Abstract

In this November 2025 blog edition, we focus on one of the most personal and persuasive parts of your graduate school application — the personal statement. Beyond meeting requirements, it’s your opportunity to show who you are, what drives your academic passion, and how your goals align perfectly with your chosen program.

This edition breaks down what “fit” truly means, how to research faculty connections, and strategies for writing a statement that’s authentic, specific, and impactful.

We also feature MBA student John Kersey, whose journey from student-athlete to future leader in collegiate athletics showcases how purpose and preparation can shape a powerful graduate experience. Plus, check out upcoming Graduate School events and GSA leadership opportunities to stay connected and inspired.
