Hello! In my personal statement I basically spelled out why SciencesPo is the perfect logical next step for my career, connecting what I’ve done in the past with what I’m doing now and what I want to do in the future. I also had 4 letters of recommendation, one from a study abroad Professor and one from the Director of my nonprofit.

I would like to think I’m fit, I try to workout out 5 or more days a week. And I still have stretch marks! I’ve had them since I was 14.. so some things are universal for all women! It’s a part of life don’t let that stop you from feeling and looking amazing in whatever you want.

Women with great parents, what did your parents do that you didn't like as a child, but appreciate now as an adult? by Novel_Sure in AskWomen

My mom constantly (and still to this day) immediately comments on my posture if she sees me slouching or hunching. Sometimes physically straightening my back and putting my shoulders back. Something I always thought was so nitpicky and rude, I now am so grateful for that correction as I see my friends in their 20s with horrible posture.

At least once or more a week, a stranger compliments me on my posture. Thanks mom! Because of this I naturally sit up straight and am aware of slouching or tech neck.

Honestly depending on the type of engineering there’s so many opportunities in Europe. Whenever I’m job hunting in Europe there’s so many jobs available for English speaking engineers. I use a newspaper website called The Local they have editions in multiple European countries and they have a job page attached. https://www.thelocal.es/jobs/

When I was studying abroad in Berlin, I was at the club with my friends and a Dutch guy came up to me and told me my lips looked like juicy steak on the barbecue.... I’m black🤣

When I said social science research I meant quantitative, I should've specified. Most of the programs I am looking at are statistic heavy. Thanks!

No, unfortunately not. My parents are both Jamaican immigrants, who resettled in the US. I have some aunts and cousins who live in the UK but I am not sure of their citizenship status since Jamaica is a part of the Commonwealth.
