Personal statement for university application I have managed to get my B.S. and Master's degree at two top universities in Iran. I think publishing three journal papers about my field of study is one of my greatest accomplishments during my education. I also managed to learn English quite well which is necessary for continuing my education abroad. I got very high scores of TOEFL and GRE exam which can prove my claims. I was not only a good student at college who is very good at his studies, but also a good contributor to my society. I managed to work as a volunteer at a charity organization which is providing education facilities for working children. Therefore I think I can be a good Ph.D. student for the university. I am hard worker as well as resourceful and I think I can contribute to the project which you are working on already. I've managed to specialize in this field and my publications show that. As a result I think I can be the candidate you are looking for. I think I'll have gotten my Ph.D. degree within 5 years from now on. I also hope that I'll have published more journal papers by that time. I'd like to have started my own company after finishing the PhD. course and have provided some job opportunities for younger students. I also hope that I'll have become a more mature and sophisticated person at the end of the course which might be the best reward of studying at the university for me beside the educational goals.
