    Today I got rejected from a master's programme at Helsinki's U. Could not believe I scored almost perfectly in all areas except in this one, which was considered to be fairly well written. In my opinion, giving it to someone to read it is one of the best tips to get your ideas flow. However, I believe what really got me low on the final score was that I could not show so much of my personality in the letter. We are always so focused on impressing that we forget who we truly are; yet, there must be a balance between professionalism and humanism. That is the real struggle here, especially in a foreign language. Anyways, best of lucks to all the applicants around the world!

    Hello. Thanks a lot for your tips. They really help.
    I really hope you read my comment and respond. I'm applying for a PhD position. I wish to know if I need to present the LORs from my end or is providing the name and information of the referees in the CV enough?

    • @namrithamaniyodath2877
      @namrithamaniyodath2877 Рік тому

      That depends on the PhD program you apply to. Certain programs require that you send only the email address of your referees and others require you to upload the LOR. I hope this answers your question.
