krogozinski Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 HI, so I am in the process of filling out my applications for graduate school - I'm applying to NYU and Columbia, and have already submitted my application for Rutgers. I am pretty confident in my writing skills, though not so much in what to write about. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on what I should focus on when writing my personal statement (to include/not include)? I hate the generic 'i chose social work because i want to help' but it is true lol thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qt_dnvr Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 If you have time the book "Graduate Admission Essays: Write Your Way Into Graduate School of Your Choice." was extremely helpful to me in my essay. There's poignant examples, pointers, exercises, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
