  Hi I was late to the call and didn't get the intro to the two wonderful panelists. Will you post who they are? I'd love to reach out just to say thank you.

  My professors frown upon using conjunction words in formal essays, but for the sake of saving space, should we use/not use conjunction words in our personal statement or any supplemental writings?

  Hello Tajira,

  I actually came into the Zoom call towards the end since my schedule was overlapping. I really enjoyed what I did catch.

  Will the edited recorded version be posted and available under the "live sessions" webpage?

  Hi @kendra24, thank you so much for your question! Honestly, this is a subjective thing. I've read thousands of statements, and I have zero preference on conjunction use. I've never seen a candidate dinged for using conjunctions or heard any committee member complain. We're more focused on the quality of the writing and whether things make sense grammatically.
