I didn't have to go to orientation for that; I'm reading <em>The Naked Roommate: For Parents Only: Calling, Not Calling, Roommates, Relationships, Friends, Finances, and Everything Else That Really Matters when Your Child Goes to College</em>.

Hey! Just wanna say I totally feel you. I'm trying to work, taking prerequisite courses, write personal statements, gain unpaid volunteer experience (which requires prep to lead workshops for people with communication disorders, etc). I bought a book called "Graduate Admissions Essays" and it includes tons of sample essays from people who got into really prestigious schools, along with tips and suggestions to get the create juices flowing.

Here's the link from Amazon if it helps https://www.amazon.ca/Graduate-Admissions-Essays-Fourth-School-ebook/dp/B0062OCMYA/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=grad+school+personal+statement&amp;qid=1636728487&amp;s=digital-text&amp;sr=1-4 Graduate Admissions Essays, Fourth Edition: Write Your Way into the Graduate School of Your Choice (Graduate Admissions Essays: Write Your Way Into the)

Also, I'd be happy to look over your personal statement or exchange statements and offer any feedback, if you'd like. I applied last year (put all my eggs in one basket and only applied to ONE very competitive program) and am applying again this year.

When I was applying, I got this book by Donald Asher: Graduate Admissions Essays. There were examples in there, but also a lot of practical advice and tips on how to write a successful statement of purpose. I found it really helpful when I was applying and writing.

You can also ask your professors if they have examples of past students' essays to share; some colleges also keep examples on file, either at the departmental level or in some other office. For example, my college's office of study abroad kept old successful Fulbright and other fellowship applications on file, and my graduate school had successful NSF statements on file for us to peruse.

Interviews are used to add another dimension to your application. They usually can't make or break unless you really impressed. Essays are definitely a lot more important.

Okay, now you can get it directly on Amazon https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08NSLH3GS and the price has been reduced to 399 after a lot of attempts to reduce the size and cut costs (for whatever reason, amazon charges me for "wireless delivery").

Okay, so I've made some changes, cut some costs, and here it is on Amazon now https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08NSLH3GS for ₹399. I told you, I want everyone to be able to afford this, and that meant slashing that 1. Make sure you guys review it on Amazon!

All I ask is that you spread the word, when you come across any other UCEED communities, or to friends who you know are preparing. Share it share it

I would also recommend taking a look at this book. Honestly, all personal statements are boring and cliche. They follow a similar pattern and use similar styles. Your goal is not to revolutionize the personal statement, your goal is to write one that is at least comparable to most.

Look through both books and try to mimic the things they do. The PS is about why you cant to pursue a career in medicine. Your journey, your story, the decisions and actions you've made that led you to choose this path.

Hey everyone,

Wanted to share a book I recently published:

Behind the Ivy Curtain: A Data Driven Guide to College Admissions $4.99

Here's parts of the description:

"Want to know what separates successful Ivy League applicants from the rest? This book uses real data from nearly 5,000 students to discuss what works and what doesn't for Ivy League admissions, and presents a plan that any student can use to maximize their chances of getting accepted to a top school.

I analyzed SAT/ACT/GPA/test scores as well as qualitative things like extracurriculars and recommendations/essays from the College Confidential forums to build up a database of profiles and admission outcomes. The book is intended for high school students and parents who want to learn more about what happens "behind the scenes" in the admissions process and what things make an applicant competitive and what is just a waste of time.

The three unique things about this book: 1. It discusses what happens after you submit your application, so you understand how you're evaluated. 2. It analyzes data from thousands of students (via College Confidential forum posts) to see what was effective. Some schools have systems to do this, but to date nobody has parsed data from all over the world to analyze outcomes over several years (2009-2014). 3. It summarizes all this up to give you clear, actionable advice on what to focus on to maximize chances of admission to a top school. "

I'd love to get your thoughts!

I teach at RIT, and I wrote a book to help. It's called Carpe College, and the kindle e-book version is FREE until TOMORROW (Tuesday, 12/2 @ midnight CST). If you know any HS seniors, college freshmen, or their parents, maybe they'll find this of value. Here's the link, or go to CarpeCollege.com. Hope this helps in some way! http://www.amazon.com/Carpe-College-Seize-Whole-Experience-ebook/dp/B00PPMNNMK/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sr=8-1&amp;qid=1385959133
