Thank you so much for the video! Do you have any templates or examples of a well written letter of intent?

[@psychmic6871]

Hi Saul, thank you for the comment. I don't personally have any templates or examples, but I found this document online that may be helpful. It is not mine, and I am not able to comment on whether the examples here are all well-written personal statement - my expertise on the matter is limited. Perhaps it will strike some inspiration for people, but keep in mind that all statements are different, and the key is to write a statement that is unique to you. docs.google.com/document/d/11vTrJDNSXJR0w7SYhz_nYJ8oc6OA6DXAhStWrLxfaQ8/edit.

I have a question. You said that you should only mention 1 mentor who you really want to work with, however I have seen some grad programs say to “identify 2-3 faculties that aligns with your research interests”, and other say “identify a faculty you’re interested in working with”. I’m curious if this is more of how the application process work between different programs, or is there a universal answer for it.
