Scholarships are moving to social media. Many of you don't get replies because of how you are presented. A lot of my #mentees have grabbed their scholarship s on social media. Two important apps you must have is #Twitter and #Linkedin.
How can you benefit from this?
1. Make your profile name catchy!! First impression last longer. All those "sexy dollie" "fine tohbe" etc profile names. Na wa o. How does that present you?
🥞Use your legal names!!!
🥞Get a sweet handle
🥞Write a small profile summary and highlight your education too
2. What's your profile picture? My dear, some profile picture reminds me of the sentence "na only you waka come?
Use a nice casual or smart profile picture. Do you know I got to know about my school via Twitter? and I am here now.
As an African, you could be limited by exchange rates and many of your dream applications are not within reach.
The good news is that you could get a waiver. This thread will show you how.
1. Attend an open house event and ask for a Waiver.
There are tons of this that are usually available during the application season. A simple googling of "open house graduate admission events" will unlock a lot of such events. See below some upcoming ones
2. Connect with Graduate admissions team/division and ask for a waiver
When I was applying for gradschool,I got 3 waivers.If it was now, I would have had more. Simply draft an email stating why lack of funds will limit your chances of applying and send to the team. You'll testify
1.The curriculum vitae
This is the first opportunity you have to sell yourself. It must be targeted to the application. Therefore, you cannot use a single CV for all applications. I strongly recommend what I call a smart CV. Follow this simple guide.
2.The personal Statement
You can consider the tweets below and get a picture of what a great personal statement should contain
1. An astonishing personal statement is not supposed to exceed 1000words except if otherwise stated. Do not stress your reader with irrelevant stories
2. Remember that you don’t have to be make your story sympathetic. Your reviewers are usually business minded and wants the best candidate not the most pitiable candidate
Today I woke up thinking about time.
Then I think I want to challenge the scientists and philosophers of the world.
We always say that we spend&observe time, study relativity, etc
What I realize is that TIME SPENDS US instead. Who can step in the shoes of time?@AcademicChatter
Can you find out what data time is taking? It existed from the beginning and will remain forever.
Everything is recycled, humans, plants, animals, etc but time is not.
If I was a #physicist, this will be my course till TIME is done SPENDING me.
I feel the chaos is created by time. Everyone is in a hurry before they get recycled. Some are cut short, some live longer
But beginning and end of everything, we receive a TIME STAMP. TIME never dies.
What is TIME really STUDYING?
