PhD Admissions 2021 Quick Tips
Are you applying for PhD programs and putting together your PhD applications in 2021? I've given out a lot of PhD admissions advice on this channel, but I thought I might distill: What are the most important things I think you should know, if I only have a minute to tell you? Who should you ask for advice, what are the most important things to cover in a statement of purpose, and things to (not) worry too much about, like GPA or GRE scores.
If you came across this video and are thinking of pursuing a PhD, my other videos might help! These cover everything from should you get a PhD to how much does a PhD cost to who should write your letters of recommendation to how to write a statement of purpose to how to ace a PhD interview to how do you choose a PhD advisor or which PhD program to go to!

As always, my advice is most useful for those looking at U.S. PhD programs in STEM or social science, though I think a lot of it is also broadly applicable!
