Education, Information
Putting down some thoughts on how to approach PhD applications to Global North universities from my own experiences of doing applications in the Fall 2020 cycle (a tough year!). I’ll be starting grad school in Fall 2021, and a lot of friends and peers have already asked for advice since they plan to apply in the coming cycle. So I thought of collating a guide. Feel free to shoot questions or amendments after reading this. This is a broad primer for humanities and social science scholars.

Find 5+ Fully Funded Graduate Programs

Education, Information, Scholarships
For those of you planning to apply to graduate school this year or next, I'm writing today to emphasize an important piece of advice. I encourage you to apply to at least 5 graduate programs at once. Here's why! First, this approach will provide you a greater chance of success in getting into at least one, but possibly 2 or more, programs that offer you full funding. Having several offers on the table gives you more negotiating power for a greater funding package and also acceptance off waitlists.  Also, it's important not to put all your eggs in one basket. This is because many factors can change over the course of the year after you apply -  factors that will be out of your control - like pandemics, cuts to program funding, the need to diversify…
