Ask HN: How to write a Top Grad School Personal Statement
1 comments
Assuming you're going into a research program (MSc, PhD) rather than a professional program (MBA, MD, LLB): Focus on research. Admissions decisions at the graduate level are almost always made by individual departments, and the top-of-mind question for the person reading your submission will be "could this be a future co-author?"
Also any tips from the community would be appreciated.
