Start Your Essay?
Student’s applications ask for the graduate school’s personal statement or statement of purpose or statement of intent. So many similar names, you may say. However, each of these admission docs has its own purpose. They are totally different in terms of focus and goals. While crafting your graduate personal statement, an applicant should realize that this is the best chance to impress the admission committee without a face-to-face meeting. You should use this opportunity and showcase your candidacy so you were chosen among the rest of the applicants. But what is the way to do that?
First of all, let’s figure out what is a personal statement about? After that, we will easily come up with an idea of how to choose topics for personal statements. And of course, how to write a graduate personal statement at the time of Covid-19. Our guest today is Ashley, an editor at EssayEdge.
