I've written some threads on graduate school admission and funding, including:
WRITING GRADUATE ADMISSION ESSAY USING THE “STAR” MODEL
So, you’re asked to write a 350word personal statement essay on “overcoming obstacles, community work, experience (s) that have shaped you, academic gap- low GPA/GRE scores- & how the degree will help your future goals” 1/n
“STAR” is an appropriate model one can employ in this scenario to set a good precedence for your write up and ensure you adequately answer all questions asked.
S- Situation
T- Task
A- Action
R- Result 2/n
Last week, I made a post on writing a concise SOP/ PS, if you missed it, please check here
Statement of Purpose & Personal Statement for graduate admission- A very concise explanation of the two & IMPORTANT TIPS TO NOTE.
Statement of Purpose (SOP)- it's a research statement and a bit different from Personal statement (PS).
Your SOP should be about 4 parts:
1/n
1. Introduction, interests & motivations.- a very brief & direct description of yourself
2. Brief description of your undergrad (or MSc) journey- important modules, your publications, past research, conferences- point out just the significant things & why they’re important. 2/n
3. Your activities- past or current-; work experience, leadership or volunteer that prepared you for graduate school and specifically for that MSc/PhD you’re applying
4. Discuss more on your research interests- the question you would like to study for MSc/PhD,
