I'm currently working on my statement of academic purpose for graduate school applications. I am applying to Masters in Latin American Studies programs. I am a first-generation, Hispanic-American woman and currently a Fulbright fellow. Does having a Fulbright make me stand out to an admissions committee? Also, are diversity statements worth writing or increase my chances?

I'm finishing up my personal statement for a Masters in Speech Pathology and am really worried that the fact that I didn't major in speech pathology in undergrad (Spanish major) will give me a disadvantage. If anyone could give me feedback on how to strengthen my personal statement I'd really appreciate it. Speech Pathology Masters Personal Statement .docx

I am a May 2020 college graduate and am finalizing my application for the 2021-22 Fulbright ETA in Greece. This is one of the more competitive grants with 13 fellows chosen. I am a dual citizen of the U.S. and Spain (not sure if that makes a difference). My qualifications are: Studied abroad in Madrid TEFL-certified and experienced teaching English Certified Medical Interpreter Taught myself to speak Greek through Google Translate even though fluency in Greek is not required. Was a club head for a literary translation magazine Right now I'm doing the final edits on my statement of grant and personal statement. If anyone has advice on how to make my application stand out, I'd really appreciate it.
