ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Your statement of purpose is more than just another graduate school application requirement; it's your opportunity to tell your story. In this episode of Unpacking Grad School, we talk with Breanne McDonagh, assistant director of recruitment at Loyola University Chicago, about how to write a compelling statement that goes beyond grades and test scores. McDonagh discusses what admissions committees are looking for, how to connect your goals and experiences to a program's specific prompt (available on the program page and your applicant status portal), tips for career changers, common mistakes to avoid, and why authenticity matters most.
