Example

Enhancing a Statement of Purpose by integrating a clear narrative that connects the applicant's past research experiences, current interests, and future aspirations with the specific offerings and faculty expertise of the graduate program.

Scenario

An applicant struggling to express how their background in behavioral economics positions them for a program specializing in social policy analysis. I guide them to highlight specific courses, projects, and the relevance of their research to the program's focus areas.

Example

Advising on the organization of a Curriculum Vitae to prioritize academic achievements, research projects, and relevant professional experiences that underscore the applicant's readiness and fit for the targeted graduate program.

Scenario

A candidate with a diverse set of experiences unsure of how to structure their CV for a sociology Ph.D. application. I suggest focusing on research experiences, key academic projects, and relevant work experiences, detailing contributions and outcomes to demonstrate competence.

Example

Providing insights on the content of Letters of Recommendation, focusing on highlighting the applicant's achievements, potential for graduate study, and suitability for a career in social sciences.

Scenario

An applicant receives a draft letter from a recommender that is too generic. I suggest specific achievements and qualities to be emphasized, based on the program's emphasis on research innovation and leadership in the field.
