I have always had an interest in science-based subjects, especially those relating to biology. Whilst undertaking my A-level Biology course, the module energy and ecosystems was of particular interest to me. My interest in the natural world, and study of science encouraged me to further my understanding in this area by applying to study environmental biology at degree level. I wish to take this course to enable me to develop scientific skills that will provide me witha greater understanding of the environment and factors that affect it. I am also studying Chemistry and Maths at A-level. The practical element of my chemistry course involves an understanding of procedures and precautions necessary throughout all science-based experiments; I feel that this understanding will improve my ability in practical elements of the course. After studying A-level maths, I feel being able to interpret numerical data at a high level will also enable me to develop my understanding of any numerical information that features inthe courseI am keen on sports and outdoor pursuits. I have enjoyed a range of activities from countryside walks to kayaking and abseiling. Because of this I feel I would particularly enjoy the fieldwork the course offers. I have been able to combine this interest in sport with a part time job as a leisure attendant at local sport centres. As part of this post I was asked to lead a youth sports and activities group which aims to promote sport among young people in my area. This activity has also allowed me to introduce other young people to activities that I have enjoyed. This role has also helped me to develop skills that would help me while I am at university. The sports group involves arranging individual sessions as well as trips outThis has improved my organisational skills, which has reflected my ability to combine part-time work with college effectively. Working as part of a team and serving members of the public has also improved my social skills, making me more confident when working with othersI wish to study at university, not only for the knowledge that I will gain from the course, but alsofor the experience of university life has to offer. During my two years at college I have participated in various activities. For example, I represented the college at an open day, volunteered as a collage council representative for my form group, participated in a blood donation scheme and was also involved in the shoebox appeal. These activities meant that I have to be confident, approachable and polite. I feel these are characteristics that will enableme to get involved with student life at universityMy ambition is to participate in conservation work abroad, before gaining experience in a career based in this area. I feel the experience outlined above and the knowledge I will gain from the course will enable me to achieve this ambition.Personal Statement Sample - biology生物2009-10-10 11:22:42 阅读563 评论0 字号：大中小As with science in general, I find it interesting, often fascinating, and I feel that I could gain much from studying it at university University has always appealed to me because of the wealth of experiences it has to offer as a student. Although I enjoy English Literature and Chemistry: I am especially keen to study Biology and Psychology. For me, the main appeal of the course lies in the variety of topics that will be covered. The aspects of Biology I find particularly interesting are neuroscience and how the immune system functions and responds. In Psychology, I am very interested in what makes people unique and how different factorsshape our personalityAt present I am employed at McDonald's where within one year of work I got promoted to a Floor Manager. Then I rapidly got promoted as a shift Manager. Being at this position it gives me numerous of responsibilities. For instance I am responsible for the whole resturant, ensuring the good communication flow exists between the crew members, correct procedures are followed, restaurant goals are achieved and ensuring that every customer gets 100%customer satisfactionThis experience especially allowed me to use my interpersonal skills to the full. In my reference, my employer remarked on my willingness to learn, my enthusiasm and initiative as well as my ability to work independently and as part of a teamI have a variety of hobbies outside school. When time allows, I find playing football, tennis, and listening music, a change from my studies. My other pursuits include more physical activitiessuch as attending the gym, dancing and cyclingAt present, I am putting most of my effort into achieving the best grades in my 'course to allow me to reach the next target in my education. I understand that university life will be very challenging, but I am confident that it will give me the best chance to achieve my potential, and lead the way forward to a successful career. I hope that this application indicates that I am apromising candidate.Personal Statement - Bioengineering生物2009-10-10 11:21:41 阅读364 评论0 字号：大中小"Scientists investigate that which already is. Technologists create that which has never been."I chose engineering as a life pursuit because I wish to engage in both. This choice was enhanced by a personal yearning to apply all that I learn; I wanted to be able to implement my physical and mathematical abilities in real life situations. I feel higher education would enableme to realise this aim.Although all aspects of physics and engineering intrigue me, I am particularly interested in the medical application of these two disciplines. When considering which field I might enter I realised that the only discipline that appealed to me, other than engineering, was medicine.Having researched the crossover between medicine and engineering I decided thatbioengineering provided the perfect blend.In order to improve my grasp of A-level Physics and Mathematics, and develop a better understanding of the options available to me in Higher Education, I have made extensive use of the online lectures