6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The importance of having a well-crafted, compelling personal statement for fellowship applications cannot be overstated. During this session, you will learn strategies for writing your personal statement to help it stand out among the crowd. We will discuss researching the organization to which you are applying, reading and assessing the prompt, and planning for the writing process using realistic expectations. A common pitfall applicants face is not fully understanding the process of writing personal statements, so we will provide in-depth steps for planning the pre-writing, drafting, and revising of your essay. This session will also incorporate a short practice exercise, so students can startputting their ideas onto paper. **Register by clicking More Information below
