Hopefully, I could make it, pursuing Ph.D in Johnson campus. Now, I am creating a robust background to attract the supervisor with matters topic for universe
Ahh great to connect with a fellow vet! I am so glad you found it helpful - I definitely found it super overwhelming navigating the graduate school application process having come from a clinical background. Good luck in your journey and let me know if there are any other videos that I can make that might help!!
I really appreciate this video!I wish I had watched this before I applied haha. I definitely wish I had done some things differently in my SOP, like I don't think I really explained how my interests aligned with the Professors I spoke about. I wrote about the professors in my last paragraph but I don't think I didn't weave it throughout my essay. Oh well, just waiting to hear back now!
Ahh this is great to hear that it was helpful! I wouldn't worry too much about that - having something you are interested in is a HUGE positive on its own so showcasing that is definitely a BIG PLUS! And also talking about the professors shows that you thought about that particular school and it makes your SOP specific which is definitely something that not everyone does so it helps your application stand out even more! GOOD LUCK!!!
@@ellieinstem You were totally right! I just got an interview invite for the Cornell BBS Program!! If I end up getting accepted, maybe I'll meet you on campus someday! Thank you again for your videos!
Thank you Ellie for this video. You literally answered everything I was going to ask you on LinkedIn. How long would you advise the SOP should be? Both the academic and personal sections.
Thank you so much for this - so glad you found it helpful!! I get asked these questions lots so thought it was best to collate it all into a video 😂 EXCELLENT question! It really depends on individual school requirements but my SOP was in total around 2 pages which averaged out to a page on each one. That was pretty average for all my PhD applications - unless there was a word limit it probably added up to around a page of personal statement and a page of academics! I did find there was lots of overlap so it was quite nice on the applications that allow you to combine them! Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!
