accreditation, has granted parity to the recognition
system in India for the courses.
"The
MCI had sought parity status from the National
Committee on Accreditation.
It was granted last
month, which means quality wise, the under-graduate
courses in India are at par with the US," Dr Vedprakash
Mishra, Vice-Chancellor, Datta Meghe Institute of
Medical Sciences University, who was part of the MCI
team to negotiate with the US agency, told reporters at the
Indo-US Healthcare Summit here.
The
parity has been granted for two years. "During this
period, our recognition system will be monitored by
them. Then India will get permanent parity
status," he said.

Career Spotlight

Careers in
Animation
Animators
draw a series of images that are filmed to create moving
cartoons for film and television. They give flat,
two-dimensional drawings the illusion of life. They are
part storytellers, part drafters, and part filmmakers.
Putting together an
animated feature is a complicated process that typically
involves a large team of artists. An animator working on
a team is usually responsible for only one aspect of the
animation. This is particularly true at large
companies.
Computer animators manipulate
graphics to create the illusion of movement. The
projects in which computer animators are involved range from simple
manipulations of existing film, cartoon, or other graphics, to the creation
of entire three-dimensional (3-D) worlds. Entertainment industry and Video
games are areas where you can see the work of computer
animators.
Computer animation is also used to
simulate scientific ideas or processes that could never
be clearly shown in reality; for example, the
bonding of two atoms
too tiny for the eye to see, or the rotation of the
solar system. Architectural firms employ computer animation to
create realistic, 3-D models of structures that allow
the potential buyer to take a virtual tour of a building
before a single brick is
laid.
You can enrol into a
certificate/diploma/ bachelor programs in fine arts/
visual communication/multimedia course to sharpen your
skills and seek a career in the creative arts field. You will be sourced
out for positions in advertisement, web designing,
entertainment, media, games technology and any other section requiring art
and design. So the opportunities are manifold. The
Institute of
Multimedia, Arts
and graphic effects is one example in
Dubai
that offers relevant
courses.
