Your statement should address the following questions: 1.

If your research interests are inter- or trans-disciplinary, please articulate linkages with those other fields. 6. What are your career goals and how would a Ph.D. in social work help you achieve those goals? 7. Are there any other factors you feel are important in our evaluation of your application? Please organize your personal statement as a cohesive essay, rather than a list of discrete answers to the questions posed.
