    Thank you for this, especially for reading your statement of purpose. You just have to be proud of the "younger you". Fantastic job. I was blown away and inspired, yet a bit intimidated. Wish you more success. Wish me luck too.

    Where I'm at (Belgium) it's more like a cover letter you would write to accompany your resume. Then again, where I'm at, a PhD is viewed upon more like a 1st job basically...with decent pay!

    • @anniochan
      @anniochan  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, this statement of purpose is basically a cover letter haha OH interesting! We definitely do not get paid well as PhDs in Canada LOL

    Hello, I was thinking how many words would a personal statement need to be? 800? 1000? or 1500? Thanks in advance for the reply! ;)

    • @anniochan

      Hi Jackie - it depends on the program you are applying so make sure to check their requirements. I believe mine was about 1000 words!

    Hey,
    If you look at Canada’s health sector it is not good at all. The doctors I met didn’t care about my illness because it is not life threatening. I hope your education and your good nature will add some humanity to this crippling and inhumane health sector in Canada. You have acquired a great knowledge and wish you will contribute to a positive change in there. ♥️

    Hi, Thank you so much for this beneficial video. I'm going to apply for fall2023 and the professor that I have talked to said he will be my supervisor and responsible for my funding. However, he said I have to write the name of another professor on my application who is currently working in the related Faculty so that I can get accepted. I wonder if I have to write the name of both professors on my SOP or not?

    I have discovered this channel lately and now i am s big fan of it
    Could you pls if you have a chance make conversation videos in lab
    Between you and your mentor or supervisor about real life in lab
    How he gives you instruction guidance schedule. Something like that
    And another videos about real life conversation among team members in lab
    Or simulation
    As i am not a native
    And this world is completely different.

      Aww thank you so much 🥰 that is so kind of you! That is such a great video idea! I actually spoke to my supervisor just yesterday about a possible video together with him! He seems hesitant but not absolutely turned off to the idea ;) he has a youtube channel too! You can look him up: ua-cam.com/channels/kMMtQp_VrzswdFm0aKsT_w.html
      What kind of topics would you be interested in watching b/w me and my labmates?
