Statement of Purpose
This part of the overall application carries an extremely important weight, and the ones that are written in a clear and focused manner will be favored. Upon reading, a faculty evaluator should get a crisp idea of:
Why it is that you would like to work in a particular specialization/topic and with a particular faculty as your adviser (for MS applicants this could be a project or thesis adviser)
Why it is that a particular faculty should be interested in having you as an advisee
In each case, a successful applicant will provide a good balance between background, vision, and desiderata.
Example: simply saying that you like Northwestern or you have a high esteem for the faculty in ECE, aside from being flattering, is not a statement that, in itself, will "sell well.”
Lastly, while this may not always be possible, it will be helpful if at least parts of the recommendation letters can back up the claims made in the statement of purpose.
