Hi Hjort and others.

I'm wrinting my personal statement for a graduate study. It is somewhat different to the regular MBA essays as it is just one piece of work and less extensive. The question as it is stated in the application is:

Please use this space to describe your special academic interests and your purpose and objectives in undertaking graduate study

I was wondering about a good structure in terms of content to master this part of my application.

Here are the parts I already started to write and planned to write:
- motivation/interest for the field of study
.....- why this programme
.....- why graduate study
- academic plan
.....- for my graduate study
.....- future career objectives
- long term goals
- why am I suitable for this university
.....- potential to contribute/my strength and personal qualities
.....- why [enter university name here]?

I would be grateful to hear your opinion about organization and structure. I am not sure in what order this would read smoothly and if I should include any other information.

thx in advance
