Write a good admission letter

In 2011, I went to the University of Copenhagen School of Oral Health Sciences (OdontSchool) in order to get my teeth treated by dentist students. When I sat in the dentist’s chair, I said to the dentist student working on my teeth that he must have had a very high average in his upper-secondary school that it could earn him admission to the OdontSchool. To my surprise, he said that he actually did not have high grades in upper-secondary school, and that the only reason that he was offered admission was that he wrote a very good admission letter. Right then and there, I decided to learn all about writing good admission letters. To cut a long story short, I attended many courses and workshops to learn and master writing good admission letters, and since then I have gained admission to any university programme I have applied for, any discipline at both Bachelor and Master level. I gained admission to the law faculty of UCPH in 2012, one of 800 applicants competing for only 19 available seats, and I was one of the 19 that was offered a seat. I then applied to study English at UCPH, and, again, I got admitted because I submitted a very good admission letter with my application. Later on I decided to study psychology at UCPH, and again I was admitted. I also got admitted at Linguistics at Master level and Middle Eastern Studies also at Master level at Århus University in Denmark and UCPH, respectively, due to having submitted very good admission letters. I applied for so many universities because it took me a while to realise what I truly loved to study. Finally, I ended up accomplishing my education at English Studies at UCPH, with Psychology as my minor subject. My point here is that I have the basic knowledge, experience and expertise to help you write great admission letters that will definitely increase your chances of getting admission to your desired university and discipline.

Key points in writing good admission letters

This section shares personal experience gained from writing admission letters. As described above, this approach has served me well and gained me admission to my desired programmes and universities.

  • Remember that universities need you more than you need them, because students – you - are their “customers” and hence their source of revenues. So, always go with the right attitude and mind-set that it is in their best interest that you would be admitted.
  • Universities grant admission to those students (customers) who can convince them that they will not waste any money that the university spends on them and you will accomplish graduating from your studies.
  • Now, you should write a persuasive and objective argument that will convince the university that you will be an eager and active student and that you will complete your studies successfully.
  • Here, you need to know the academic writing techniques on writing convincing arguments, some of them as follows.
  • You should convince them that you are completely familiar with the discipline you apply for, with the subjects they offer and with all the rules and regulations of the university. Moreover, you should convince them that this discipline and education programme is exactly what you love to work with and that you are capable of accomplishing it successfully.
  • How do you do that? By collecting data about your desired discipline and programme, the subjects they offer, the rules of the university, exams condition and so on, and mentioning them in your argument.
  • Then, you should convince them that you are capable of accomplishing the education programme. You do that by referencing to the education, background and activities that have qualified you for submitting this current application, and using them as support for introducing yourself as a student who is already familiar with their education programme as a new student.
  • At this point, you should read your own argument thoroughly and look at it with the eyes of the university admission staff and evaluate your writing critically. Spots as many possible points of criticism as you can to your own argument.
  • Then, you should reject the points of criticism and any counter argument by substantiating and supporting your initial arguments based on your educational background and/or previous work experience.
  • Finally, you should show your enthusiasm for studying and contributing to society after having completed your academic programme.
