    MY ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
    - Bachelor of Arts in English (concentration: teacher preparation) from Washington State University
    - Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages and Cultures (concentration: Spanish) from Washington State University
    - Master of Education in Education Policy and Management from Harvard Graduate School of Education

    WHO AM I?
    I am a Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni '16 and a current PhD student in the Department of Education Studies at the University of California San Diego. I produce videos about the graduate school application and my journey through a PhD program. Subscribe to follow my journey through the PhD experience and to gain insight on how to best prepare for the graduate school application process.
    I created this channel because I did not have access to many resources when I was applying for graduate programs. Now that I have been through two graduate school application processes, I want to share my knowledge and the helpful information I have gained through those experiences.
    Additionally, for the past four years, I have been working as a Retention Specialist and Director for a federally-funded program at a higher education institution. I spent these four years helping over 400 students to apply to four-year institutions, attain scholarships, and navigate the higher education system. I created this channel in order to share my knowledge of college access as it pertains to graduate school.

    I loved to ask you for reviewing my sop but your service is expensive

      It is. Overtime, my prices have increased due to demand and I invest a lot of time and energy for every clients SOP. Many of my clients have achieved great results. Given the time I invest and the quality of the feedback, I have to keep my prices as they stand. With this said, I am going to offer a discounted price for my Instagram followers this summer: instagram.com/ivanvaldovinosgradschool?igsh=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D&.

    This is super useful, thank you! One question, should we cite papers/articles in our SOP?

    • @IvanValdovinosGradSchool
      @IvanValdovinosGradSchool  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! You can, but it should only be 1 citation. The statement of purpose is not a research paper.

    I see you were wait listed and then got an offer letter from UT. You need to make a video on this as there are very few videos on TH-cam on this

      Thanks! At the graduate school level there isn’t much to say about being waitlisted. If someone doesn’t accept their offer, then you could have the chance to take that spot. And I was able to do that. I do have a video where I share about UT Austin and my waitlist.

    Do you think it would be effective to read and mention one article written by one faculty member which has the same interest as mine on SoP?

    • @IvanValdovinosGradSchool
      @IvanValdovinosGradSchool  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, the statement of purpose is about you and your experiences. There is no need to mention the faculty’s work. You need to describe how the faculty’s expertise will help advance your research.
