In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I delve into the essentials of writing the personal statement and diversity statement for graduate school. I define these two types of essays, offer advice on how to get started, and share insights on addressing common challenges such as writer's block. Tune in to learn about sample prompts, how to brainstorm ideas, and strategies for structuring your statements to effectively convey your unique and valuable experiences and contributions. Additionally, I provide tips for addressing any academic gaps and integrating personal stories to create a compelling and competitive application.
