To begin with, the very motive that inspired me to apply to your university is the belief and impression your University gave me. This is to mean that I feel that your university is in a position to provide education in the field of Economics in the maximum possible way.
The prompt and indispensable information I gathered about your university from the web and friends I have came to know that your university is the best choice to make. With regard to the inclination and experience I have in Economics I can say the following, it has since my time of early childhood, so to say, that I have been exposing myself to business school. I feel that I am good at calculations and management this I believe has direct attachment with my chosen field of study under concern.
Besides, the very fact that I am good at Art sciences especially in mathematics and physics will I believe help me to easily untie some mathematics equations involved in Economics. Moreover, I have a great vision in relation to Business I would like to be a very successful Economist not only in my home country Ethiopia but also across the world as well. I wish to acquire every and each possibility that your university is going to give me and change it into a fruitful experience.
Thus, it is my hope and conviction that the admission board of your university sees the greatness I can achieve by the persistent and consistent working habit of mine. I assure you if I get admitted to your university you will not regret it.
