15 Global UGRAD Personal Statements that


Successfully Made it to the USA
By Administrator - July 25, 2017

Personal Statement or Statement of Purpose (SOP) is considered as the missing part of the puzzle
when it comes to the selection process of Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD).
And unlike a conventional puzzle board (which consists of blocks of the same size), the Global UGRAD
personal statement is one giant block making most of the puzzle. A candidate’s selection into the
PHASE II evaluation — the interviews — depends to a greater extent on his/her personal
statement. A personal statement is a short account regarding one’s self. It works like a marketing
strategy to attract buyers (in this case people working at the USEFP). It mainly includes your personal
information (just a little so that the reader gets to know you, stuff like your interests and
personality), your academic objectives and your aims & ambitions and the reason why you think
Global UGRAD will be helpful in achieving them.

In this article, we’re going to share with you personal statements which have actually been selected
to participate in the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD). These personal
statements have been voluntarily shared by candidates who have made it to the LUCKY 200 final
participants who will be going to the USA this year for a semester exchange! 🙂

This article has been written in an effort to educate students regarding personal statement writing for
the Global UGRAD program. It is not intended to promote plagiarism, at all! Period.

We hope that you find this article useful! 🙂

GOOD LUCK! 🙂

P.S: Please bear in mind that The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) has built
a highly sophisticated anti-plagiarism system which tackles such mal-practices very efficiently. If their
system detects plagiarism of as little as 10% then your application will be DISQUALIFIED even before
it gets to the human evaluators. So please be careful! Your Global UGRAD Personal Statement should
be written by you and must represent you in its entirety.

I being the pioneer female from a semi-conservative clan of the remote desert area of Tharparkar
opted for male dominated field of electrical engineering want to set another milestone to
independently visit the most advanced, diverse cultural country on the globe. The ultimate goal is to
gain knowledge of latest advancement in the field of electrical technology especially low-cost
renewable energy sector for improvement of poor people life standard in remote areas of Pakistan.

I also want to promote soft image of majority Pakistani people having peace loving nature
contrary to extremists/terrorists, and having historic rich cultural background.

I have always been an energetic, enthusiastic, creative and active student since my school life, be it
debate competitions, sports, quiz or project competitions I always participate and won prizes. I enjoy
sports and I was captain of basketball and throw ball team at school, I am also good at playing
badminton, chess and other board games.

A chance to get one semester studies in USA can make me more confident, enhance my working
capacity in the technological field, improve interpersonal skills and can make me broad perspective
approach person. Also it can enhance my field knowledge and polish my present skills.

The whole event will be an opportunity to experience the approach of rapid change absorbing society
compared to change resistant one.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #2


Salman Ali Thepdawala (UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

I am the kind of person who believes that hard work pays off. Being project oriented, I’m focused
more on the task at hand. Furthermore, my ability to cope up with my team, responsibility, and
affability has always earned me an extra credit.

Since my childhood, I have engaged myself in various activities. Besides, I have also a keen interest
in sports and video games, with many certifications in the former.

Academically, I aspire to be at the top in my field. Therefore I do not want to limit myself to the
current degree, instead, I want to explore the vastness of my field through participating in different
programs such as this, which will help me develop my social and educational skills and reform my
abilities to perform even better. So that one day I could be a part of something even better, which will
hopefully serve the world in a best possible way.

As the United States is host to one of the World’s powerful Nation, traveling there and watching their
ways of working things out will surely help in my personal grooming. Furthermore interaction with
foreign culture will have a positive effect on my personality and experiencing their education system
in person will surely bring about a useful change on my educational style. Therefore I think it’d be an
ideal platform for me to go beyond the limits and experience something different, which will definitely
boost up my creativity. Following which, I would be able to serve my community more effectively.

