📝 How to write a successful motivation letter
#part1
✅ We look at the world of admission through the eyes of those who make this decision. And we will tell you in detail how to write the one motivation letter (also called the statement of purpose) that will break through this insurmountable barrier.
✅ More precise recommendations were made by Vince Gotera, professor of English Language and Literature, University of Northern Iowa. In his opinion, the motivation letter should show the applicant as a person:
❇️ 1. Passionately interested in the field. You can do this at the very beginning of the letter using the "hook", which will be discussed
❇️ 2. Educated, which is obvious from the letter itself, its structure, expressiveness, logic, etc.
❇️ 3. Well-trained academically, which can be demonstrated through the use of highly specialized terms to describe the achievements of the applicant, and by the achievements themselves;

❇️ As we discussed some tips and factors that should be considered for writing a successful motivation letter in our previous post, this post is in continuation of the previous one:
✅ 4. Able to cope with the curriculum of the university and finish the program on time, which can be confirmed by prior experience in overcoming problems with performance;
✅ 5. Ready for cooperation with professors and other students, in other words — collegial. This is not a priority, but developed soft skills will be an obvious plus;
✅ 6. A potentially prominent representative of this university in the professional field, which can be deduced by the current success of the applicant, as well as by how the student speaks about the previous educational institution.

📝Formats and structure of motivation letter
#part3
🔰In general, most motivation essays can be divided into two categories — unstructured letters, and essays in the form of interviews (or short essay answers to specific questions). Here is an explanation for format of the structural motivation letter:
✳️ Introduction. What is my main point? What brought me to this program? (The first paragraph should attract the attention of the reader. It can be a simple, funny, or interesting anecdote from life, leading to the essence of motivation letter).
✳️ Why me? What significant knowledge and experience do I already possess? What have I learned from this experience?
✳️ Why here? How does my academic experience correlate with the faculty/field of study? Is there a specific project I want to work on, or a specific teacher with whom I am eager to work?
✳️ Why now? (will be discussed in the next post)
✳️ Conclusion (will be discussed in the next post)

🔰In general, most motivation essays can be divided into two categories — unstructured letters, and essays in the form of interviews (or short essay answers to specific questions). Here is the continuum of the previous post about the format of the structural motivation letter:
✳️Why now? What are my short/long-term goals? How will teaching on this program, at this time, at this university, help me in their implementation? What will I achieve with this knowledge?
✳️Conclusion. What is the reader meant to take away? How will they remember this personal statement in particular? (Here you can create a ring composition by linking the conclusion with the initial thought and ending the essay with the thesis emphasizing the unique features of the applicant and the contribution that he or she will bring to the new learning environment).

❌📝Top 10 mistakes in writing a motivation letter
#part5
Here are the most common mistakes made by applicants in writing a motivation letter.
❇️ Repetition of information already given in the academic resume. Aim of the motivation letter is to show your personal qualities and desire to develop in the chosen academic field. So, your past achievements should not be the sole focus of your letter, try to look into the future.
❇️ Dull beginning of the essay. Feel free to skip the lengthy introduction of yourself at the beginning. It is better to describe a situation that influenced your decision to study at this university. Try to avoid expressions such as "As a child, I was fond of," “For as long as I can remember, I liked ...” and other cliched phrases.
❇️ Writing a single essay for all universities. Each university has its advantages, which are worth highlighting in a motivation letter. Having searched about the university, you can evaluate its contribution to the development of science.

📝❌Top 10 mistakes in writing a motivation letter
#part6
Here are the top 10 mistakes most commonly seen in the motivation letters:
🟢 Unfunny jokes. Members of the selection committee meet a lot of comedians who want to be remembered for their sparkling sense of humor, but this approach is not always appropriate. Here you need to understand that everyone has a different sense of humor, and in the case of foreign universities — they also have a different worldview. Therefore, we advise you to exclude jokes.
🟢 The desire to write as much as possible about yourself. For each topic, it is worth dedicating a single paragraph to reveal more details. Focus on the information that is not in the academic resume.
🟢 Lack of spell checking and text editing. Before sending the letter, ask a teacher or another competent person to check your essay to avoid annoying errors. Even the most interesting motivation letter might be put aside if members of the committee find mistakes in it.

📝❌Top 10 mistakes in writing a motivation letter
#part7
To spark interest in the admissions committee, you should avoid the most common mistakes made by applicants.
✅ Writing an essay a few days before sending it. It is advisable to devote enough time to writing a motivation letter. Try to write several letters, then compare them and choose the best.
✅ Demonstration of other people's achievements. Never appropriate qualities and merits that are not yours. Be yourself, disclose in your letter only your positive aspects, hobbies, hopes for the future, because in a personal interview, members of the commission may ask you about a fictional hobby or achievement, and then you will have to improvise...
✅ Lackluster representation of the topic. When writing a motivation letter, it is advisable to adhere to a certain structure of the text, i.e., to gradually explore each paragraph. Otherwise, instead of an ordered essay, you will get messy gibberish, which will not be accepted.
