...Stephanie Chavez Masters of Science in Psychology Statement of Purpose During my adolescent years, I watched my little sister struggle with her sexual identity. I knew my sister was going to be unlike other children and I found myself constantly analyzing her behaviors and exploring why she did not see herself as we saw her. As my sister went through her school years, her struggles with her counterparts became more apparent. She became isolated, depressed and exhibited suicidal behaviors. As my sister matured into a young woman, I was intrigued as to why her view of herself versus society’s expectations of her as a woman would impact her life in such a manner that would lead her to want to have a sexual reassignment surgery. Through my sister’s identity crisis, I found a passion for psychology. I wanted to better understand the dynamic between people and how those interactions affect our lives, personalities and decisions. I asked myself every day, how was my sister going to cope today? Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to find a way to helped those who struggled to find peace and comfort in their lives. My research into the field of psychology started during my freshman year of college and, before long, psychological and social theories had become an integral part of my life. What is particularly interesting to me about pursuing a career in the scientific field of psychology is the potential to use my education along with my life experiences in determining how to serve...

...Joel Barker's pithy saying, "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world!" distinguishes an entrepreneur from others. An entrepreneur acts to bring visions to reality. I have longed to be one and have learnt from my reading that modern entrepreneurs have all worked to use technology for the betterment of our lives. Therefore, I decided long ago to study engineering and did not miss any opportunities to learn how the machines in our everyday life worked. In my school days, I used to listen to audio cassettes on a tape recorder. When I learnt the difference between mono and stereo recording, I thought of converting two mono recorded audio cassettes into a single stereo cassette, recorded in mono mode using the cassette's LEFT and RIGHT channels as a separate channels, to be heard in sequence, not together. To my delight, the idea worked and resulted in compacting two cassettes into a single mono cassette. With good scores in the science subjects, I could choose the engineering stream to take up for Bachelors. I chose Electronics & Telecommunication, because of its wide, interdisciplinary span and the ever increasing use of electronics in every branch of modern science, from Astrophysics to Medicine. It is a field rich with opportunities for an entrepreneur. The curriculum of University of Pune introduced me to the basics of several subjects, such as Digital Signal Processing, Integrated Circuit...

...It should come as no surprise that most applicants do not enjoy drafting their graduate admissions essay. Writing a statement that tells a graduate admissions committee all about you and can potentially make or break your application is stressful. Take a different perspective, however, and you will find that your admissions essay is what ensures that you match up with a graduate program that will offer you the training you need for the career you desire. Let's take a closer look at the graduate admissions essay. What is its Purpose? Your graduate school application provides the admissions committee with a great deal of information about you that cannot be found elsewhere in your graduate application. The other parts of your graduate school application tell the admissions committee about your grades (i.e., transcript), your academic promise (i.e., GRE scores), and what your professors think of you (i.e., recommendation letters). Despite all of this information, the admissions committee does not learn much about you as an individual. What are your goals? Why are you applying to graduate school? With so many applicants and so few slots it's critical that graduate admissions committees learn as much as possible about applicants so as to ensure that they choose students who best fit their program and are most likely to succeed and complete a graduate degree. Your admissions essay explains who you are, your goals, and the ways in which you match the graduate program to which you...

...Demystifying the American Graduate Admissions Process Karthik Raghunathan Graduate Class of 2010 Stanford Computer Science kr@cs.stanford.edu Abstract This paper attempts to discuss at length the various factors (along with their respective weightage) that the admissions committee at a top graduate school in the US takes into account while reviewing a Master of Science (MS) application. Disclaimer This paper is a mixture of facts, inferences and extrapolations, based on my personal experience as an admissions committee member at Stanford. All views expressed here are solely mine and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Stanford University. 1. Introduction In this paper, I outline the various parameters involved in the complex decision making process of a Masters admissions committee in a top graduate school in the US. To clarify this further, (i) This report is mainly targeted at MS applicants, but a lot of it can be extended to PhD applications as well. In most cases, the requirements for a PhD admit will just be a stricter version of those mentioned here. (ii) I do not have a specific list of universities in mind when I say "a top graduate school". Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley and CMU are certainly up there, but I am not particularly referring to any specific list of graduate school rankings. In a more general sense, I am talking about schools where the default attitude of the admissions committee is "rejected, unless strongly proved otherwise" rather...

