I served on a committee for Master's program admissions and found many qualified applicants failed to effectively demonstrate their strengths.

Here are a few tips to help you effectively demonstrate your strengths and abilities in your graduate school application:

1. Tailor your application to the specific program:

Make sure to research the program and tailor your application to highlight how your experiences and goals align with the program's mission and objectives. Include specific examples to demonstrate your fit for the program.

2. Use specific examples:

Rather than just listing your experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your skills & accomplishments. For instance, if you were a teaching assistant, describe a lesson/activity that you planned & led that demonstrates your teaching abilities.

3. Emphasize your unique qualities:

What sets you apart from other applicants? Be sure to highlight your unique qualities and experiences that make you a strong candidate for the program.

4. Proofread and edit carefully:

It's important to pay attention to detail and ensure that your application is error-free. Have someone else review your application for errors or typos before you submit it.

5. Be authentic:

Admissions committees can tell when an applicant is being genuine. Make sure to be authentic and sincere in your application, and avoid exaggerating or stretching the truth.

To make your #gradschool application stand out, do the following:

- Tailor it to the specific program
- Use specific examples to illustrate your skills & accomplishments
- Highlight your unique qualities
- Proofread and edit carefully
- Be authentic.
