statement of purpose

<p>My topic:</p>

<p>The statement of purpose will provide an opportunity to explain any extenuating circumstances that you feel could add value to your application. You may also want to explain unique aspects of your academic background or valued experiences you may have had that relate to your academic discipline. The statement of purpose is not meant to be a listing of accomplishments in high school or a record of your participation in school-related activities. Rather, this is your opportunity to address the admissions committee directly and to let us know more about you as an individual, in a manner that your transcripts and other application information cannot convey.</p>

<p>I am kind of confused at what to do. This is for transfer admissions. Would it be okay to do the first pargarph on the experiances that made me want to pursue the degree I am going for?</p>
