📌 TIP: Grad-school essay in 4 acts

I review dozens of grad-school essays every year.

If you’re writing one, talk about:
1. What motivates you
2. What has prepared you
3. What you hope to do
4. Why you’re a perfect fit

A thread.

#AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat 1. What motivates you

- Why do you want grad school?
- What are your ambitions?
- Why will grad school help you?
- Why this university?