of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I was particularly receptive to the teaching methods of the Physics lecturer, Professor Lewin.Supplementary reading has widened my horizons and encouraged me to examine elements above and beyond the A-level course. Some of the books I have encountered include 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking and also 'Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland' by Nobel Prize winner, George Gamow. The latter was more than simply 'a physics book' to me - the presentation of the physical principals within a love story proved to be extremely captivating.Following the debate regarding students' declining abilities and the 'dumbing down' of the A-levels I have undertaken a study of material from the older, and in my opinion more challenging, 1996 syllabus. Books such as 'Essential Principles of Physics' by Whelan and Hodgson have been particularly enlightening in this respect.I feel that theoretical concepts are easier to understand and more easily absorbed when they are tangible and therefore I have applied to the Year in Industry scheme, hoping that this will enhance the application of my mathematical and physical skills. Due to personal issues during the A-level exam period I was unable to achieve my potential and did not meet all my predicted grades. In order to amend this I have chosen t o retake some modules during my gap year whilst at the same time studying a new subject and expanding my language skills.I consider that my multicultural upbringing, including 12 years in Japan, Dubai and the Sudan have led to me being a well-rounded and colourful person. As a consequence of this time I benefited by gaining knowledge about different traditions, an insight into diverse cultures, anda furtherance in my linguistic abilities. This granted me the ability to adapt to different environments swiftly and comfortably, which would explain my enthusiasm for meeting new people. Moreover, the contrast in the living standards in these different environments has shown me the importance of science and technology in our lives.Professionals have confirmed for me that bioengineering is an intellectually challenging field, requiring commitment and motivation. I have always believed in fully devoting myself to all thatI do, and with my particular interests and experiences, I feel that only an opportunity to studybioengineering at university will enable me to express my abilities in their entirety.生物个人陈述模板生物2009-09-17 10:32:31 阅读344 评论1 字号：大中小I will never forget my experience of working alongside doctors to fight against the horrible disease, AA, in China in 200X. This work taught me the great impact of disease control and prevention and motivated me to apply for the biostatistics program at Yale University, with the ultimate career goal of becoming an influential professional or researcher in the field. I firmly believe that my constant thirst for knowledge, high regard for the work in the biomedical and public health fields, and my courageousness will drive my graduate studies and help me achieve personal and professional success.I first became interested in biostatistics when the AA epidemic breakout in China in 200X. As a memberof the University Red Cross Association, I was responsible for assisting the university hospital to publicize disease prevention methods, distribute medicine, and complete health surveys. I learned from that process the value of survey dates in supplying useful strategies for disease prediction, prevention and control. Afterward, when I served as Vice President of the Student Union, I organized an introductory lecture and health survey about hereditary disease for the local community. I truly enjoyed these voluntary public health services, as I was able to use my knowledge to enhance the quality of life for my fellow man. These achievements gave me the determination to fully devote myself to public healthservices and global health care development.My academic training to this point has provided me with a wide range of general knowledge and skills related to the biological sciences. This training is an excellent first step in preparing for the professional career that I desire. As an undergraduate student in bioengineering at BB University, I acquired a solid foundation in the theoretical concepts associated with genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry. I also gained knowledge in the several areas of industrial significance, includingbio-products, fermentation, and biotechnology. In addition to the comprehensive studies in my major field, I received as well extensive training in mathematics and computer science, both of which were of great benefit to my study of biostatistics, an important area in various industrial and scientific research efforts.For example, as I learned during my summer internship as an Assistant Researcher at the DD Pharmaceutical Company in 200Y, biostatistics has a vital role in the development and marketing of new medicines, in the control of the quality of products, and in the tracking of consumer trends, attitudes and purchases. I have also worked as an undergraduate research assistant for a map-based cloning project in the ZZ Biology Center, where I used statistical methods to develop WW genetic markers and to calculate the probabilities of recombination. These hands-on training activities gave me a clearer understanding of and a deeper insight into the biostatistics of biological and clinical problems.I look forward to furthering my knowledge of biostatics at Yale University. Indeed, I believe that Yale’s dynamic environment coupled with the emphasis placed on both statistics theory and real-life biological issues in the biostatics program will prepare me well to stand out in future competition. Therefore, my well considered decision to choose your program will certainly help me realize my dreams. I am confidentthat with Yale’s beneficial guidance and training, I will be well on the way to becoming a notedprofessional in the