Dear Sir/Maam,
My name is Donna Guber and at present I am pursuing my studies as
a senior at Berkeley High, California, where my main subjects are
Economics and Math. I am writing this letter to express my interest in
the graduation programme at your prestigious university.
I have had a fairly good academic record and some significant
achievements in extracurricular activities like debate, quizzes and
other competitions. I have enclosed photocopies of my marksheets
and certificates with this letter for your kind perusal.

I learned about the benefits of the programme offered by your

university through the university website. Your annual Math Olympiad
is famous and your esteemed panel of teachers encourages a healthy
atmosphere for research, which, in particular, caught my interest. I
would consider myself lucky to be a part of the university and hope to
hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Donna Guber

application process will be difficult, so here are some tips for writing the
letter of intent:
Emphasize what you can bring to the campus. Dont boast, but talk
about you achievements, your talents, and what you plan to do in your
time at the college. You want to let the admissions committee know that
youll be an asset to their program.
Start with the most important information. If youve had major life
achievements or received awards that fit into the scope of your future
education well, mention those near the beginning of your letter so they
dont get lost in the shuffle.
Address the letter correctly. If it doesnt get to the right person through
the mail, it might never make its way to the hands of the people who
could accept you. If you arent sure where to send the letter, call the
college and ask to speak to the director or dean of admissions.
Stand out from the crowd. You dont want your letter of intent to be
strange or funny, but you do want to have that something special that
makes you memorable.
Explain why you want to be a part of the program. Why are you
applying to this school? Convey your passion for acceptance to this
program, but be careful not to sound like youre sucking up too much!
