Personal Statement:
Well-written statement of interest that clearly explains why you want to go to graduate school. What are your goals? What motivates you to study Political Science? Why do you think Temple’s Department would be a good fit for you?
Recommendation Letter:
Ask letter writers who can write you a strong letter of recommendation and speak to your potential as a graduate student. To this end, letters from faculty members with whom you have worked will be more informative than letters from non-academics. For example, the your GPA and GRE is not a perfect indicator of your potential as a student, and your letter writers can help us place these scores in context to you.
Writing Sample:
Choose a writing sample that exemplifies your best work. The paper need not come from a political science class, but should be a research paper that demonstrates your ability to synthesize and analyze arguments and evidence.
