Are you applying for graduate study in the United States? This workshop helps you with your statement of purpose. Come and learn about what schools look for in a statement of purpose and how to write your own. We will look at sample successful essays together and them brainstorm ideas for your essay. After the session is over, participants can work one-on-one with the instructor in the following weeks to revise their essays.
Registration is required at debrecen@americancorner.hu until April 20, 2016
Speaker intro:
Hello! My name is Susanne Liaw and I am helping out at the American Corner in Debrecen, when I’m not teaching at the University of Debrecen or Wali Istvan Szakollegium. I am from Los Angeles, California, where I am a high school English teacher. From my experience working with students, I’ve observed that success is not so much about being “smart,” as having a positive attitude, working hard, taking risks, and challenging yourself. So if your dream is to study in the USA and you feel intimidated by the process, don’t be! Ask for help. I got my undergraduate degree in English, and I went to graduate school twice (for English, then Education) so I’ve been through the application process a few times! I’m happy to share my knowledge about the college application process, personal essay writing, and SAT/GRE with you. See you around!
