For Education Purpose Only (呵呵,这可是老美写的PS,别抄啊:)
As a double major in Anthropology and Psychology at the University of Rhode
Is land, I have gained a strong background in both fields. My background is
especially strong in physical anthropology, my primary field of interest.
Physical
anthropology consumes my life; I do not study it because I find it somewhat
in teresting but because I am devoted to it; I want to make it my life. In
additi
on to maintaining a high GPA throughout my college career, and making the
Dean’s list several times, I have also worked hard as a supervisor at Brooks
Pharmacy for the past five years. Working my own way through college not only
demonstrates my determination to gaining a high quality education and the
seriousness with which I treat academics, but also attests to my leadership
ability,maturity, and responsibility, both as a supervisor and as a student at the
University of Rhode Island.
My primary goal in applying to your graduate program is to prepare myself
for a career in forensic anthropology. Interested in furthering the current
body of research and in improving techniques used in the identification of human
remains, I am very committed to pursuing forensic anthropology and believe
your graduate program in anthropology will provide me with an excellent
foundation in the area of physical and forensic anthropology. With a Masters and Ph.D.,
I will be well prepared to lead a very promising career. While I have no
doubt the program will push me to my limits, I am confident that I can face the
rigorous challenges posed by graduate study and thrive under the demanding
environment that advanced studies entail. From my transcripts, you will see that
not only am I a well-balanced student, I actually thrive in rigorous, upper
level courses, courses akin to graduate-level courses. Armed with the confidence
that
I can excel at difficult courses, I believe I can achieve the highest level
of success and satisfaction by taking the most demanding graduate program
available.
In addition to my ability to excel in the classroom, I have demonstrated a
proficiency in all aspects of conducting research. Research has become a
fundamental part of my college career, and I hope it will become the primary
component
of my future. As a sophomore at the University of Rhode Island, I designed a
research project entitled "Grooming and Affiliative Behavior in Three
Species of Non-Human Primates" under the guidance of Dr. Su Boatright-Horowitz in
the
Psychology Department at URI. My research proposal gained approval from the
In stitutional Care and Use Committee at URI and at the Roger William Park and
Zoo where the three species of non-human primates (Gibbons, Sakis, and
Lemurs) included in my study are kept. In addition to writing a successful research
proposal, I also wrote and received a small funds grant from the University of
Rhode Island in order to conduct my research. By being intimately involved in
every aspect of research, from proposal and grant writing to data collection
and analysis, I have learned what it takes to be a researcher, but more than
that , I have learned how fulfilling and interesting research can be.
In the spring of 2005,I will be presenting my results at a poster
presentation
at the University of Rhode Island, and am planning to eventually publish my
findings. Not only has this experience shown me that I am capable of
excelling
in conducting research, but it has also allowed me to develop a love for
the hands on learning that is so crucial to successful research. In my final
semester at URI, I will be participating in an ongoing research project
concerning brain function and attention span under the direction of Dr. Dominic
Valentino,
a professor in the psychology department at URI. This project will
undoubtedly further advance my academic skills and reinforce my passion for research.
Physical anthropology is more than just my primary area of education; it
has also become my hobby and lifestyle. The questions posed and answered via the
study of physical anthropology have fascinated me for a very long time and
have
stimulated me to ask and seek to answer further questions. With my mind set
on
the very specific goal of preparing myself as excellently as possible for a
future in the field of forensic anthropology, I am fully confident that,
with the ability to pursue my education at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst,I will not only be able to fulfill my dream, but to contribute
substantially to the university as well.
