Graduate School Search Group: Application Essays and Personal Statements

Register

Join the Greene Center for part 3 in our 5-part series dedicated to supporting students' graduate school searches. In this third session, you’ll receive practical tips and discuss best practices for crafting your application essays and personal statements. Through a brief presentation and peer-to-peer discussions, you will be ready to hit the ground running in your graduate school search.

Key takeaways-
- Begin to develop compelling personal statements and application essays
- Develop key elements of your story through examples shared and peer discussion
- Understand the audience you’re writing to better target your statements

You can attend as few or as many sessions in this series as you want. If you miss a session, it does not mean you can not participate in a different session this Spring. We will offer each part of our 5-part series twice this Spring.
