Tips to Applying

It’s important to know the components of a graduate school application before you apply, as the application process can be intimidating and time-consuming.

Most graduate school applications require completion of an online application and transcripts from the institution where you received your bachelor’s or other advanced degrees. In addition, you may be asked for a personal statement (or statement of purpose), letters of recommendation, and entrance exam scores. Not all IU Indianapolis programs require all of these; it depends on the program so it’s important to find out the specific requirements of the program to which you will apply.

Personal Statements

Tips for Writing a Personal Statement

• Research the program, school and university you are thinking of applying to. Address in your statement why you want to apply to this program.
• Follow any specific instructions the program has provided for writing your statement.
• Help the program visualize you. Let them know who you are, what you have done, what you want to do and how you see that happening.
• Display confidence and sincerity.
• Share your passion, interests, experiences and career goals.
• Show you have a good understanding of the field, that you have a strong passion or curiosity about the field.
• Take time to reflect on yourself. Ask what has brought you here, to wanting to apply to a graduate program? What are your career goals?
• Help the admissions committee see that their program is the logical next step for you and that you are a good fit.
• Address any deficiencies in your academic record but don’t dwell on them.
• Proof, edit, revise and repeat! Ask others to read it and provide suggestions.
• Be prepared to talk about your statement with the faculty and staff who have reviewed it if you are invited for an interview.

You may find this Writing the Personal Statement document helpful as well.

Letters of Recommendation

Tips for Gaining Letters of Recommendations

• Set up an appointment with your potential recommenders to ask if they are willing to write a letter of recommendation.
• Give 2-4 weeks’ notice minimum and tell them your application deadline.
• Ask people who know your academic qualifications, preferably professors, or supervisors who can speak to your aptitude for the profession.
• Provide your transcripts, resume, and personal statement so the recommender completely understands your goals.
• Provide instructions on how to submit the letter. Many online applications request email addresses and the recommenders are sent an email asking them to submit the letter to a certain link. This is how IU Indianapolis’ application works.
• Send your recommenders thank you notes or emails.
• Let you recommenders know the outcome of your application.

Entrance Exams

The most commonly taken test for graduate school is the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Others include the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), LSAT (Law School Admission Test), MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test), (OAT) Optometry Admission Testing Program, and (DAT) Dental Admissions Test. International students are also required to take the TOEFL exam to show English proficiency.

Tips for Preparing for the GRE

• Register and take the test early.
• Take free practice tests.
• Plan on 1-3 months of preparation time.

There are a number of businesses that offer GRE test preparation materials. Some of them offer free practice tests and downloadable software for studying. They also offer online and live courses with a wide range in pricing. Be sure to take advantage of all the free materials before making any type of investment in classes. ETS , the company that administers the GRE and TOEFL, is a good starting point.

In addition, ETS offers a GRE Fee Reduction Program for individuals who can demonstrate financial need. Voucher users pay 50% of the regular test fee.

Find information on preparing for the LSAT and MCAT .

A number of grants ask for personal statements as part of the application. However, what they mean by the term can vary widely. “Personal statement” in some applications might refer to a hybrid research narrative-personal background format, while in others it might refer to a more strictly personal, i.e., autobiographical, essay. Be sure to pay close attention to how the funder defines the personal statement.

If an application requires a personal statement in addition to a more traditional proposal narrative, one productive way to go about writing the personal statement is to think of it as an intellectual biography and piece of creative non-fiction, which serves to connect where you are now (interested in a particular area of research) to your past (an event or context that brought you to the present) while also projecting into the future (where you see yourself going after having completed this research).

This blog post from UMass Amherst gives a good overview to different things you will want to keep in mind as you prepare a personal statement.

Are you dreaming of joining the vibrant community at Indiana University Bloomington? Your personal statement could be the key that unlocks the door to this prestigious institution. This critical component of your application offers a unique opportunity to showcase your personality, experiences, and aspirations beyond mere grades and test scores. In this guide, we'll explore the art of crafting a compelling personal statement that resonates with the admissions team at Indiana University Bloomington. From understanding the essence of a personal statement to providing concrete examples, we'll walk you through each step of the process, ensuring you're well-equipped to create a narrative that truly stands out. Let's embark on this journey to make your application shine!

• Understanding the Personal Statement: Your Ticket to Stand Out

A personal statement is more than just a formality in your college application; it's your chance to paint a vivid picture of who you are beyond the numbers. This crucial document allows you to articulate your unique experiences, perspectives, and aspirations in a way that transcends grades and standardized test scores.

