You know you want to go to graduate school and that a personal statement is required as part of the application process However, you are unsure what, exactly, it is, when you need to start writing it, and how to get started/what to include or not include on this document.
This session will be most beneficial for students in their second or third year, or graduating students planning on taking a gap year(s), but all are welcome. You should leave this session with:
- A detailed description of a personal statement
- What to include and not include in the statement
- Tips and resources for getting started and making your statement engaging
NOTE: This is not a workshop - we will not be actively working on/editing personal statements during the session.
