I’m a dental school applicant. I have struggled during my last year of undergrad to put my personal statement together. Your advice is helping me to come up with how to plan my personal statement and lay a foundation for the interview process, because a question that seems to come up often is why the school was selected by the student. I’m so excited now to get writing. Thank you!!!!

Really helpful, Stacy! Just one question: if one is applying for a taught Masters with a dissertation component, how much detail about your prospective research do you have to go into in the SOP? Especially if it's tentative and you also want to demonstrate flexibility

hi! What made you change your mind and decide to start a master's degree? I've seen one of your videos where you explained going to grad school was not the best move! I'm just curious because I've been thinking so much about whether I should pursue that degree or not. Thank you so much this video was helpful!

Would you say that the Personal Statement and Statement of purpose asks for the same information essentially?

@danielx40 Жыл бұрын

I wonder if it has to be a professional reason. I have the best personal reason to go to this one school, but can I just write that in… professionally I really didn’t care much. It’s 21 century and if you want to learn something, just find the right book and call up a few people. Going to grad school for me is 100% for personal reason. I think I’m just gonna write it in.

@YuzukiEba Жыл бұрын

what if you dont really care that much about making the world a better place ? Sounds like you just have to make it all up in your personal statement ? Lets be honest, its not like everyone on earth is actually going to try to wake up everyday and work towards making the world a better place. We arent all saints. Pretty sure no one can argue against this and no one will come with a counter argument

Sounds like a person like that isn't a great fit for grad school then lol

@Thefare1234 7 ай бұрын

You might be a good fit for math related fields. Other fields want fake people who know how to play politics.

@elfullin 5 ай бұрын

I think you should analyze what “making the world a better place” means to you. It doesn’t mean to sacrifice your life for others, whatever you imagine that to be. It can mean bettering yourself and creating something that YOU find meaningful, because surely others will derive positive meaning from your work. You can argue all jobs have this component of facilitating and helping some aspect of peoples lives (depends on your perspective). The nuance in the meaning of that quoted phrase can serve as something you explain in your personal essay because to YOU it is true, and hopefully they will see that your understanding of making the world a better place also resonates with others.

@Vineature its impossible for people to have that purpose as we live in the world that needs money
