...Independence from the British, my great-grandmother was fighting a personal battle with cancer. In those days, medical science offered radium radiation therapy to fight the dreaded disease. When I was a child, over dinner table conversations, dad would share stories of the family’s struggle and sheer helplessness in alleviating the suffering of the aging matriarch. His narrations would be laced with exasperated ‘if only’ and ‘times have changed’, fervently wishing that medical advancements in science had come about sooner than later. As curious as fish, I surfed the Internet, my generation’s answer to the Encyclopedia, and learned about the discoveries made by revolutionary bio-medical engineers in reducing the risk factor of terminal illnesses. The relentless efforts of these innovators have impacted me greatly and therefore, motivated by their social spirit, I have decided to join them in their quest for a cure. Planning my future consciously, I applied for a Bachelor’s of Technology in Biomedical Engineering at the prestigious Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka. The curriculum and practical instruction schedule of the course reassure me that I have chosen my future well. Extensive faculty interactions and...

...I want to conduct research in the area of tissue engineering, which primarily exists in the realm of research, and for that I need a Ph. D. A master's degree is a step on the way to earning a Ph. D. I am particularly interested in engineering of cardiovascular tissue. Specific research topics that I am hoping to work on include the creation of 3D scaffolds, the influence of mechanical forces on the differentiation of cardiac tissue, and the study of cytokines in the differentiation of cardiac tissue. I hope that one day it will be possible to grow whole hearts from a patients' own cells to replace their damaged or diseased hearts. This could effectively eliminate organ transplant waitlists for hearts. My interest in biomedical engineering over other science related fields stems from the fact that my mother is a nurse and my father was a lab technician while he was in the military. Sometimes he would take me to his work and I could see how the lab was set up. He would let me look through the microscopes and sometimes explain what he was doing. He would often tell me that he was surprised that I actually understood most of what he told me. Before attending UT, I earned a biotechnology certificate at Temple College.

...Writing Your Graduate School Application Essay Generally speaking, there are two types of application essays for graduate school: the statement of purpose (SOP) and the personal statement. (Refer to FAQs to find out how the two types are different.) Both types let you convince the admissions committee that you are a good fit for the program and can contribute to the department. Although different graduate schools may ask you to answer different prompts, most ask that you write no more than a two-page application essay. The application essay is difficult to write because you must pitch your candidacy to a few department faculty members who read through hundreds – or sometimes thousands – of other essays. In this handout, you will learn how to show these busy readers that you will contribute meaningfully to the university and their department. 1. Relate your past and present experiences to the future. In their application essays, many applicants make the mistake of underemphasizing the future. But it’s important that you show how your past experiences have informed your present work, and how your present work can be extended to the future or raise new research questions. Admissions committees assess many qualified applicants based on whether their research will reflect positively on the university and their department. Committees will think your past and present work is relevant only if it relates directly to your plans for the future. If you don’t know exactly where your current...
