Hello everyone, I am planning to apply for the global history MA program at Freie Universität Berlin. I have been reading very mixed reviews on the program over the internet. It will be great if someone who is/was a student of the program could share their reviews and opinions about the program. Others who are also familiar with the program are welcome to share their views. I have graduated from an Indian University (University of Delhi). It will be really helpful if there is someone from the same university or another Indian graduate (from any university) who had appllied to germany, explain the application procedure to FU and give me the details/requirements on certified copies that needs to be provided to them (especially on who can certify copies in India). Thank you, Jacob Thomas

Hello, The Schools I am applying to have a word cap for SOP at 1000. Is it safe/advisable to exceed this limit? Do ad comms take this as a serious breach or would let it pass? Thank you for your time.

Hello! I am applying to Ph.D. programs in History (Modern South Asian Legal history) and hoping to have my Statement of Purpose reviewed. I have a few people from my previous school giving me feedback, but I'm hoping to get a few more opinions. It's currently 4 pages double-spaced (1140 words). Reply/PM if you're willing to help me out! I'll swap if you have an SOP you want to be reviewed.

The research idea is completely original, but there are a few paraphrased sentences from published work while describing some specific scenarios. The word limit is actually causing a problem in giving exact references.

Do graduate schools check SOP for plagiarism? If they do, what would be an acceptable level of resemblance/similarity to already existing texts (in percentage)?

Can someone tell me whether I should retake gre before applying to History Phd programmes. My present scores are- 158v and 160q. I am planning to apply to top 20 schools and don't want a premature discarding of my file due to low gre scores.