...Statement Of Purpose Admission Committee Every year the first step towards the successful completion of an academic program is completed by the admission committee by selecting the best talents across the country which makes the academic committee an integral part of the institute's success. The admission committee is also responsible to make the admission process as smooth as possible for the incoming batch and speaking with my own experience the Great Lakes ADCOM has been doing this flawlessly. So I want to be the part of this committee where I can contribute as an team player as well as learn from the experience of the committee members. In my college I competed and won several prizes in various team events so I am accustomed to work in teams. This experience enabled me to understand the importance of successful completion of tasks assigned to each individual. This learning helped in my work experience where I received the highest rating of 5 after completion of our training program. So this would also help me to play an active part in the admission committee. I was also very influenced by the admission process which I was the part of by things like timely reply to our queries, transparency of the admission process and I would like to contribute towards it. Also with my previous experience of web development I would be able to contribute towards the technical team's efforts in tasks like online application and other web related activities. Apart from this I also like...

...PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellant personal injury victim filed suit against appellee store alleging that it was negligent in its cleaning of a coffee spill, upon which she slipped and fell. The store filed a motion for summary judgment. The Warren County Court of Common Pleas (Ohio) granted summary judgment for the store. The victim appealed. OVERVIEW: The victim argued that the trial court erred by failing to consider the incident report and corresponding witness statements. The appellate court held that the trial court did not err by disregarding the document due to its lack of authenticity. There was no indication that the document, purported to be an employee witness statement, was sworn or certified, nor was there any evidence presented to establish its authenticity by affidavit. Further, the incident report, and the alleged corresponding witness statements, did not meet the admissibility requirements of Civ. R. 56, and therefore, were not entitled to consideration by the trial court for summary judgment purposes. Finally, summary judgment was properly granted. Because the victim could not identify or explain what caused her to slip and fall as...

...the method by which substantive law is made and administered. Procedural law has no independence and can be applicable in non-legal contexts. It only tells how the legal process to be executed by giving a step-by-step action. Question Two: During the discovery phase, the parties resort to the use of interrogatories, depositions, admission requests and document production requests. Briefly define these different discovery tools and explain the purpose for each. Explain the purpose of discovery as you understand it. Interrogatories are a formal set of written questions directed by one litigant and required to be answered by the other party and are used for the purpose of clarifying and narrowing the issues or the facts and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at trial in the case. Deposition is the oral testimony of a witness by the lawyers outside the court and is used for the purpose of narrowing the issues, gathering information for the trail and also shortening the trail by making decision on the knowledge in advance. Admission Request is one party’s written demand that the other party admit or deny certain statements of supposed fact or of the application of law to fact and are made for...

... Crawford stabbed Lee at his apartment on on August 5,1999. Police arrested petitioner later that night. Crawford claimed he had acted in self-defense when he believed Lee had picked up a weapon. Lee denied doing anything that might make Crawford believe he was trying to attack him. Michael Crawford contended that Lee had attempted to rape his wife, Sylvia. The police arrested him for the stabbing, and after giving both Michael and his wife, Sylvia, Miranda warnings, they interrogated both husband and wife twice. The statement Michael challenged under the Confrontation Clause came from a tape recorded interrogation of Sylvia. In her second interrogation, she gave a version of the fight between Michael and the alleged victim that at least appeared inconsistent with her husband’s self-defense claim. Sylvia’s tape recorded statement was introduced at trial against Michael even though he had no opportunity for cross examination. In reviewing the statement’s admission by the trial court, the Washington Court of Appeals and Washington Supreme Court applied slightly different tests grounded in the framework described by Ohio v. Roberts, a system that looks for “adequate ‘indicia of reliability. However, the two courts reached opposite results. The court of appeals reversed the conviction, finding no “particularized guarantees of trustworthiness, while the Washington Supreme Court reinstated the conviction because it bore guarantees of trustworthiness. The United States Supreme Court...
