Could someone check out my covering letter and say if it was ok? I have already sent it to the University, just a small feedback would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
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)

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...
