We even have alumna on here!

I am in Human Resources ‼️

I'm a history major but an anthro minor~

Personally, I would ask “how”, LOL!

Maybe 1

Around two I think double spaced

I agree ^

:-)

Graduate School is an apprenticeship!

Oh no!

😭😭

Lol

On that topic, thankful for the Padawan program, but if we do not have a mentor are we able to run that by a professor?

I see. Thank you for y’all’s answer!

How does that translate for applying abroad, like the UK for example where 'analyze' becomes 'analyse', etc.?

probably especially anthro

great, thank you

LOL

How would you weave past research experience into the statement? Would it be best to go off the program and then pull in what is relevant?

Thank you :) HI all!

Would you recommend on waiting to apply to graduate school if your previous academic accomplishments or experiences are not as strong?

Very helpful! Thank you

My question is a little more general(?), but if you can share, what are you some things that really stand out in grad applications or kind of make y

oop ignore that last part lol ^

Thank y’all for y’all’s wisdom!

Relevance!

Hi! I’m sorry if this isn’t relevant, but I thought I would ask just in case. If the graduate program we’re applying to focuses on practicum instead of research (i.e. library science), should we still reach out to professors at the programs we’re applying to? And if we do, should we mention these interactions in our statement of purpose?

Thank you so much!!

Yes!

Yes :)

That was really helpful, thank you!

Of course!

Feel free to type questions in the chat as well everyone!

Yes!

Yes!

yes

Yes!

The elder scrolls online

ESO?

yea

Yes!

I can hear her!

Yes!

Thank you Jacob!

probably not 🥴 lol

ˆ

No <3

^

^ 😂

LMAOO

probably not.

the carrot means the same

yess

Oh! You were like “can you see my screen?” and I saw a ESO file 😂

Yes omg

im cracking up

yes it was it means LMAO

And no probably not on accepting them

WELL

I would give them a diary

Talking too much about the past,

The second paragraph stood out to me the most actually

Yes!

yeahhh that was my thing ^

It just threw me off by the archeologist thing

Exactly!

So is it better to be direct and essentially not writing a “hook"?

oh i liked that one

definitely more engaging

Substance & relevance

Sounds like a springboard into what they will be researching

That’s a really good way of turning their issues into informing their focus / interest

this one's more focused and I think that it still puts their personal perspective and experiences

talks about future plans like finding equitable solutions

maybe elaborate more on why qualitative research is important, maybe draw on a personal experience?

Agree w yuri

I like that they connected themselves to the study and how its relevant to them or their interests but also introduces you into a possible research project

I think the first two were harder to comment on because it felt like… story-telling?? for lack of better words

^ good point Chanel

Cheese is good

love it!

Thank you Valeria!

Are those specific enough?

Of course this person is from Oregon!

With the first one, its about medical anth specifically.

Definitely telling

I think its telling

Perhaps not mentioning specific journals, researcher?

I definitely don’t like the line “perhaps a clinic”

apply by doing what?

The last sentence

Very broad

veerrry broad lol

Which faculty members?

“learning from many members” —> which members

again, specifically which faculty members?

what members?

wrong school in the second

y'all know what you are about, lol

why do they want to make the switch? why now?

"we're don't"

“We’re don’t” smh

grammar in the future goals paragraph ^-^

I’m having flashbacks from methods

literally ^

LMAO

Professor Nelson tore our papers up respectfully 😭😭

YEAH LOL

it certainly makes a big assumption lol

why is applied medical anthropologist in quotations?

“Given my qualifications and past experiences…” but does not reiterate said qualifications and experiences (maybe)

I completely agree, Chanel!

Good point, Chanel!

I agree, Huriel!

Thank you for making a point to say that in that way.

I should make a website

QR code

Or a video essay like Elle Woods

if you wouldve seen the face i did when it clicked LMAO
