Dear Sir,



I wish to apply as a Transfer Undergraduate in Cell Biology/Neuroscience in your esteemed University.I have completed a three year Bachelor degree (Biochemistry) in with distinction anda GPA of 3.82.



In my three years of Biochemistry, my most exciting periods were during the Anatomy & Physiology sessions where I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the complex yet perfectly engineered system of the brain. Additionally, I secured 85/100 in the University examination for Cell biology. After completing my Bachelors course, I continued working in our family business whereby I constantly interacted with our employees on their health & psychological issues. The combination of my courses in Biochemistry along with consultation kindled my interest in pursuing something that would combine the two- Cell Biology/Neuroscience.



I decided to choose because American Universities impart unparalleled opportunity

to transgress the tenets of science & help students scale new heights.

I browsed extensively through several Universities and found your University has a milieu replete with strong & versatile academic programs in the field of Neuroscience, the environment which would give me unbridled freedom to explore new ventures in the interesting field of Neuroscience.



At this juncture, I assure you Sir that you will find a dedicated, hard-working and capable individual in me. I am confident that your institution will be able to satiate my thirst in this eminent field.



Please find my Curriculum Vitae enclosed herewith for your reference.

I eagerly look forward to hearing from you.



Yours truly,

(my name)

Savvy,

Let me give you my humble (for a change) feedback on your résumé. Your english is far better than mine so don't take everything I say for granted and trustworthy (but you do already know this, don't you ?).

'In my three years of Biochemistry, my most exciting periods...' : too many 'my' in my (?) opinion here. You don't want to sound like it's all about you, 'cause it's al

Thank you very much for your inputs Waiti.Americans do understand what's a CV though.

I'm very happy today because I just learnt I have been admitted to the above University which was my dream university!! Woohooo[<:o)]

However I hope an American or someone who's used to American English also reviews my essay and rates it. Thank you for your suggestions/comments.

Congratulations to you Savvy !!! I think I will speak for the whole englishforum.com clan when I say that we're all very proud of your achievements
Is this admission for next year or this year ? I would think it's quite late for this year ? Or maybe it only starts next semester ?
Somehow I feel sad though 'coz it means very soon you won't have time left to chat with us...

Sooooooo Nona has just agreed to bring a cake (and custard of course)... I can take care of the Champomy (non alcoholic champagne-like cider)... We can invite 3P over (and his posse) since he appears to be professional entertainer... What/who else have I missed ?
Now we should agree on a venue...