Sobia Siraj, Final Year MBBS, Bolan Medical College, Quetta, Balochistan (UGRAD FALL 2017
Candidate)

4/25/2021 15 Global UGRAD Personal Statements that Made it to the USA

Being from a remote area of Baluchistan it was very difficult for my family to establish ourselves in
different fields based on higher education. My father, a true visionary led our family and brought us
all up to the standards where we all are among very few of our relatives who are well educated and
well settled. I consider myself to be an energetic, hardworking and ambitious individual. I have
always enjoyed an unorthodox lifestyle among my friends. I joined Girls Guide when I was in 4th
grade, I volunteered for helping 2005 Earthquake affected people while traveling right to the heart of
the affected areas. I also participated in many “All Pakistan Camps” arranged at various locations in
Pakistan and have learned a lot through interaction with people from diverse cultures. I joined
Scouting Youth Council and participated in numerous youth program at SYC and finally became a
member of their organizing committee. I am working with an event management organization as
their coordinator. Their aim is to aid youth of Baluchistan in exploring the diversity of terrain and
cultures. I have participated in numerous debate and declamation contests. I have participated in
MUN (Model United Nations)-QTA twice and awarded as best delegate both times. I also became a
part of MUN Club. I have also participated in conducting free medical camps in villages and around
the Quetta city concerning the treatment of eyes, kidneys etc. Besides all these activities I am among
brilliant students of my batch.

In the end, I would say that I am a medical student and I understand limitations being faced by our
country especially in remote areas like mine. If I get a chance to visit developed nations and
understand their methodology of medical care, I would be able to help my people better. The critical
concern of Thalassemia in my division Zhob will be my prime point of focus. There is a lot of room for
improvement in our methods and customs of treatment which I am sure would be easier to mend
through a systematic approach.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #4


Hadia Minhas, from Rawalpindi (UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

As I lay in bed, my eyes were set on the raindrops grazing the roof. I began to think about how I
managed to live here in Rawalpindi. The raindrops caressing the panels were like myself, falling from
the sky as if it has finally escaped imprisonment of its predefined nature, rushing to anything within
reach. When I went from Badin to Islamabad, I could see everything with my eyes closed. I pictured
sitting carefree in a restaurant with my friends, standing on a rostrum delivering praise-worthy
presentations, but I knew it was never going to be that easy. I was being ignored, rejected, and
mocked at but I never gave up. Migrating here from Badin gave me a lot of inferiority complexes.
Now that I have made improvements and developed a passion for English, I am set on being a
journalist, English language professor, and a future novelist. Studying in an all female university is an
issue as I don’t interact with a diverse group of people. Accordingly, I’ve made online friends from
different countries and cultures. Being a literature and language student, the United States, a multi-
cultural country will give me first-hand experience of interacting in diversified settings. I will be a
representative of my country as I become an independent and more improved person. After
returning, I will inform students of my journey and empower students who dream like I do. UGRAD is
a perfect platform that I’ve absolutely been looking for.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #5


I have always felt that we as humans have an inborn desire to want to help others. This passion has
blossomed into a responsibility. I am beginning to understand that medicine is my permanent source
of satisfaction. The statement, “The most exquisite pleasure in the practice of medicine comes from

nudging a layman in the direction of terror, then bringing him back to safety again”, by Kurt Vonnegut
in a novel “God Bless You”. Gave me a thought that how being a doctor would feel and has convinced
me to pursue medicine as a means for serving the community.

To further my insight into the medical field I participated in a work shadowing week at a local
hospital. Here I gained insight into how MRI and other medicines work. I gained a valuable
understanding of the workings of the surgery and observed the ward rounds, a skin biopsy, and an
endoscopy clinic all which I found interesting and helped me pursue medicine.

My desire to study medicine is reflected in my intermediate choices. My interest in the human body
led me to pursue Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at Intermediate, which significantly improved my
study of diseases, confidence in a laboratory and practical skills.

I enjoy socializing and playing football having captained by the high school to numerous successes
and played for the college football team. Partaking in a teamwork as both a member and a leader has
improved my teamwork proficiency, leadership, competence, good teamwork abilities and
communication skills

Besides admiring USA’s education and greenery, having my studies in the country having advanced
and up-to-date technology would be my wish to have familiarized with and a chance to meet with
USA’s students along the way and to know about their nature, culture, customs, and skills to show
them ours would be an honour beyond words.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #6


Shaher Bano | 4th Year MBBS, Bolan Medical College, Quetta, Balochistan (UGRAD FALL
2017 Candidate)

I am a resident of [censored], Balochistan. Being one of the most important cities of the province, it
still lags behind in basic literacy and healthcare facilities. The poor education system was not the only
obstacle I had to overcome. I also had to fight gender discrimination. And due to lack of financial
resources, I taught part-time which lead me to experience the harsh realities of our patriarchal
society where women are stereotyped to be mothers and wives with no right to education.

