    The statement of purpose is your opportunity to express to the admissions officers that you are a passionate, diligent, and mature student that deserves an admit. However, common mistakes in your essay can stop you from expressing yourself as such a student. In this video, I discuss the top 5 most common mistakes in a Master's, PhD, or MBA application SOP that students make so that you avoid them in your own essay.

    summary of the video:
    1. avoid vague platitudes(instead be as much specific as you can and avoid vague general statements)
    2. avoid writing irrelevant pre-college experiences( if you mentioned this part be care that these almost outdated info are highly related to your purposes and goals.)
    3. do not state bunch of courses you have taken in BA or MA (just mention relevent courses to the program)
    4. state projects and experiencs related to the position or(if the experiences are irrelevant write about the skills that you have learnt from them which you can bring to this new field)
    5. talk about your future career aspirations (long term and short term goals)

Would that constitute to a negative statement or it would be taken as a genuine and realistic example.

      Of course, if you are applying for an undergraduate program, you will mention your pre college achievements, specifically focusing on your 4 years of High School. What he said in the video was targeted towards Master's and PhD applicants only. Since, they have experienced 3-5 years of college, it's relevant for them to mention those college achievements.
