      Your welcome! Make sure to check out my other videos about the HGSE process. I made a playlist to help others with the application process because I was clueless and did not have resources when I applied.

      Thank you, Caroline! At the moment, I do not. However, I plan to provide a statement of purpose service in the summer for the next application cycle. When do you plan to apply and in what area of study?

    Hey, I love your video and may I ask, how do I get research experience in my undergrad while I am in a country that doesn't offer that and do you think it's going to ruin my chances of getting into Harvard grads school for a PhD in clinical psychology.

      Hi, thank you for watching my videos. I have an entire playlist focused on the Harvard graduate school of education. You should check it out. It might be helpful with your application. In terms of research experience, you can ask your professors to see if they conduct any research that you might be able to get involved in. If that is not a possibility, you might want to look at international research opportunities. The Fulbright can be an option. I strongly believe that research experience is necessary for PhD programs at elite institutions. You can also start your own research project with a professor as a mentor. I started my own project as an undergrad. I hope this helps. I would start by asking some of your favorite professors in your field at your institution to see how they can help you.

      Hi Junbeom, I shared my GRE scores in this video. I didn’t do so well tbh because I naturally don’t do well with standardized testing so I tried my best but decided to focus on the other components of the application instead.

      I did not, however, I completed two bachelor degrees which meant that I completed 180 or so credits.

      I have two more semesters left to graduate with a bachelor’s. I’m thinking of taking some honors classes. Do you think it will help for grad school like Harvard?

      @IvanValdovinosGradSchool  Год назад +1

      @@shujayethossain6554 I honestly don’t think it will get you in. They look at the entire application so a few honors courses won’t make or break the application. The only reason I would take those courses is if you want to showcase a strength such as writing and you take a writing intensive honors class. But I think applicants should focus on the statement of purpose and the why behind their decision to attend graduate school at Harvard.

      @IvanValdovinosGradSchool  2 года назад

      Hi, it looks like they haven’t made that decision yet. It was optional for the last two application cycles. Here’s the website you should monitor when the 2023-2024 cycle begins in September: www.gse.harvard.edu/admissions/faq/standardized-tests. Standardized test scores are not the only thing they look at and I know a lot of people with low scores who got in. I would focus on strengthening the other portions of your application.