I stood tall against all these adversities with consistent hard work, perseverance, and confidence. The
sufferings and deaths caused by curable diseases sparked the passion in me to pursue a career in
medicine.I worked hard with determination and finally succeeded reserving my admission at Bolan
Medical College by scoring 1st position in terms of test scores in all Balochistan.

I have maintained outstanding achievements throughout my academic life. I was a member of


science club at school and was selected to participate in Exchange & Excel Camps for scoring top
grades. I was also invited by PEEF to attend personality development program for being a topper in
district intermediate-exams. Besides medicine, I also like reading about philosophy, cosmology, and
history and have published relevant articles in local blogs. I have excellent presentation skills and
actively participate in debate competitions & volunteer work.

For a girl like me, UGRAD is a huge learning opportunity. I look forward to utilizing this program to
study clinical medicine and learn from USA’s leading doctors to help improve local health care.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #7

4/25/2021 15 Global UGRAD Personal Statements that Made it to the USA

Hailing from a remote area at the verge of Pak-Afghan border where people don’t even dream about
higher education, it’s not less than a miracle that today I am enrolled in Mechanical Engineering
department of a prestigious Engineering University in Pakistan.

It wasn’t that easy as it may sound. I have tried hard to get admission in a University of good repute.
If I’ll get more opportunities to excel; it would send a positive message to the youth and elders in my
area that education is the ray of hope in the current bewildering situation.

From early childhood, I had to live at student hostels, far from my home because my village lacks
even basic educational facilities. I have suffered but I can proudly say that my struggle has rewarded
me with confidence, knowledge and most of all, the hope. I have experienced that how your struggle
pays you back and that has made me more ambitious.

God has blessed me with a number of skills including the quality of being out spoken, have won
different titles in several debating contests. I have been the best debater of school, college, and
province. Recently won the 2nd position at Inter-department declamation contest and am selected for
regional declamation contest from my university. Been the best player of cricket at the school level
and played different domestic games.

I believe in Win-Win situations. I feel that it’s my duty to share what I have with those who can’t
afford to acquire. That’s why I have voluntarily organized different seminars and workshops on career
counseling and future planning. I have volunteered as a teacher in my village school. Worked as a
volunteer, in the rehabilitation of earth quake and flood affected areas of Pakistan.

I believe in the power of youth and I consider youth as the symbol of success for a society. I m the
youth activist and have attended different seminars, workshops, and conferences for the development
and awareness of youth. I have recently attended international youth conference and seminar held in
Islamabad.

The world, being a global village today needs harmony among people from different religions and
races. This Student Exchange Programme seems to me as a perfect chance to meet with people from
diverse ethnicities. If today’s Youth will avail such opportunities to understand and tolerate each
other, tomorrow’s world would be more peaceful and prosperous. This exchange program will help me
enhance my leadership skills and the myriad exposure of this program would enhance the
effectiveness of my devotion to educate my people. This program will help me experience the
eminent education standards of United States that can enhance my passion and love for my field.
Moreover, from my example, People back here will know U.S.A as a friend who is concerned about the
future of their youth instead of an unseen enemy who bombs them with unmanned air-crafts.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #8


Being young and an ambitious boy, everything is an adventure and an opportunity to broaden my
horizon. I have always craved for contact, friendships and a social circle as big as my love for food.
So the appeal that USA has with all the freedom, the endless opportunities and the chance to take
the joy of life that only a Pakistani experience was simply irresistible for me.

I am someone who can make friends even on a bus stop. Being congenial helps me meet new people
and staying in touch with old ones keeps me busy. Learning Chinese and joining 6 societies at my
university have been a huge workload but no regrets here. I am an active social worker and have
organized various counseling sessions for high school students in my hometown.

My curiosity for machines, desire to construct something unique and the interest to work on mega
projects with a variety of people, led me towards mechanical engineering. To improve Pakistan’s

energy crisis, I have started making an efficient Human Powered Vehicle.

