[@권왕비]

I got a lot of helpful information from your video. thanks :) Now, I am filling out the HGSE application. And I saw this question in the application form. 'listing the other schools to which you are applying.' How did you answer this question???

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

Hi, I’m glad the video was helpful. I answered the question by stating two safety schools and 2 reach schools.

@@user-vq3lk If the program is a good fit for you, I would apply. You never know if you will get in if you don’t give yourself the chance to get in.

@@IvanValdovinosGradSchool Hi Ivan I am preparing my CV for your feedback. I have a question: I googled that in CV for PhD one should "showcase research skills gained through Masters and Undergraduate dissertations or projects, lab work or specific technical skills where relevant"- should this section be on a CV? As I can see it is NOT a research section, but for example software used during the course work, labs It's appreciate any advice? I just want to make it as fuller as I can not to touch after I my alterings based on your future comments. Also, do you have time for checking CVs now?

I thought it was necessary to share about your previous research experiences in your sop

[@IvanValdovinosGradSchool]

Yes it is, but because of the page limit I decided to speak about my research from a course I took instead of my other experiences which weren’t as relevant to this program. The committee will still see that research experience when reviewing my resume. So I chose to talk about my research experience from a course I took which was related to the them of this SOP which was family engagement.

@@IvanValdovinosGradSchool hmmm, I imagined. I am having the same trouble now. Just can’t do all in 2 pages double-spaced. I believe I will follow your strategy
