Admissions Officer
Pardew College

Toronto, Ontario, MGH 357

Dear Mr. Hanks,

This letter is to formally request admission to study engineering at the prestigious Pardew College. After researching the
requirements to study at your college, I'm confident I have the qualifications to make a great addition to your student population.
As a high school student, I maintained a grade point average of 3.84 through studying diligently and gaining a comprehensive
understanding of my subjects. In addition, I received awards for being the best student in physics and chemistry at our valedictory
ceremony. Being a top student, I tutored my classmates who struggled with certain subjects. This helped me develop teamwork,
communication skills, and a better understanding of my subjects. Academic excellence is one of Pardew College's top requirements
for a candidate, and I believe these precedents demonstrate that I have the dedication and enthusiasm to maintain that standard.

.........

I have enclosed my application form and all other documents, and I am available to provide any additional information you
require. Again, thank you for taking the time to read my cover letter, and I look forward to a favourable response from you.

Yours sincerely,

Jane O'Malley https://ca.indeed.com/career-advice/resumes-cover-letters/cover-letter-for-college-application
