Ejemplo de “Statement of purpose”

Sometida por un hombre puertorriqueño (Administración Pública)


Politics has been my central fascination since adolescence. Now at 23, I find myself
becoming even more mesmerized by political thinking, with a growing maturity and
pragmatism that locates me within the area of discourse of Public Policy and
Administration. I have a progressive mentality and I am someone who likes to reflect
on social change; and I dream of contributing to social change in meaningful ways on
a structural level.

As a black, Puerto Rican man, I am especially concerned with Latino and other
minority issues, as well as Latin American concerns, especially the way in which
Latinos generally face an uphill battle in the public sphere. Born and raised in San
Juan, I did my B.A. in Political Science with a minor in French and graduated magna
cum laude from the University of XXXX. As a result of my current Master’s studies
at Central Michigan University, to be graduating in May of 2008 in Public
Administration (GPA 3.88), I feel that I am a strong candidate for your program.

My first choice for graduate study is the XXXX School of Public Policy because of
my intense attraction to your new doctoral program that enables students to pursue a
joint Ph.D. with Public Policy and Political Science. I see your program as the perfect
solution to this pull between my idealistic and theoretical—purely intellectual—
interests, on the one hand, and my pragmatic side, on the other, the part of me that is
most concerned with practical professional applications.

By achieving a simultaneous doctoral degree in both Political Science and Public
Policy, I have confidence that I will arrive at the type of integral scholar that I aspire
to become, someone who would be able to make his fullest contribution to the
advancement of social science in pragmatic or applied directions built upon a solid
theoretical foundation. I am especially attracted to the way in which studies in your
interdisciplinary program combine the policy focus of the Ford school with world-
renowned departments in the Social Sciences.
