Hey, thanks for a post! Can you tell more about extra curricular? Because I've read at this website on statement of purpose that it is bad to tell about extra curriculat that is not relevant to your field. Is that so? Thanks for your time!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks! But recently I have read here about one more interesting document - diversity statement. Have you ever heard about it? I want to try to create it and I hope with it I will impress the committee.
