About the event
If someone asked you to tell them in 1-page why you should be admitted into the graduate program, do you know what you would say? How would you make yourself stand out from the hundreds of applicants?
Your personal statement is often the first, and sometimes only, chance to stand out in the graduate school admissions process. However, many applicants unintentionally weaken their essays with clichés, vague openings, or stories that fail to highlight their readiness for advanced study.
In this 45-minute live session, Dr. Justin Grimes will walk you through:
✅ 5 Questions you need to answer to make your personal statement aligned with what admissions committees care about
✅ How to tell a great instead of a sob story with strength-based framing
✅ Receive a simple action plan you can use immediately to write a strong personal statement and capture admissions committees’ attention