area of public health.bioengineering personal statement生物2009-09-16 23:43:57 阅读228 评论0 字号：大中小1. Tough memories played a key role in my decisionI am determined to pursue graduate studies engineering in a large part because both of my grandmothers died because the hospitals did not have the facilities to give them prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. My paternal grandmother suffered from cancer, but he doctor did not know it was cancer until was already to late. A few years later, my maternal grandmother passed away because of a sudden heart attack. To this day, my mother’s words at her funeral till echo in my ears:“If only she could wear a portable monitor for heart disease, and if only there was a portable cardiac pacemaker in theambulance.”On the strength of my strong performance in the 1994 National University Entrance Examinations, I won acceptance into the Tsinghua University, China’s top engineering school. Without any hesitation, I chose to major in biomedical engineering in its Department of Electrical Engineering. In making that choice, I hoped that, one day, I could be more of a help to patients than doctors, since a doctor treats patients one at a time, but the more effective medical devices I develop can help many people all the time.2. My solid academic recordWith a clear objective in my mind, I made myself a “gifted student” recognized by the department. In my class of 32 students, I was consistently a top student. My GPA for basic courses was 3.75/4.0 and my GPA for specialized courses was as high as 3.87/4.0. In my second year in Tsinghua University, my academic ranking and comprehensive ranking were both the highest in my class, and I was awarded the first ranking excellent student scholarship that year. I was particularly strong in mathematics and physics, which I took as fundamental to every branch of science and technology.3. My independent research abilityAs a recognized gifted student, I was one of the first students in my year to be given the opportunity of taking part in actual research. In July 1996, I joined the research group for biomedical instrumentation and signal processing, led by Professor Cheng Jiajie, a noted Chinese term EEG signals. A joint project between Professor Cheng and the National Research Center for Engineering and Technology on Appliance for Medical Treatment and Health Care, the system was to consist of two sub-systems. One was for sampling and recording the EEG and other physiological signals, and the other was for reviewing and analyzing the signals. I was involved in the development of both.I first built a double-T band-stop filter network for ultra-weak signals to serve as an essential part of the EEG hardware. As brain waves are extremely weak signals, only from tens to hundreds microvolt, the whole system, including the filter network, had to meet extremely stringent standards. I designed the circuit and its components meticulously. After painstaking efforts, I successfully set up the filter network.After that, professor Cheng assigned me to perfect the clinical EEG software in recognition of mycomputer skills. In a Windows-based EEG review and analysis software system, I integrated various functions of automatic and manual data scrolling, annotation, grouping, montage, block marking, data discarding and transferring into diskette, filter design and filtering, compress spectrum array, brain electrical activity map, power spectrum estimation, twelve quantity EEG analysis and statistics. This cleared away a major hassle for doctors working in the hospitals. The software system also adopts background data loading and re-sampling of data while displaying to speed up the scrolling process andreduce the doctors’ waiting time.Through this project, I was solidly trained in independent research, much more so than most of myclassmates.4. Extracurricular activitiesI was a good student not just because I studied well but also because I actively involved myself in a variety of activities. In these activities, I not only honed my leadership and communication skills but also acquired a pioneering spirit and the ability to do teamwork.For much of my undergraduate studies, I served as a member of the student union council. In 1995 and 1996, I was elected the monitor of my class. Under my leadership, my class was chosen “A Class of Good Academic Atmosphere”, a designation given to only the best group of students. To take advantage of my leadership and communication skills, the department appointed me a counselor to first-year students in the school year between September 1996 to July 1997. In this position, I advised the freshmen on the choice of courses and adaptation to the university life.Interested in the cultural and recreational activities, I helped to organize, in 1995, the First Beijing Opera Competition in Tsinghua University. In December 1996, I organized and participated in making the first music video for our class as our contribution to the department’s art festival, and it won a second prize.What I like to emphasize is that I was one of the founders of the Biomedical Club in our department. The purpose of it is to spread knowledge and exchange ideas in the rapidly developing biomedical world. During the past three years, we successfully fulfilled our goal by means of regular seminars as well asvisits to various academic institutions and hospitals.I became even more active in extracurricular activities after m third undergraduate year. In January 1997, I went on a trip to ShenZhen, China’s first and most successful “special economic zone”, as part of a social investigation group. The far-reaching economic and technical reforms taught me a lot outside my discipline. From June to August 1998, u worked in the IBM China Research Laboratory on localization and system testing for IBM WorkPad Chinese Applications. It was an extraordinary experience for me. I not only tested myself in real research, but also I learned about advanced technology and thinking. During this time, I attended