Consider the personal statement as your personal interview on paper. It's where you can highlight your strengths, explain any weaknesses in your application, and demonstrate why you're an ideal fit for the university. For instance, a student applying to Indiana University Bloomington's Kelley School of Business might use their personal statement to describe how their experience running a small online business during high school sparked their passion for entrepreneurship and their desire to study in a program renowned for fostering innovation.

Why is the Personal Statement Crucial for College Applications?

The personal statement plays a pivotal role in the college application process, serving as a powerful tool to differentiate yourself from other applicants. In a sea of qualified candidates, your personal statement can be the deciding factor that sets you apart.

Admissions officers use personal statements to gauge your writing skills, critical thinking abilities, and self-awareness. More importantly, it gives them insight into your character, motivations, and potential contributions to the campus community. For Indiana University Bloomington, which values a diverse and dynamic student body, your personal statement is an opportunity to demonstrate how your unique background and experiences align with the university's mission and values.

Exemplary Personal Statement for Indiana University Bloomington

The first time I truly understood the power of media was during a local environmental crisis in my hometown. Our community was facing severe water pollution, but the issue was largely ignored by mainstream outlets. Driven by a mix of curiosity and concern, I decided to investigate and document the situation myself.

Armed with my smartphone and a borrowed DSLR camera, I spent weekends interviewing affected residents, local officials, and environmental experts. I learned to navigate the complexities of storytelling - balancing facts with human emotion, and presenting information in a compelling yet objective manner. As I compiled my findings into a short documentary, I realized I wasn't just creating content; I was giving voice to a community in need.

The response to my documentary was overwhelming. It was shared widely on social media, catching the attention of regional news stations. Within weeks, local authorities initiated clean-up efforts, and state-level discussions about stricter environmental regulations began. This experience ignited in me a passion for investigative journalism and a deep appreciation for the impact that well-crafted media can have on society.

However, this journey also exposed me to the challenges of modern media. I grappled with issues of misinformation, the pressure of deadlines, and the responsibility of fair reporting. These challenges, rather than deterring me, fueled my desire to pursue a career in journalism and media studies.

Indiana University Bloomington's Media School stands out as the perfect place for me to nurture this passion. The school's emphasis on hands-on experience through programs like the Media Living Learning Center aligns perfectly with my belief in learning by doing. I'm particularly excited about the opportunity to work with The Indiana Daily Student, where I can hone my investigative skills while contributing to meaningful journalism.

Moreover, IU Bloomington's interdisciplinary approach resonates with my diverse interests. The ability to combine journalism courses with classes in environmental science or public policy will allow me to develop a well-rounded perspective crucial for addressing complex global issues through media.

As I look to the future, I envision myself as a journalist who not only reports news but also drives positive change. I want to tell stories that matter, amplify unheard voices, and contribute to a more informed and engaged society. With its world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and commitment to fostering critical thinkers, I believe Indiana University Bloomington is the ideal environment for me to grow into the journalist I aspire to be.

My experience with the water pollution documentary taught me the value of perseverance, empathy, and ethical reporting. These are qualities I'm eager to further develop at IU Bloomington. I'm ready to immerse myself in the vibrant campus community, collaborate with diverse peers, and push the boundaries of my capabilities.

In choosing Indiana University Bloomington, I'm not just selecting an education; I'm embracing a transformative journey that will equip me to make a meaningful impact through media. I'm excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the potential to contribute to the rich legacy of journalism and media innovation at IU Bloomington.

Crafting a compelling personal statement for Indiana University Bloomington is a journey of self-reflection and articulation. It's your opportunity to showcase not just your achievements, but your potential, your passions, and your unique perspective. Remember, the admissions committee wants to understand who you are beyond your grades and test scores. They're looking for students who will contribute to the diverse and dynamic community at IU Bloomington.

As you write your personal statement, stay true to your authentic voice. Highlight experiences that have shaped you, challenges you've overcome, and goals you're passionate about pursuing. Make connections between your past experiences, your current aspirations, and how Indiana University Bloomington fits into your future plans. Whether you're drawn to the renowned programs, the research opportunities, or the vibrant campus culture, articulate why IU Bloomington is the right fit for you.

Don't underestimate the power of revision and feedback. Take the time to refine your statement, ensuring it's clear, concise, and compelling. And remember, while tools like the Gauth AI Personal Statement Writer can be helpful in getting started, your final statement should reflect your unique voice and experiences.

Your personal statement is more than just a part of your application – it's your chance to make a lasting impression. Approach it with thoughtfulness, authenticity, and enthusiasm, and you'll be well on your way to crafting a statement that stands out to the admissions committee at Indiana University Bloomington.
