Hub Workshop: Personal Statement Workshop
One of the biggest hurdles for many in the grad school application process is the Personal Statement. This workshop will support you in the writing process. Whether you haven’t written a long-form piece in some time, or if your classes have required regular writing, the Personal Statement requires a different form and serves a unique function.
Together, with a Hub coach and your peers, we will work together to establish what makes a powerful and effective personal statement.
You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and/or sciences (LSA) student
Interested in learning more about the possibility (and realities) of grad school
Deciding if advanced study is a step you want to take
Curious about what writing a Personal Statement entails (i.e what even is it?)
Looking for some guidance for assessing if your Personal Statement is aligned with your interests and goals
What you’ll gain by attending:
Insight into best practices when writing a Personal Statement from various perspectives
Understanding of different requirements and formats for different graduate schools
How to attack the writing process in an order that makes the most sense
Exploring and deciding between your varied experiences to provide schools with a well-rounded portrayal
Discover resources available to you throughout your application process
Identify areas of improvement within your existing personal statement
