    Hello Vee, I am applying for graduate school (master's) for this upcoming spring (the deadline is today December 1st) but I am missing letters of recommendation. Do you know whether it is fine if the letters of recommendation are sent after the application deadline? I am also not very confident about what to include in my personal statement. In fact, I am also been finding it really challenging to know what program I want to pursue and which school I want to go to.

    Hi Vee. I am writing the statement of propose and I know it's different from personal statement. My aim is to start a hospital but will stating that help me for getting admission for a PhD in Bioengineering. I watched someone else's video for tips. He said that getting into academia or becoming a professor should be stated as the reason for doing a PhD will make more sense to them and increase my chances. What are your thoughts? I don't want to lie in my statement of purpose.

    Hi Vee, thank you for this information. I need help regarding applying to different schools e.g 5 uni at the same time. Yes, the personal statement or sop may vary because of what they require, and even the number of pages and length. Some require 2-3 pages, some 1-2 with 500 words specifically. I'm struggling on how to write 1 specific statement then tailor it to each specific university because of the length of the statements. Kindly advise on how to go about this. Most of the schools I'm applying to the deadline for Fall 2023 is this December 😢. Thanks a lot for helping us out!
