    Hi friends! I am Wai from Indonesia, Harvard Graduate School of Education class of 2023. In this video, I am reading the personal statement that got me into Harvard. I edited some parts and took out some sentences that I find too personal but I still try to maintain the flow of the essay :)
    It took me a while to build the courage to share my essay in public (and to edit the personal parts without losing the main points hehe), I hope you find this video helpful! I remember when I was writing my essay, I learned A LOT from other people sharing their essays on TH-cam and I want to contribute to future applicants by sharing mine too!

    Hi, I can definitely say that you aced your Harvard application with your essay. You are one of a kind. I was looking for a winning essay example as I am preparing a master's degree scholarship application. However, your essay made me reflect and question my purpose again. I don't have an exceptional life story like yours and I am a total mediocre. One of the reasons why I want to go after grad school is because since I graduated in 2021, I have never been accepted by any companies that I applied to. Meanwhile, I desperately want to have a career in the environmental sector or marine science-related field. So, I thought grad school is a good idea to elevate my qualification, skills, and knowledge. But now, I still question myself. Anyway, you're a star and I am sure you'll excel in your study at Harvard.

    That was awesome hearing your essay, Mbak Wai.
    It encouraged me to pursue my dream studying abroad then payback to our country. Also appreciate with the LPDP tracker. It could be useful for me.
    See you in Harvard

    How many words should your composition consist of and how many pages should it be?

  • @arnavdixit1397
    @arnavdixit1397 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Is this a Statement of Purpose? Or a Personal Statement? From my understanding, a Personal Statement has a word limit of 500 words and this is quite big for that
