tcmazer Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I'm applying to Molecular and Cellular bio PhD programs and was wondering if there were any resources available to review my statement of purpose? I can paste it here but I didn't want to annoy you guys with another plea for review. tcmazer 1
MsDarjeeling Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Well this all depends on your contacts. If you're in touch with any professors from UG that's a great start. If your UG has a writing center you can access that would also be useful. tcmazer 1
tcmazer Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 I've contacted several professors in the field and they've helped out with looking it over, and I've signed up for a session with my local writing center, any other suggestions? tcmazer 1
jmu Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 At some schools career services can help you. I also think it's good to have a person outside your subfield look it over to make sure it is understandable to someone only broadly knowledgeable in the area. This is particularly important in departments where the focus is mixed as the adcomm will come from a variety of fields.
