I’m working on my Ph.D. application discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me with it.
Describe your experiences in 250- 300 words for each area:
1- Community Involvement and/or service: Share an example of a meaningful community activity in which you have been involved.
2- Leadership: Share an example in which you served in a formal or informal leadership role.
3- Overcoming social, economic, or physical barriers: Share an example of how you’ve overcome a significant barrier to success or learned to balance your academic progress with a significant personal challenge.
4- Personal and/or professional ethics: Share an example of how you demonstrated ethics in a difficult situation.
5- Coachability: Share an example of a time when you received suggestions for improvement from an instructor, supervisor, mentor, or another person in a position of leadership over you and how you responded to that feedback.
*Note:
- Potential areas to highlight are significant family responsibilities, a major illness or injury, how you have sought out resources or identified strategies to minimize the impact of a disability, or how you addressed experiences around bias that could have otherwise significantly impacted your academic progress.
