Mg would like to study at Univorsty of Louusuile for the period July te Decemiser 2019. Lcadn While other universitites typically have a ranking list that is used to give an indication of a student's academic standing, there is no direct equivalent here at NTNUs Faculty of Medicine. In this Faculty course grades are pass/fail. However, students are given “points” for each exam thus giving students an idea as to what level they stand and where they need to work a bit harder. These points may not be used as an official criterion as the logic for a “gradeless” system would then be lost. We do, however, have other ways of evaluating a student which are of a more general character, for example, has the student passed the exams and is the student motivated. In the case of |, We have recelved his file and see that ‘«. has passed all his Lt; exams and with “points” that indicate that he is a strong student. In additior are impressed with higyfnotivation to study abroad at University of Louisville and-his ‘a bparent willingness to work hard and we believe thatshe will be a fine ambassador for NTNU and an academic asset to the University of Louisville. On this basis, the Faculty of Medicine at NTNU recommends ‘1 as a candidate for exchange with University of Louisville.

The information below from UC — Berkeley provides some excellent tips on what to include and what not to include, UC-Berkeley also fhas some samples that you might want to look at, REFERENCE: HTTP:/CAREER. BERKELEY. EDU/GRAD/GRADSTATEMENT.STM GRADUATE SCHOOL - STATEMENT Graduate and professional schools often require some sort of writton statement as a part of the application. The terminology differs, but may include "statement of purpose," “personal statement," “letter of intent," “personal narrative," etc. Some statements require rather specific information-for example, the applicant's intended area of study within a graduate field. Others suggest subjects which should be addressed specifically. Still others are quite unstructured, leaving the applicant free to address a wide range of matters. Some applications call for one statement, while others require responses to a series of six or more questions, ranging from 250 to 750 words each. The importance of the statement varies from school to school and from field to field. Determine your purpose in writing the statement Determine the content of your statement Determine your approach and style of the statoment Words and phrases to avoid without explanation Determine your purpose in writing the statement Usually the purpose is to persuade the admissions committee that you are an applicant who should be chosen. You may wish to show that you have the ability and motivation to succeed in your field, or you may wish to show the committee that, on the basis of your experience, you are the kind of candidate who will do well in the field. Whatever its purpose, the content must be presented in a manner that will give coherence to the whole statement. + Pay attention to the purpose throughout the statement so that extraneous material is left out. = Pay attention to the audience (committee) throughout the statement. Remember that your audience is made up of professionals in their field, and you are not going to tell them how they should act or what they should be. You are the amateur. Miutgoigsttemenetpupose doe
