Need help or a second opinion on your personal statement?

[Jbslp95]

Hey all,

I absolutely love editing and do it for my day job. I’ve had a slow few weeks at work and am looking for something to do  so I figured I’d make an open offer to edit/offer feedback on anyone’s personal statement/letter of intent for SLP grad school. It’s something I enjoy and I think it’s really difficult sometimes to objectively edit your own work! I personally think my LOI has a huuuuge impact on my getting into grad school, since I had quite a low GPA. If you’d like help, leave a comment and I will PM you my email address so you can send me your draft. Please don’t spend money getting someone to edit your work, I love this shit and will do it for free

If you don’t mind me asking, what was your GPA? What schools did you apply to/get accepted?

Hi! I'd love to have you do this, I had such a hard time finding people who could be objective. Lemme do some edits tonight and send it your way, i'll DM you

Hey! My GPA was like 2.8 I think? Applied to Northeastern, MGH, BU, and Emerson (all competitive Boston schools). Got into Emerson. Don’t put too much stock into other people’s scores, though. Between grades, test scores, letter of rec, personal statement, experience, work experience... it’s really hard to compare yourself to others. If I listened to all the people in this forum, I probably wouldn’t have even applied to grad school ? good luck!!!

Are you still available to review personal statements?  I'm applying to a Masters of IT program and need to submit one with my application. I know this is not the forum for IT stuff, but I just need someone good at writing.

I think that's great I'm also willing to help out and read over an admissions essay / personal statement. PM me for my email

Perhaps we could make this a thread of people who are willing to look over personal statements, so that no one person gets overwhelmed with requests and anyone who needs an opinion can have one? I'm an incoming first year grad student who LOVES to edit or just provide feedback on anything, whether it's topics you're thinking of using, the flow/clarity of your statement, etc. I applied to quite a few schools with different essay requirements, had to write additional essays, and picked a difficult/sensitive topic for my PS, so I can offer all kinds of advice. PM me and I'd be more than willing to help out!

Hi!!! Are you still available to look over personal statements? I am actually starting to apply to grad school for SLP and I am starting to work on my personal statement. I actually have multiple to right. If you are able to, that would be great. Let me know and thank you in advance!

Sure! PM me and we'll exchange emails. Are you applying to SLP programs?

I know this is an older thread, but is anyone still willing to review statements, or does anyone new want to? I'd love some extra eyes to look mine over and give some objective feedback, and I would happily help others with their SOP in return!

[KendallSLPA]

Would you mind sharing some of your LOI with us? 

[Inbal]

HEY! Would you still be willing to edit? One of the schools I am applying to is MGH so it'd be great to have someone who applied there look it over!:)

Hi! I know this post was quite a few months ago but are you still available to look over personal statements? I really would appreciate any help!