the IBM Research Summer Jam 98, which was an event for IBM Research’s supplemental and summer student employees to get together and explore the future of computing. My creativity displayed in this Summer Jam won acclaim from IBM Senior Vice President Dr. Paul Horn.I believe that the team spirit, communication skills and other qualities I acquired in thee activities will beconducive to advanced research in an American university.5. Solid command of EnglishAlthough not an English major, my English proficiency is comparable to that of English majors in Chinese universities, as demonstrated by my high grades in both TOEFL and GRE. I do not just know the English language well. I can communicate as effectively in English as I do in Chinese. I believe that good communication and writing skills are indispensable to a successful researcher or engineer. My TWE score is 5.5, which is especially high for Chinese students, and my oral English is good, too, as I have many a chance to talk with my parents’ foreign colleagues and exchange different ideas and information with them when they come to China. I will take TSE this October and I am confident that I will get anotherhigh score.6. Why I decide to pursue my study abroad?Although studying in Tsinghua University has solidly grounded me for an engineering career, I have for long felt the urgency and responsibility to study abroad. From my personal experience, I realize, frankly speaking, that China’s biomedical engineering is not yet developed enough. I remember that, in September 1997 when I went to Beijing Recovery Center for “social investigation”, I found all the advanced recovery and nurse appliances displayed and used there were made abroad and the expenses were too high for ordinary people. To give you another example, the EEG system currently made in China for clinical use requires electrode check-up before operation. This always brings patients suffering because the nurses have to rub the electrode heavily on their scalp for about half an hour for ideal location. One day, a professor there brought us an EEG system imported from California, U.S.A. This system not only so lves the old problem, but also sets up a new detecting function for brain’s cognitionability.From these and other things, I know that the United State has the advanced technology and thus the original ideas, but China has quality researchers like me who can learn to do as well. I feel that I have not taken the full advantage of my intellectual capabilities. I wish to pursue more advanced studies and then improve my country’s biomedical situation. Only by doing this can I feel better when I recall my chil dhood memories, memories of my grandmothers dying needlessly. Only by doing this can I fulfil my ultimate aim to make biomedical appliances part of everybody’s life, to help provide ordinary people correct and timelytreatment and care for their illness.I have inherited from my parents’ intellectual qualities. My father, a professor of Physics at the Beijing University, and my mother, a senior engineer of Physics with the Chinese academy of Sciences. Have bestowed on me the character of diligence, resolution and perseverance as well as the ability to understand new things quickly. They have both been to several universities in U.S.A. as visiting scholars. So when I was young, I had some knowledge of universities in United States. My older brother pursued his graduate studies in MIT, where he obtained a Master of Science Degree in physics in 1992 and a Ph.D. in the Division of Health Sciences and Technology in 1996. By realizing his achievement, he has givenme tremendous encouragement and confidence because I know that I am as excellent as he is.7. I think Cornell University is an ideal place for me.Graduate studies should be both intellectually exhilarating and challenging. But to decide which university to attend is one of the biggest decisions in one’s life. Keeping these in mind, I consider Cornell University as my First Choice. A world-famous top-notch university, Cornell has a world-class faculty, advanced research facilities and a stimulating academic atmosphere, all very conducive to the development of my potential into actual ability. If I am accepted, I will Instrumentation and Diagnostics as well as Biomedical Mechanics. My solid academic foundation, independent research ability and strong background in biomedical engineering and related subjects, coupled with my determination and strong sense of responsibility, have paved the way for me to undertake advanced studies at an institution ofhigher learning like yours.生物学个人陈述生物2009-09-07 08:36:18 阅读224 评论0 字号：大中小Why should I select biology as my career? Born in a medical family for generations, I was very interested in all over around, especially in living organisms and I came into a habit of watching, touching, feeling and protecting them who become my favorite friends later. Life science is much more intriguing and fascinating to me when I made endeavor to represent Shandong Province 400,000 high-school students to go to Beijing to take part in the National Biological Olympic Context, a Pick-Out for the International Biological Olympic Context. As a result, I selected Biotechnology, the foremost interesting field in Biology, as my college major when I won acceptance into Department of Biotechnology in the College of Life Science at Peking University, the best university of China.Upon acceptance to Peking University in 1996, I was awarded consecutive scholarships for all 4 years in college. During my college years, with the systematic education, I obtained a solid academic background in chemistry and basic biology science especially in experiment skills as a preparation for future advanced research, which is also, the basis for me to do my current research project at the lab.Due to my outstanding experiment skills, in the third year of my undergraduate study, I was recommended to the State Key Lab of Microbial Resource, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science, which