Will be applying to PhD programs this cycle. Thank you for the insight! Glad this vid popped up upon me frantically searching "how to write graduate school statement of purpose" lol
Thank you for this, especially for reading your statement of purpose. You just have to be proud of the "younger you". Fantastic job. I was blown away and inspired, yet a bit intimidated. Wish you more success. Wish me luck too.
Where I'm at (Belgium) it's more like a cover letter you would write to accompany your resume. Then again, where I'm at, a PhD is viewed upon more like a 1st job basically...with decent pay!
This is so helpful! I keep rewriting mine because I’m not sure how technical it should have been but hearing yours helps me to know what I need to put in mine!
This is crazy! I didn't know you can literally tell a story for the statement of purpose. I'm also trying to see if I can apply for Dr. Li's group for PhD
Thanks for this video. I’m also interested in doing postgrad pharmaceutical science. I’m currently a holder of BSc. Biochemistry. I would like you to be my mentor please 🙏 Can I get your email or something?
Hi Bridget! I'm not sure about other schools but for mine I didn't need to put an address because it was part of an application package! I suggest you check with the school that you are applying to
I have discovered this channel lately and now i am s big fan of it Could you pls if you have a chance make conversation videos in lab Between you and your mentor or supervisor about real life in lab How he gives you instruction guidance schedule. Something like that And another videos about real life conversation among team members in lab Or simulation As i am not a native And this world is completely different.
Aww thank you so much 🥰 that is so kind of you! That is such a great video idea! I actually spoke to my supervisor just yesterday about a possible video together with him! He seems hesitant but not absolutely turned off to the idea ;) he has a youtube channel too! You can look him up: th-cam.com/channels/kMMtQp_VrzswdFm0aKsT_w.html What kind of topics would you be interested in watching b/w me and my labmates?
@@anniochan Thanks a million for your kind and fast response Ist day at lab ..how you got to know him and make aquaintance with your teammates and then the survival phrases and questions on a daily basis between mentee and mentor Survival phrases between team members Action verbs in lab like verbs to run machine and equipments Verbs to deal with instruments gadgets tools in lab Cause actually i had some obstacles with English as a language And also lab life Thank you very much
Hi, Thank you so much for this beneficial video. I'm going to apply for fall2023 and the professor that I have talked to said he will be my supervisor and responsible for my funding. However, he said I have to write the name of another professor on my application who is currently working in the related Faculty so that I can get accepted. I wonder if I have to write the name of both professors on my SOP or not?
Hey, If you look at Canada’s health sector it is not good at all. The doctors I met didn’t care about my illness because it is not life threatening. I hope your education and your good nature will add some humanity to this crippling and inhumane health sector in Canada. You have acquired a great knowledge and wish you will contribute to a positive change in there. ♥️

When does it actually requires? By the time of contacting your potential sypervisor Or at the time of admission?

Yes, this statement of purpose is basically a cover letter haha OH interesting! We definitely do not get paid well as PhDs in Canada LOL

Hello, I was thinking how many words would a personal statement need to be? 800? 1000? or 1500? Thanks in advance for the reply! ;)
Hi Jackie - it depends on the program you are applying so make sure to check their requirements. I believe mine was about 1000 words!
Thanks for the tips! I am in the process of writing one myself. How long is yours by the way, is it over 2 pages?
Goodluck with writing! Mine was actually only 1 page!
@@anniochan Oh really! How many words was it?
@@forfun5140 Ya it's about 700 words - pretty short!
Please drop some more of your wisdom on us, Anne!
i am blushing LOL
Please ma'am I really need to know does this statement require adress of sender or receiver at the top of it?

Ist day at lab ..how you got to know him and make aquaintance with your teammates and then the survival phrases and questions on a daily basis between mentee and mentor
Survival phrases between team members
Action verbs in lab like verbs to run machine and equipments
Verbs to deal with instruments gadgets tools in lab
Cause actually i had some obstacles with English as a language
And also lab life
Thank you very much
