2020年5月11日 · 21 hours ago, Sigaba said: I recommend getting the writing sample down to the recommended limit. Do a pass through the original document to find opportunities for shorter sentences.

2011年7月26日 · Sigaba, if you want to expand upon your statement you could, I am honestly just confused. If I did misinterpret what you message was, I do apologize. I suggested that you might want to take your post down because regardless of what you intended to …

2017年2月2日 · Okay, so I am in need of some help. I have been admitted to both programs for an engineering PhD program beginning this fall. I thought I had decided on UCSB because it's been my #1 choice, but now I'm talking to a potential adviser from CU Boulder and am very confused. I cannot attend any of the...

2017年12月1日 · However, I don't think it is good advice for students to seek "honest" letters in the sense of "candid" or the description I quoted from @Sigaba here.

2020年11月9日 · I did my undergrad and masters in Latin America but on physics, now I entered the Universidad Catolica de Chile for astronomy.

2020年10月13日 · How strict are the word limits on SoPs? UCLA's PhD program asks for a Statement of Purpose that is "up to 500 words in length (approximately 1-page, single spaced, using 1-inch margins and 12-point font)." Currently I have 543 words (single-spaced, all on one page) and I'm not totally sure what t...
