Personal Statements and Statements of Purpose

Personal statements (sometimes called statements of purpose) are essays required from students applying to undergraduate, graduate, or professional school. These statements are different from a job cover letter. In such statements, you are presenting yourself as a potential student. Usually universities or colleges ask you to address specific questions, but sometimes they give only general guidelines.

There are many approaches to doing these statements. It is especially important, however, to be original, sincere, honest, and to show your interest in the school to which you are applying. It is important that your essay represent who you are – resist the urge to copy models that you find on the Internet.

Here are several sites that will help you through the process of writing the statement of purpose, or college entrance essays:

(dominic: this list of papers was originally recommended to me by Brain Noguchi @bnoguchi, and was a great start to understanding distributed systems)

Here's a selection of papers that I think you would find helpful and interesting:

Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System

The seminal paper about event ordering and concurrency. The important result is that events in a distributed system define a partially ordered set. The connection to what we're working on is fundamental, as this defines how to detect concurrent updates. Moreover, the chosen algorithm to turn the partially ordered set into a totally ordered set defines the conflict resolution algorithm.
