To apply for USA universities , you need some requirements such as SOP, CV, Enlish language proficiency, etc.

I'll describe those requirements in following days.

What is a statement of purpose?

A statement of purpose (SOP), in the context of applying for graduate school, is an essay that’s one of the most important aspects of your application because it tells the admission committee who you are, why you’re applying, why you’re a good candidate, and what you want to do in the future. It’s sometimes called an SOP letter, application essay, personal background, objectives for graduate study, cover letter, or something similar to one of these.

The statement of purpose reflects not only who you are as a candidate, but your writing abilities as well. In college and graduate school, you’re going to be doing a ton of writing. Seriously a ton. It was not unusual for me to write papers 10-20 pages or longer. With that in mind, it is really important to show that you are a truly competent writer. Some quick tips are:

Your statement of purpose shouldn’t have any spelling or grammatical errors

Use strong, clear, and concise writing

Avoid cliches and repetitive language

Stay away from overly informal language

Keep a positive and confident tone

General format for writing SOP is as below generally (for field which may include creativity in the concepts of the course may differ but in engineering or management fields better to be as below) :


12 point Times New Roman font

1-inch margins on all sides

1.5 line spacing

Scholarship vs fellowship

SCHOLARSHIP(this category used for students)

Scholarship refers to a type of grant provided to the students on their academic achievement, to encourage them for doing better.

FELLOWSHIP(this category used for research fellows)

Fellowship implies the financial aid awarded to the individuals willing to research further on a specific subject, after they qualify the prescribed exam.

Dr. _____

Recognizing your very busy schedule, I’m sending you this note as a reminder about my previous email.

Do not apply to universities which you have minimum requirements of them.

For example: If they asked for GMAT and mentioned they need at least 700 out of 800 and yiu have 700 as the result or they asked for IELTS which your result for each skill should be more than 7 and you got all 7, your chances are extremely low to get acceptance.

Except universities which you have one professor attention behind you and you worked for your proposals with them or the professor gave you the positive answers. Also keep in mind that if the professor is in committee or have influences in committee, their positive answers will be helpful otherwise you are waisting your time with them.

**The 'Who, Why, Where, When, What, and How' of Recommendation Writing**

Effective recommendation letters contain the “Who, Why, Where, When, What, and How” that you may be familiar with from journalism. Modified for business correspondence, this means you should explain:

*Who you are writing for;
*Why you are willing to write on the person's behalf;
*Where and *When you worked with the person you're recommending;
*What is so special about the person (his or her unique strengths); and
*How he or she demonstrated these special qualities to you.

If you are planning to contact a professor to have their sponsorship for your application, contacting in March is the best choice:

1- It is the start of the semester and professors have not many emails from their own students.

2- All universities deadlines finished in February and prospective students for the next year did not decide yet for their futurr university.

3- It will shows that you planned in advance.

4- You could ask the professor you choosed to provide you some materials for further studies.

5- You could ask the professor to help you to concluding your proposal for apply.

Here are some points you should consider when you are sending email to the prof. to ask him/her to give you a research proposal or related materials:

1-have an informative subject line
2-be concise
3-be formal: Dear Dr. Smith; Sincerely, Your Name
4-not use Mrs. or Ms.
5-NOT have slang, abbreviations, or emoticons
6-if applying for an opening: *address any qualifications the professor is looking for* and *demonstrate your experience*
7-if asking for a research opportunity: *state specifically your interest in that research group (you need to read the professor's website)* and *explain why research is important for your goals*
8-ask to schedule a meeting or say that you will be coming to office hours (If you are not in their city and country ask for online discussion)
