caligirl002 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 This is my first time applying to schools. The next few weeks I will be writing and rewriting my personal statement. Once my essay/s have gone through several drafts, is there anyone that is willing to read it and give feedback? I'm a decent writer, but keep seeing the importance of the personal statement and want to make it as succinct as possible. I would also consider an essay swap with people. Thanks in advance.
Chandru1 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I am also applying and hoping for the same! I can read your essays and give you feedback on style/perspective, but as you can imagine, I can't help with reviewing them in the context of whether they'll help you get in.
caligirl002 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 That sounds good. Give me a couple of weeks to do a few drafts and I will private message you.
lookwhoslp Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Hey-- just saw this. I'll be applying as well, do you want to read each others? Mine's still in the works but I might have one draft soon.
caligirl002 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Yes, We could absolutely so a swap. Let me know when you want to trade. I have been working on mine and think my revised version is better, but it's still in the beginning stages.
Missthang Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I've said this to a few others in this SLP forum: If you are still in school or just recently graduated, your university should have a career services center or something like it that offers help with applying to grad schools (finding programs, help w/ interviews and applications, personal statement and resume building and the list goes on...). I used many of their grad resources last Fall and it helped me out tremendously! Also once you have what you believe to be your final draft, definitely take your paper to a writing center and have it read over for one last look by a professional. Many professors are more than happy to review and offer advice/critiques, especially if they are one of your potential LOR writers. It helps them get a sense of who you are outside of their class and also because they know what admission committees are looking for.
caligirl002 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 That's great advice for people that are not in between schools.
jpiccolo Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Hi! Is anyone still writing? I am! Lots to go. Ugh.
timberlake Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I just finished a first draft and I'm looking to have someone read it. Could anyone help me out?