This program is a tremendous opportunity to interact with different cultures in the USA, representing
Pakistan’s, turn my ideas into reality and understand the real applications of engineering. Foreign
exposure will help me improve my knowledge of cultural differences and understand global issues
through a different dimension. I hope to learn a new language there and know more about the land of
the free and the home of the brave.
I will return with more than souvenirs and a trunk-full of experiences to share with everyone. I am
going there as an ambassador of Pakistan but will return as an ambassador of USA in Pakistan.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #9


Rehan Iqbal | Mastung, Balochistan | Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore (UGRAD SPRING
2017 Candidate)

I hail from a small village in district Mastung, Balochistan. I was fortunate enough to be born in an
educated and liberal family in a region where illiteracy and tribalism still have deep roots in the
society. My father, despite his financial restraints, made sure that me and my siblings get the best
possible education, and also trained us to stand and act on our beliefs in a pretty dogmatic society. As
a child I was fascinated by science and scientists, and I believe my exposure to such material from an
early age molded me to think logically, rationally and critically. Resultantly, pursuit of knowledge
became the biggest motivation in my life.

I completed my matriculation from St. Mary’s School, Quetta, always securing the first position in my
class. I went for my H.S.S.C to Tameer-i-Nnau College, Quetta, one of the most prestigious institutes
of the province. I secured 6th position in the intermediate board of Balochistan. Later, I scored 8th
highest position in the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in the entire province and landed one
of the three spots for admission in Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore, an Institute counted among
the elitist Medical Colleges of the country. For that, I was selected for CM Punjab’s special scholarship
for students of Balochistan, which bears expenses of my college and hostel fee. I am a regular
student of AIMC, Lahore now.

I consider myself to be a Rubik’s-Messiah complex hybrid, I like the thrill of solving problems and I
believe humanity is the only religion, that is why I choose medicine. In addition to the intriguing
challenges it presents, it also gives me the opportunity to do something good for my fellow humans,
and matter in an effective way to my people. After my MBBS, I want to specialize in Infectious
diseases as it will allow me to be helpful to a large number of people given the poor hygienic and
sanitary conditions in my province, due to poverty, illiteracy and an almost complete absence of
infrastructure.

I have a curious mind, owing to which I have a number of hobbies and interests. I’m a passionate
reader, I spend allot of time reading history, poetry, philosophy, psychology, and novels (Huckleberry
Finn being my favorite). I love traveling and I have a special zeal for the archeology, anthropology,
and wildlife of Balochistan, pursuing which has led me to acquire skills like off-road driving, hiking,
and photography. I also watch a lot of movies.
I hold this opportunity in the highest esteem, and if given a chance, it will prove vital to my self-
development and act as a catalyst in my growth as a person. This program will polish my social skills
and help me achieve my future aspirations. I am really enthusiastic about the idea of blending in a
new society, exposure to a new culture and the experience of studying in U.S.A. I will try to sponge
all the goodness I come across and I wish to spread it in my community when I come back. I assure
you, that I will contribute to the program with all my heart and reciprocate the experience by acting

as a true ambassador of my country. I realize the potential this program offers and I am certain I will
take full advantage of it.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #10


Khushal Khan | Zhob | 4th Year MBBS, Bolan Medical College, Quetta (UGRAD SPRING
2017 Candidate)

“Talent deserves a chance” is what I was taught in my High School and still echoes around my ears
several times a day. I opened my eyes in the darkest Scenario one can imagine. Since my childhood,
I had the quest for knowledge but low financial status tried its best be a Hurdle. It was not far when I
was one of the selected 04 candidates from Baluchistan for five years 100% Scholarship Program of O
and A levels. I am a fast learner, highly motivated and open to experience new cultures and
traditions.

Since my early days, I wished to be a Good human Doctor. At our college I am a part of a local
Student organization, raise funds for patients with cancer or with any other chronic disease, donate
blood frequently and try to heal and cure the society’s pain and sufferings. Once my anatomy teacher
said, “Anyone can be a good Doctor but it is Difficult to be a good human doctor” that is what I am
trying to be from the first day I stepped in the premises of Bolan Medical College.

I want to pursue in the field of Internal Medicine from a highly recognized Universities in US. That will
help me in treating the patients with the new effective means not yet Introduced in my country.

