Statement #1 follows a science-to-electrical-engineering trajectory, highlighting calculus preparation, engineering coursework, and research experience in laser technology, quantum electronics, and electromagnetics. It emphasizes graduate and doctoral goals plus a research-and-development career direction. Statement #2 focuses on literary studies and intensifies work in English and American literature, especially nineteenth-century women’s literature and folklore traditions, supported by exam preparation, honors research, creative writing, and doctoral-level teaching and publication aspirations.","Personal Statement Examples:  \nStatement \\#1  \nMy interest in science dates back to my years in high school, where I excelled in physics, chemistry, and math. When I was a senior, I took a first-year calculus course at a local college (such an advanced-level class was not available in high school) and earned an A. It seemed only logical that I pursue a career in electrical engineering.  \nWhen I began my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of engineering courses, all of which tended to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in engineering. I've also had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the humanities and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live.  \nIn the realm of engineering, I have developed a special interest in the field of laser technology and have even been taking a graduate course in quantum electronics. Among the 25 or so students in the course, Iam the sole undergraduate. Another particular interest of mine is electromagnetics, and last summer, when I was a technical assistant at a world-famous local lab, I learned about its many practical applications, especially in relation to microstrip and antenna design. Management at this lab was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask that I return when I graduate. Of course, my plans following completion of my current studies are to move directly into graduate work toward my master's in science. After I earn my master's degree, I intend to start work on my Ph. D. in electrical engineering. Later I would like to work in the area of research and development for private industry. It is in R & D that I believe I can make the greatest contribution, utilizing my theoretical background and creativity as a scientist.  \nI am highly aware of the superb reputation of your school, and my conversations with several of your alumni have served to deepen my interest in attending. I know that, in addition to your excellent faculty, your computer facilities are among the best in the state. I hope you will give me the privilege of continuing my studies at your fine institution.  \n(Stelzer pp. 38-39)  \nStatement \\#2  \nHaving majored in literary studies (world literature) as an undergraduate, I would now like to concentrate on English and American literature.  \nI am especially interested in nineteenth-century literature, women's literature, Anglo-Saxon poetry, and folklore and folk literature. My personal literary projects have involved some combination of these subjects. For the oral section of my comprehensive exams, I specialized in nineteenth century novels by and about women. The relationship between \"high\" and folk literature became the subject for my honors essay, which examined Toni Morrison's use of classical, biblical, African, and Afro-American folk tradition in her novel. I plan to work further on this essay, treating Morrison's other novels and perhaps preparing a paper suitable for publication.  \nIn my studies toward a doctoral degree, I hope to examine more closely the relationship between high and folk literature. My junior year and private studies of Anglo-Saxon language and literature have  \ncaused me to consider the question of where the divisions between folklore, folk literature, and high literature lie. Should I attend your school, I would like to resume my studies of Anglo-Saxon poetry, with special attention to its folk elements.  \nWriting poetry also figures prominently in my academic and professional goals. I have just begun submitting to the smaller journals with some success and am gradually building a working manuscript for a collection. The dominant theme of this collection relies on poems that draw from classical, biblical, and folk traditions, as well as everyday experience, in order to celebrate the process of giving and taking life, whether literal or figurative. My poetry draws from and influences my academic studies.","cbCaimAIM5prc8ZQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAIM5prc8ZQ","pdf",98048,9,2,"English","en",105,"# Statement #1\n## Academic background and research focus\n## Graduate and career plans\n# Statement #2\n## Literary interests and academic projects\n## Creative writing and doctoral goals","[{\"question\":\"What academic background does Statement #1 describe?\",\"answer\":\"It traces the applicant’s science interests through high school physics, chemistry, math, then calculus study and undergraduate engineering coursework.
