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.

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.

[@stlouislord28]

Do you have any advice for someone who has a master's and completed a capstone (group) project instead of a thesis?

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

If you are applying to a PhD programs, you should write about this experience and try to tie in the research elements into the narrative. I offer a statement of purpose review service if you need help: www.fiverr.com/s/31dlgV?CopyLink_Mobile

[@manishtimilsina423]

I have been freelancing for about 4 years now. Shall I list down the freelancing experience on my CV ? I did tutoring and chemical engineering related projects and I will be applying for a PhD in chemical engineering.

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

Yes you should! Make sure to describe the chemical related projects in more detail in the description piece of the experience.

[@pepegomez7615]

How long should a CV for a master's application? Is 1.5 pages too long? Thank you!

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

A CV is usually a longer academic document so 3-5 pages or longer. If there are no specific guidelines, I would recommend 3-5 pages. It honestly depends on your field and your overall application approach. I submitted a 5 page CV when I was applying to masters programs because I felt like I needed to show all of my experiences due to me applying straight out of undergrad. I technically didn’t have any full time work experience and I was applying to terminal masters programs. Those programs are usually seeking to accept people who already have work experience. For a research based masters, you will want to emphasize research experience.

[@miragesthapit7086]

What if 3-5 bullets are not enough to describe my experiences and projects? Is this a hard rule?

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

No, you can definitely have more than 5. I stayed this because I’ve seen resume/cv with two bullets, so my advice would be to have at least 3-5 to make it compelling.

[@BTS_vid_streamer_mermaid]

Is it wrong to put high school education in phd application cv?

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

@@BTS_vid_streamer_mermaid Yes, at this level of education the committee only values undergraduate and above education. Anything to do with high school should not belong in your resume or CV.

[@stephenikomosefe]

Is there any app i can use?

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

No that I’m aware of.

[@Learning-B]

What about refree Should we leave it out.

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

Yes! On the graduate school application, there is going to be a spot where they ask for that information. No need to replicate on the resume/CV.