There are a number of reasons I want to study in US the most favorite one is that every aspect of
medicine (course, equipment, practice ) is up to date which is in contrast with my country especially
Baluchistan. US homes many cultures and traditions, interacting with them will help me in presenting
a positive outlook of my culture and in the same manner, I will clench the positive aspects of their
culture. This opportunity will help me in the field of medicine, academically and socially.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #11


“Bilal, you are a dexterous student with a lot of enthusiasm and talent. You should think of taking
admission in GCU Lahore, you will dissipate talent here”. These words of my mentor, sir Niamatullah
encouraged me to take admission in GCU Lahore. Being a native of Baluchistan, the least developed
province of Pakistan, I grew in and one of the world’s most backward and poorly governed areas. As
an inhabitant of this unsophisticated province I never enjoyed a healthy educational environment but
the quest for knowledge always kept on pushing me further and I never lost hope and took first
position in FA in FGDC Quetta.

Philosophy has shaped the foundations of all human life and thought. The importance of philosophical
enquiry can be traced from the beginning of civilizations to the heart of today’s modern society. The
society that I live in accepts blind beliefs without reasoning and asking questions and follows those
rules that are made to bind human beings for no reason. I always hesitated in accepting blind beliefs
without using my reason so I wanted to scrutinize blind faiths but I had no platform hence Philosophy
provided me the platform that I needed.

I strongly believe that as long as I do not get an exposure to the most tolerant society of USA, My
dream of becoming a good philosopher would remain just a dream. 4 months stay in the United
States will provide me with many availing opportunities through which I could be capable enough to
carry out debates regarding subjects such as God, Religion, knowledge, liberty, human rights etc.

4/25/2021 15 Global UGRAD Personal Statements that Made it to the USA

Without any hesitation because discussing such subjects is considered a sin back here in my home
town and country. My interaction with the people of America would help me in presenting a positive
outlook of my culture and i would clench the positive aspects of their culture. This will for sure help to
bridge the gap between two different societies in inter-cultural and religious aspects.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #12


Seeing the successful women in the world, I am lead to believe that I can do something substantial
and make my life more meaningful for myself, as well as the others around me, if I put the
knowledge and skills I have acquired over the years to good use.

A girl born in remote area of Baluchistan, where there is only one primary school. But luck favored
me that the backwardness of my native village couldn’t stop me to find the meaning of life. My family
migrated to city and initiative was taken by my father that his daughters would be enlightened with
education instead of being imprisoned in a cage, which gave me the environmental support to study
and reach to Bachelor class.

I have opted BS English Language and Literature, and am more inclined towards language and
linguistics. Very less research has been conducted in this area of study in Pakistan and hence wants
to explore this field of knowledge. I have always been interested to know about different cultures and
no doubt language is the most important component of any culture. I want to know how language
functions, how variations occur within same language, and how one language differs from another.

I, currently studying in BS English Language and Literature at BUITEMS and scoring a very good
CGPA 3.95 out of 4, and would like to enhance my knowledge and skills by acquiring better
educational opportunities in a country which should be abode of excellent research and education. In
this direction, I find America the best place to know about its culture, to lessen the misunderstanding
of our people towards them and above all to observe linguistic development as a culture and to have
a comparative analysis of both my country and that of US. I wish to absorb the3 best of both cultures
to become an active member of society. My exposure to US will surely turn my dreams into reality to
find the meaning of my life. My ultimate goal will be to work for the betterment of those women who
are still deprived of their basic right of education. Being the native of the society biased towards
women, my visit will serve as something very positive with regard to women empowerment.

keep myself boosted in studies but have made me achieve a good position in the class and currently I
am representing my Class as GR of the Class.

I am positive that I am making right decision and right time investment for my bright future and this
will pay me back in the long run. I can see myself working with top organizations as manager where
ever I find better opportunity and better use my skills for overall betterment of the environment.

When I think about an international level degree, the first thing comes in my mind is to study at any
good globally renowned university. Many institutions of United States of America are famous for
quality education all over the world, which indicates individual’s bright future.

On return to Pakistan and after the completion of my degree from University Of Sargodha I intend to
start my professional career in relevant Multinational organization in Pakistan.
Please consider my application for US Undergraduate Exchange Program as a
student of BSIT.

Thank you,

Umaira.

to the state of art in any field. Though, to be very honest I have some disliking for some US
government polices but have high degree of respect for US citizens and values that they hold. US
without any doubt has a made significant impact in creating free and civilized world, this was the
reason that our leader choose go for friendship with US from the right beginning. Mohammad Ali
