maadaputtar Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 hey grad applicants, how much of your essay have you devoted to actually explaining the content of your research? are you metioning specific lab techniques and experiments? i was thinking of just describing my research in 2 sentences and then spending a bit more space describing what i have learned from this experience. does that sound ok? i am a little hesitant as the instructions ask you to 'describe' your premedical studies.

w301088563 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey maadaputtar, I think you are on the right track with the emphasis of your statement towards what you learned. Mind you I am also just applying so I am unsure of what UT expects. But I do know that as a grad student your research prob requires you to be an expert whereas the committee may (probably) not have the same background as you thus going into alot of jargon may be detrimental to your app. w301088563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I write a small paragraph summary of the objectives of my program? (Sicne I have no publications, presenatations, etc). Thanks in advance I would write what is relevant. That means you can write how your grad studies contributed to you as a person, or how they helped you on your path to meds. Don't write about all your techniques and such- you may have someone with no knowledge of them reviewing your app, and the info will be pretty much wasted. Anecdotes are good. Making things relevant is good. Don't just list what you did like you would on a resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just list what you did like you would on a resume. i spent 1-2 lines describing my role at jobs i had post school b/c i was worried just giving a title would not be enough of an explanation. i then build on the relevance to meds after this. hope that wont come acorss resume-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I wouldn't mention anything if it's not relevant to your PS. That's what the list of 48 is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to keep my description/duties to an absolute min - jsut enough so you could grasp what i did with my job. I find coming in from a totally different area, i had to give things a little more context Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
