    I used one of your videos to help guide me on how to go about my personal statement for grad school and I got accepted back in April for my Dual MBA/MHA Program this coming August🙏🏽

    Hello Sis, thanks for impacting my life through your videos. I practically used your blueprint on how to write a Grad School Application SOP to secure my Master's admission and most importantly the prestegious, fully funded Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professional, for Autumn 2022. I'll be moving to Sweden this August. I am forever grateful to God & then to you. Anya! God bless u immensely!!

    Thank you soo much Dr.Ann , I am a medical student trying to apply to graduate school for my MPH and your videos have been very helpful in the whole process.
    Please you mentioned in your video on how to write SOP, and you said it is important to include prospective advisors or professors, is it okay to do that in the personal statement?
    I am asking that because you said the personal statement is more personal and focuses on the past.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey! I love your videos! I find them very helpful in my journey to applying for grad school. A lot of the schools I’m applying to dont say or specify if they want a statement of purpose or a personal statement. Would recommend to send both? As you mentioned in this video, one is more futuristic whereas the other is more about the past

    Hello, one of the graduate programs I am applying to, is requiring a personal statement. The instructions say, “you are required to submit a personal statement that can be up to 1000 words in length(approximately 2 pages…” The way I read the instructions, it is okay to go over two pages. What is your interpretation? I am asking because of your previous line of work.

      Different programs have different requirements. Some will state it explicitly that you need to contact an advisor before/during your application. Some programs don't. Just go through the program website diligently for this information. If it's still not clear, mail the graduate program coordinator
