Those grad students are evaluated on far more than test scores, and the essays matter a ton. US university admissions are even more holistic at the graduate level.
The candidates who have good test scores and nothing else get cut in the second round, it’s one of the easiest steps in doing the cull.
- kelipso 2y agoThe essays are about the actual research they are interested in doing, it's more like a part of a technical interview. Unlike the tell me about your life, do you play lacrosse, bs that undergrad college applicants have to go through.
- fhdsgbbcaA 2y agoThere is always a personal statement and they matter.
