✒️ How to Capture an Admissions Committee with Your Motivation Letter
What many applicants underestimate is that up to 70% of a motivation letter’s impact comes from the opening. The first paragraph determines whether the admissions officer keeps reading or moves on.
That’s why we curated a collection of real motivation letters from students admitted to top universities, including Ivy League schools. These examples show how strong introductions are built — with clarity, structure, and purpose.