only 2% the students can get in, to do research on the structure and character of a new family of DNA-Binding Protein from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae(extreme environment). And independently I have been dedicating in the interaction between DNA and DNA-Binding Protein by Gel Retardation Assay, Nick Closure Assay and EMSA. This project provided me with not only considerable experiment experience including bacterial culture, expression of recombinant, and western blotting etc, but also how to plan an experiment, by consulting papers, seeking optimal conditions and selectingappropriate methods. Now my partners and I have made a great achievement of this project and we have a paper, “A Highly Conserved DNA-Binding Protein from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus Shibatae Affects DNA Supercoiling in a Temperature-Dependent Fashion”, which will be published in the NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH(4.488) in the nearer future.Furthermore, I have once, as a co-operator, helped other group investigate Archaeon ssh7 DNA binding protein and DNA interaction. With the experiment process, I am proficient in PCR and RT-PCR, southern and northern blotting, cell in-situ blotting, CsCl density gradient centrifuge, expression of recombinant protein, FPLC, protein purification and protein/enzyme activity assay, etc.In addition to academic studying and lab training, I benefit much from my college life. I joined the Green Life Association, one of the best student organizations in Peking University, and had been the minister of propagation for one year. The job has deepened my love for lives and improved my responsibility both for group and for the well-being of our earth. Moreover, all the many-sided pleasant experiences and excellent records are a great treasure to me, giving me high confidence and independence.Why to go abroad to pursue Ph.D.? I’m always thinking that the research of lif e sciences is not only interdisciplinary but also international. Besides the advanced technology, I hope to fuse the analytic way of the east and west. So I’d like to go abroad for advanced studies after my graduation in July of 2000. And besides, it is to make more research achievement in the life science and at the same time, fulfill my keen dream of standing on the foremost frontline in biology science. Why to choose your University as my graduate school? It is that she is one of the most highly regarded universities in the world and is an ideal place for ambitious youth. Why to select your program? With my experiment skills and broad academic background, I am more and more certain that I am well prepared for the further exploration into your respected program, which is very promising in the modern biology. Despite the highly competition of your admission, I still regard your research program as myfuture struggling goal.At the time being, I think I am honest, intelligently mature and psychologically ready for this goal and I believe that I can accept the challenge and will surely make success in the end. Would you accept me as one of the members of your program to fulfill my dream? I hope I can contribute my strength and intelligence to your program. You are sure to find that your investment on me is really awarding and worthwhile.Sincerely yours,Yunfei WenBiology - Personal Statement生物2009-09-07 08:35:52 阅读238 评论0 字号：大中小By applying your Ph. D. program, I am seeking to fulfill a dream in my childhood, to be a great scientist. This dream encouraged me to read a lot of books on many disciplines, since my primary school time. Although my parents had to work abroad much of the time from then on and had no time to look into my study, I had never been slack, for the dream gave me a pressure to do my best in study.In the meanwhile, my talent in mathematics helped me excel my classmates and gain outstanding grades. Besides my excellent grades in school, I won remarkable scores in various contests in Beijing and a few national contests on mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. Moreover, from 1993 to 1998, I won the Shupin Scholarship several times based on my excellent score.When I was in high school, I came to realize the great potential of life sciences. As we all know, mankind can go up to outer space or down to the bottom of the ocean, and predict the movement or state of a huge planet or an infinitesimal particle. Yet we can’t explain a lot of phenomena about ourselves or various lives around us, because lives are the most complicated systems in the world. I am sure that to explain these phenomena is what a great scientist should do, and just what I wish to do.Therefore, when I was about to take the National College Entrance Examination, I chose the college of Life Sciences in Peking University, the most famous university in China, which is dubbed as China's Harvard by President Clinton on his visit to my country. In the university, I studied at the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, which required its students to have a great ability to learn and research. With the study of a series of courses, I obtained a solid academic background in chemistry and basic biology. At the same time, I learned many skills of both general chemistry experiments and specialized biology research. From lab courses, I experienced all kinds of experiments for DNA, protein and microbe’s research and analysis.However, I realized that I need more practical experience before I step on the way to be a scientist. To enhance my research ability, I have been working as a research assistant since July 2000 in the Laboratory of Molecular Virology & Bioengineering at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for a project on the regulation of cotton fertility in plant heterosis, which is part of the National High Technology Research & Development Program (the “863 Program”), and have got great progress in the work of clone, absence and analysis of promoter’s function on the specific expressed gene in。
