Navigate your applications...
Cydney was such a support to me in navigating my journey through a mountain of applications. She sat down with me and made me go through where I was thinking of applying to, what the courses on offer entailed, and what materials and statements I would need to make the applications. She is very organized and helped focus my mind on what I wanted to study and where I wanted to apply.
Stand out with strong writing...
Cydney went through my written application materials very carefully, especially the essay sections and research proposals. She showed me where I was being clichéd or generic, and suggested that I use ‘power’ words to be assertive and confident, rather than write in a passive voice. It really helped my applications stand out.
Get your point across...
Cydney was particularly good at helping me to get across exactly what it is that interests me about my chosen field of study. I had become so bored of the application process, and so cynical about writing what I felt that the receiving admissions board wanted to hear, that my applications were looking dull. With Cydney’s help, I crystallized my experience and drive into a great research proposal.
Experience and knowledge you need...
Cydney is a very experienced practitioner. There is nothing she does not know about the Higher education system, and was particularly helpful in showing me the different ethos that different grad schools embody. Consequently, she showed me how to tailor my application to these different audiences, and maximise my chance of success with each. Fingers crossed it pays off!
