The subject that is said in one place may be considered a negative point. So how do we know what to say and what not to say? . If there is such a guide, read it carefully. In this guide, it may be said that how many pages should your letter of motivation be, what questions should you answer, and... if you don't read this guide and don't follow the principles that the university asked you, what will happen :) They say that this side is even the most obvious thing He did not comply with what we asked him to do (for example, he wrote 3 pages instead of 2 pages), which is not a good sign at all. The second is to know the university. Get information such as university rank. The position and importance of that university in the field you want to study; Also, its importance in the industry (some universities have a specific relationship with the industry, which may be mentioned on the university's website). Even check the geographical location of the university. I remember one of my friends wrote in his motivation letter that I am very happy to be able to join this great university. And this was while that university was one of the smallest universities in that country :)) The third point of knowing the program (the program is different from the major): for example, you want to study psychology. You look around and find a program that leads to a master's degree in psychology. You naturally know the field. Know that special program. What is their approach to this field? What courses do they offer and... The fourth thing is to know the professors, their activities, their researches, and also the projects of the students of that field. Many times, you can see the projects and activities of the students of that field on the university website, which gives a good idea of what, for example, the graduate or doctoral students of that field are doing. Motivation letter is known by different names: Motivation Letter Statement of Purpose Letter of Interest As I said, these two are different: Cover letter / Personal statement Personal statement is usually used to express problems. For example, you talk about the hardships of your studies. Now these difficulties may be scientific or social or cultural or any form. This letter is mostly used to get scholarships and funds.
