WHAT IS IT
Purposes of a College Admission Letter
A college admission letter is written by students for the following purposes:

1. to express their main reason for choosing a certain school for college;
and
2. to persuade the admissions committee that they are a good fit for the
school.
Common Features of a College Admission Letter

 Heading
The heading contains the return address with the date on the last line.
 Inside Address
The inside address is the recipient's address.
 Salutation

lOMoARcPSD|41559880
Use the same name as the inside address, including the personal title.
If you know the person and typically address them by their first name,
it is acceptable to use only the first name in the salutation (for
example: Dear Lucy:). In all other cases, however, use the personal
title and last/family name followed by a colon. Leave one line blank
after the salutation.
 Body
The body is the meat of your letter. For block and modified block letter
formats, single space and left justify each paragraph. Be sure to leave
a blank line between each paragraph, however, no matter the format.
Be sure to also skip a line between the salutation and the body, as
well as the body and the close.
 Complimentary Close
The complimentary close is a short and polite remark that ends your
letter. The close begins at the same justification as your date and one
line after the last body paragraph. Capitalize the first word of your
closing and leave four lines for a signature between the close and the
sender’s name. A comma should follow the closing.
 Signature
Skip at least four lines after the close for your signature, and then
type out the name to be signed.

The Body of the Admission Letter
What you write in the body of the admission letter is very important. Your
message should be clear, concise, and precise enough to set you apart from
the other applicants and to make the admissions officer think that you
might be a good addition to the school.
 Paragraph 1: State the reason why you want to be accepted in the

program or course that the school is offering. Briefly, you can tell how
you came to learn about that program. Also, you can say why you
have chosen the school among others that offer a similar course.
 Paragraph 2: State your career goal and what you wish to pursue and
achieve by the time you graduate from the school. Then write about
your most positive characteristics (determination, passion, and
creativity, for example) that would help you achieve your goal. Also,
you can share a unique but relevant detail about your life that has
encouraged or inspired you to choose the course and the school.

lOMoARcPSD|41559880
 Paragraph 3: Mention the documents that you are sending together

with the letter. Also, you can express your hope for being considered
in your chosen program.
Tips in Writing a College Admission Letter
1. Be honest and sincere in telling your reason for choosing the school.
Avoid superlatives, such as “Your university has the best students in
engineering, and I just simply want to be part of the best.”
2. Tell your story in an interesting manner. Find an angle that makes
your story fresh and captivating.
3. Write specific details. Do not simply state your goal and say that you
would like to achieve it. Make sure you give concrete reasons for
pursuing that goal.
4. Choose your words well. Use words that are clear and easy to
understand. Avoid highfalutin words.
5. Revise and proofread your letter. Once you are done writing it, it
would be good to set it aside for a couple of hours (or even days, if
time permits) and look at it again. Ensure that there are no errors; a
simple spelling error can detract from an otherwise well-written
admission letter.

um#curriculum
Preparing the application letter:
 Research the college.

statement, culture, and program offerings. This will suggest that you
appreciate and value the school, and that you take your application
seriously.
 State your purpose for applying. Provide a clear and convincing
reason for choosing the institution.
 Mention your academic interests. Explain how the college fits your
interests well.
 Highlight your qualities. Market yourself by describing your
strengths, achievements, and contribution to community.
 Explain your vision for yourself and how the college can help you
realize it. Talk about your career plans and explain how you think
the college can equip you with relevant skills and competence.
 Be concise.
 Use a suitable letter format.
 Edit/proofread your letter.

Sample Letter
798 San Jose Street

Dumaguete City
May 7, 2016
Dr. Reynaldo Rivera

Dean, School of Public Affairs
Silliman University, Dumaguete City
Dear Dr. Rivera:
After doing much research about colleges and universities that have a Public
Affairs program, I am applying to Silliman University because of the
outstanding reputation and the exceptional reviews that I have read from
other recent graduates.
Currently, I am just beginning my journey and I am ready to take the

undergraduate studies program. My ultimate goal is to finish Bachelor in
Public Affaits (BPA) at Silliman University. Once I have completed my
undergraduate course, I intend to pursue further studies in the same field,
so I can be fully equipped for public service and governance. I am sure this
is the correct career path as I grew up in a family where my father was a city
councilor and my mother was a social worker. Both of my parents are
graduates of Silliman University and I have seen how dedicated they have
been to serving people. My goal therefore is to become a passionate public
servant like my parents, and I believe that Silliman University School of
Public Affairs can adequately prepare me for my chosen career.
I have attached my transcript of records, application essay, letters of

recommendation and other pertinent documents. Thank you for your time
and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
MEGAN REYES
