Candidate Statement

A candidate statement of academic purpose should discuss your academic and career objectives in a concise, sharply focused, and well-crafted essay. This statement must be completed online as part of the Online Graduate Student Application. Admissions committees are particularly interested in this statement, so it is considered a vital part of your application. Therefore, you should be as specific as possible in discussing your academic objectives and research interest. There is a 2,500-word limit for the statement of purpose on our online application. The 2,500-word limit is division-wide. Please check the website of the program to which you are applying for more specific guidance.

Writing Sample

Programs requiring a writing sample are: Anthropology, Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science, Economics, History, Comparative Human Development, Committee on International Relations, Latin American & Caribbean Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Political Science, Committee on Social Thought, and Sociology.

Writing samples are not required for the Master of Arts Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS) or for the Master of Arts in Computational Social Science but are strongly encouraged for both.

Writing samples should be uploaded into the online application and must meet the following protocol:

The proper format for a submitted writing sample is:

The writing sample must have a cover sheet and proper identification. The cover sheet must have your full name, the department to which you are applying, and the type of writing sample submitted.

The writing sample must be in English*.

The writing sample is not a paper written specifically for your application but a written work submitted for either a grade or publication. The preferred paper to submit is one closely related to the field of study you wish to pursue in the Division of Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. The paper can be one submitted for a grade in a class, a degree paper or something for publication, such as a magazine feature or journal article. Departments prefer single-author papers. However, if you must submit an item with a collaborative work, all writers’ names should be included with your name highlighted, along with a memo explaining your contribution to the work.
