Hi all,
I am working on my PhD applications and came across a few questions. Would love the thoughts of members about these.
1. Emory University is asking the list of the universities I am applying to. I was little surprised by the question. I have a mix of 8 schools: 3 top, 3 mid-ranked and 2 safe schools. Should I list down all of them or should I just select a few from them. Any idea what they are trying to assess from the answers of this question?
2. Some universities don't ask for writing sample but show option of attaching writing sample. Is there any chance it might help if I add the sample?
3. What is the standard Statement of Purpose word limit if they don't mention anything in the guideline?
