What's up scholars! In this video, I share with you a statement of purpose for the PhD in Social Welfare at the University of California Berkeley (UC-Berkeley). This applicant takes a unique approach with the structure of the statement of purpose. The application breaks down the statement of purpose into multiple sections that allow the reader to know exactly what the focus of that section is going to be about. One key reason why I think this applicant was admitted into UC-Berkeley PhD in Social Welfare program was because the applicant had a clear focus: social emotional learning (SEL) in the school context. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOP REVIEW SERVICE https://www.fiverr.com/share/4XpxBb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY ACADEMIC BACKGROUND - Bachelor of Arts in English (concentration: teacher preparation) from Washington State University - Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages and Cultures (concentration: Spanish) from Washington State University - Master of Education in Education Policy and Management from Harvard Graduate School of Education ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO AM I? I am a Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni '16 and a current PhD student in the Department of Education Studies at the University of California San Diego. I produce videos about the graduate school application and my journey through a PhD program. Subscribe to follow my journey through the PhD experience and to gain insight on how to best prepare for the graduate school application process. I created this channel because I did not have access to many resources when I was applying for graduate programs. Now that I have been through two graduate school application processes, I want to share my knowledge and the helpful information I have gained through those experiences. Additionally, for the past four years, I have been working as a Retention Specialist and Director for a federally-funded program at a higher education institution. I spent these four years helping over 400 students to apply to four-year institutions, attain scholarships, and navigate the higher education system. I created this channel in order to share my knowledge of college access as it pertains to graduate school. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
