  • I show you my PhD personal statement editing and feedback and teach you how to improve a personal statement for grad school, evaluate if it is good enough to be accepted to a PhD programme. I show you the most common reasons PhD applications are rejected and the common mistakes in a personal statement.
    If you want me to provide feedback on your personal statement, feel free to reach out on Twitter!

    I think this was a very good video since you actually acted like someone on a selection panel looking for specific skills in a candidate so that they stand out from others. Your previous videos were like lectures (in a good sense) and this was like an actual examination of what your viewers understood from them.

    This is a super insightful and practical video! One small question though--in each section, the task instructions say to write around 200 words, but I feel that if they added all the info you advised it'd be massively over length? In that case what you would advise to keep in?

    Hello Hira, thanks for such explanation. This video has been very helpful for me. I am intended to apply for PhD degree this year and need a sop review. I would like to know if you do sop review voluntarily.
