I have to write a, no more than 5500 characters, personal essay for my graduate school application.
The essay has to include the following information:
The applicant should address why he or she is a good “match” to the NAU Clinical Speech-Language Pathology Master’s program given one’s interests, experiences, and background. An applicant should identify those factors which she/he believes the Admissions Committee should consider in reviewing the application. Provide an essay explaining why you are interested in the communication sciences. This is your opportunity to let the programs that you are applying to know a little more about you.
USING YOUR OWN WORDS, in the space provided write a brief statement expressing plans you have to use your education and training, the needs and/or challenges you perceive as important in your field of study, and any personality qualities, characteristics, and skills you believe will enable you to be successful in your chosen field of study.
