80/20 for Master's Applications: What Actually Moves the Needle

Overview: A fast, practical mini‑workshop for applicants to non‑professional master’s programs (MA/MS/MRes). In 20 minutes, we’ll focus on the small set of actions that drive most Fall‑start results—then spend 20–25 minutes on live Q&A. You’ll leave with: -A finalized one‑line positioning statement. -A plan to SOP outline and a customizable “fit” paragraph for at least one target program. -How to revise your CV section with 3–5 outcome‑driven bullets and an updated skills/methods block. -A recommender game plan (who to ask, what to send, and reminder dates). -A date‑anchored sprint plan from Nov 24 through your earliest December/January deadline.
