Graduate school essays are about your path toward your chosen profession and why you have selected the schools to which you are applying. Personal history and self-reflection will be woven into this narrative.

Once you have done your research and know where you will be applying, you will need to organize your writing. If there are similar core components, you can write these and then adjust the specific elements accordingly.

Knowing each program/school and why you are a good fit are essential. In addition to researching the schools, prepare to talk about your personal and pre-professional attributes that align well with what they are looking for.
