| Video Discription | I've had a lot of requests to talk specifically about how to write a statement of purpose - so though some of these tips are redundant from my previous videos (links below!), I've distilled them here into the things that I think it's most important for a statement of purpose to do (and also what a statement of purpose is NOT - it's not a personal statement). These tips are probably also useful for the kinds of things to emphasize in a grad school interview! And stay tuned for future videos about farther along in the process! 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Convince them you want a PhD 03:46 Describe research experience & motivations 05:03 Show passion for a topic 06:55 Explain why that program 10:04 Demonstrate that you can write 11:32 This is not a personal statement 13:12 If you're applying to masters programs 13:57 My statement of purpose 18:31 Get feedback!
