Dear Name of Head of Admissions:
After doing much research about colleges in the area that have a Psychology program, I am
applying to Ohio State University because of the outstanding reputation and the exceptional
reviews that I have read from other recent graduates. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about
Psychology program at the Ohio State University because of the graduate psychology programs
that are offered.
Currently, I am just beginning my journey and ready to dive into the undergraduate studies
program. My ultimate goal is to finish the Psychology program at Ohio State University. Once I
have completed my undergraduate in psychology, my desire is to continue my studies and enter
the graduate program for psychology where I may be a counselor dealing with children. I am
sure this is the correct career path, as I grew up in a family where my father was a counselor
and my mother a social worker. My father is a graduate of the Ohio State University, and my
mother a graduate of OU University. Considering both of my parents have similar career paths, I
feel like I would be honoring them and their dedication to helping others by entering this field of
work.
Pursuing a psychology major is my long-term goal, and I would like to start by earning my
Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Ohio State University. I have attached my application, as
well as transcripts, an essay, and all of my letters of recommendation as defined in my
admissions packet. I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from
you soon.
Sincerely,

Dear Name of Head of Admissions:
This letter is a formal request for admission to Name of College. I have looked at several
colleges that offer Bachelor’s degrees in Environmental Applications, and chose Name of

extensive covering many more aspects of global warming than other colleges in this state. For
example, you offer courses on the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Forest
Stewardship Council and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design among other
things.
My aim is to participate in forming government environmental policy, and believe that Name of
College is the best option to prepare me for this challenge. I have worked for the past two years
in a waste management company and helped create innovative approaches to recycling certain
items. Learning as much as I can about sustainable living in different aspects of commercial
