I.       SOP/ESSAY/WRITING SAMPLE

Writing

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice.
What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay of no more than 650 words,
using the prompt to inspire and structure your response.
Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.)

 

*          Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

*          Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?

*          Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

*          Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?

*          Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

 

Additional Information (250-650 words)

Please provide an answer below if you wish to provide details of circumstances or qualifications not reflected in the application.

 

University of Michigan Supplement

*          Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. (Approximately 250 words)

*          Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School (including preferred admission and dual degree programs) to which you are applying at the University of Michigan. How would that curriculum support your interests? (500 words maximum)

(From Online Application)

 

II.    Additional note for Int’l Applicant

F-1

Most international students use the F-1 temporary student visa. To qualify for it, you must offer evidence that you will be enrolled full-time during the academic year. You can do so once you are admitted and confirm your intent to enroll. After we receive proof of full financial support, U-M will send you a Form I-20 to start the process of obtaining your visa. Once you have filled it out, you can take the form to a United States Embassy or a Consular Official and apply for the visa.

Note: If you already are studying in the United States and have an F-1 visa, you need to follow the transfer procedures explained on your new University of Michigan I-20 form on page two. You are required to present your new Michigan I-20 to advisors at our International Center within the first few days following enrollment at U-M. (An InternationalCenter advisor will be glad to assist you.)

 

Note: If you are a Canadian citizen who has been admitted to the University, confirmed your intent to enroll, and have proven that you have funding, you do not need a visa. Instead, at the port of entry you will be required to present the following:

·         Your passport or proof of Canadian citizenship

·         A certificate of eligibility for non-immigrant status (which is the I-20 or DS-2019 we provide)

·         Evidence of adequate funding for your proposed program of study

You will then be issued an I-94 card indicating your student visa status.

Please note that figures are estimated for the year 2013-2014. The figure for “Living Expenses” includes room, food, books, local transportation, miscellaneous expenses, and the mandatory health insurance fees. The estimated additional cost for a spouse is $1,122/month ($13,464/12-month year); and for each child, $594/month ($7,128/12-month year). To estimate costs for fall 2014 or later, you may use an average increase of 10% per year as a guide.
