My Statement of Purpose_3_ Request for help Third part: I have excellent command in both written and oral English, in graduate schools I have attended, the medium of instruction was English and my TOEFL/IBT (95 overall) and GRE (148 in verbal and 3.5 in Analytical Writing) scores show that I possess sufficient and written communication skills. In addition, being a TA for some undergraduate level courses, during which I had to study more than the students to hold weekly recitations and office hours, grade homework and exams helped me to improve my English language skills and prepare to be teacher in high academic level. I have always believed that pursuing a novel research in Operations Management/Operations Research needs a strong theoretical view in mathematics and computer science as well as the managerial view. I consider myself one of the few people among my generation who are as skillful and dexterous in these areas. On the other hand, coming from a multi-national country like Iran, speaking in four-five different languages, living in Turkey for two years and gaining many experiences in an international environment make me a multicultural person who can bring diversity to your program. I believe that pursuing my studies in THE UNIVERSITY means living in a lively and scientific discipline. This is something I need to reach my goals in my scientific life and I have no doubt, that it helps me to find an academic position in a well reputed university or research position in private sector. I am interested in THE UNIVERSITY because of its renowned faculty especially in my fields of interest. I have made contact with THE PROFESSOR regarding research opportunities and my fitness for the program. I want to concentrate my studies on applied operations research, particularly on FIELDS. Having gained some familiarity with his interests, I would be more than glad if I got a chance to conduct research with THE PROFESSOR on FIELDS IN DETAIL.
