Application for grad school is due in 2 days and I'm super thankful I came across this video. Because my personal statement doesn't use overly-sophisticated language, nor does it read like a laundry list of my accomplishments, like many of the personal statements I've read from those in my field, I've started feeling discouraged and insecure about it. With my writing being professional and easy to follow, I hope this will score in my favour by making the administrators' jobs easier. Best of luck to each and every one of you applying for higher education!
@@PepeCris15 Sweet! I hope you enjoy it out there! I'm also currently trying to apply for masters (I'll be an international student) and I'm very anxious about this whole process. Wish me luck!🤞🏼
i have a problem of writing long sentences actually. after watching this, i will probably work towards keeping my sentences short, objective and concise. thankyou so much. (and thanks for providing the context of the negative tone* example - alot of people probably might have misunderstood it.)
Hii thank you for the video, it'll be really helpful for when I start to write my personal statement in these 2 months. I wanted to ask a question relating to ethnic background, because I'm not sure if it is good to mention it. I'm from Malaysia btw :) I'm applying for asian studies, most likely chinese or japanese, such as for unis like Cambridge etc Would it be ok if I mention how I've been exposed to many languages, especially growing up from a Chinese family?
Excellent video with sage advice. Every day is a school day👍😊💜✌️ Best to say truthful - as in CVs don't get caught out at interview - write about the concepts and arguements that interest you (relative to the degree) and put the authors' names in brackets afterwards. Not only does that avoid plagiarism, it explains your interest in those concepts and arguements (with understanding) whilst acknowledging the author and showing that you've read the papers/books/literature too. I came across a MBA personal statement where only 500 words were allowed (iirc for many MBAs it's a 1000 words). However basic guidelines were given by the university, which needed careful reading. Then it's a case of, edit, edit, edit, edit and edit it again. Don't waste words, stay relevant to the degree and what the university has asked of you in the guidelines. Be mindful to watch out for hyphens being counted as words not characters in some auto word count functions (count the words manually if unsure). Also a brief - in bold - heading can be useful as an aide memoire and to clarify to the reader (iirc they're not part of word count), however in 500 words, that's just two headings for two main sections relative to what the university has specified they want to know about. I'm no expert but I hope that helps others💜✌️😊
Hallo Viancqa... saya mau minta sarannya aja ya, mungkin bisa kasih saya masukan. anak saya tahun depan rencana ambil jurusan cyber security di UK. dan dari 3 uni yang akan saya sebutkan ini, menurut kamu mana yang bagus nya untuk cyber security ? 1. coventry uk ( sama dengan kampus kamu ) 2. UWE bristol 3. Leeds Beckett University thanks atas masukannya
Jika aku harus memilih satu, aku akan memilih Coventry University. Ini alasannya: Pembelajaran Praktis: Coventry punya reputasi luar biasa dalam menggabungkan pengalaman praktis dengan koneksi industri yang kuat. Ini berarti kamu akan mendapatkan lebih banyak lab, simulasi, dan proyek yang langsung menerapkan teori ke dunia nyata-sempurna untuk menguasai keterampilan cybersecurity secara langsung, bukan hanya di atas kertas. Koneksi Industri: Coventry dikenal memiliki kemitraan dengan perusahaan cybersecurity ternama, yang memberikan peluang lebih baik untuk mendapatkan magang atau pekerjaan yang menarik segera setelah lulus. Pusat Penelitian dan Inovasi yang Kuat: Dengan sumber daya yang didedikasikan untuk inovasi siber, kamu akan punya akses ke penelitian terbaru yang bisa membuatmu lebih unggul di bidang yang sangat kompetitif ini.
I’m writing my personal statement for Columbia - could I hire your for a couple sessions to help edit and for your input? Just shooting my shot! Trying to change the criminal justice system and I’m writing about my own experience with domestic abuse (as an abolitionist) and what I’ve done as an activist and some academic interruptions ptsd adhd dyslexia and all that good stuff. If you don’t ask you’ll never know!
Hey that's an amazing story to begin with! Sure, shoot me a DM on @letvihelpyou on IG, or through email ask.viancqa@gmail.com and will share more details.
