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.

why is no one talking about how cute he is. You are very intelligent too i wish you all the best in everything. Thanks for the videos
This is a great video. IT always helps to share the mistakes in SOPs rather than saying how it should be.
You are extremely articulate! The examples are great.. Thanks for helping out.. :)
Thanks!!
This is so helpful. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for the beautiful content brother. God bless you!
Such an excellent content. How did this not get a like for every view?
Wow ! Amazing sir . Mine is missing that last point . Thanks so much 😊
Thanks. Very helpful!
Your content is very helpful, but the background music is a little louder than your actual voice tone.
efficient and helpful. thanks.
Thank you very much for your tips :)
The Jordan Peterson of Graduate Admissions! :D
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 avoid writing irrelevant pre-college experiences( if you mentioned this part be care that these almost outdated info are highly related to your purposes and goals.)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)
Awesome......thanks a lot....first comment....
Thank you!!! 😊
I have watched a lot of videos on SOPs but not a single one is as precise a video as this one. Struck a chord right when I got stuck whilst doing the essays.
Thanks a lot!!
great advices
Video is great and helped me a lot, Thanks for it but the background music is very distracting.
Hi. Pls I can’t seem to access the webinar in the link you put up in the description box
Your accent is awesome
Also, what would you recommend if one feel the industry isn’t there in the field they wanna work in their home country and the kind of job market in that field, so that’s the reason of pursuing Masters. Would that constitute to a negative statement or it would be taken as a genuine and realistic example.
Is it right to mention the (career) aspirations job roles, company names in the SOP itself.?
Thanks
Can we mention the project we are currently working and had not been completed?

Is it recommended to give personal reasons that motivated you to apply for the course that you're apply??
Absolutely!
Question : in terms of writing about the experience, should we describe in detail about the exact work we did or should we just name the institution / company and talk about our learnings?
I think a nice blend of all three. You briefly describe what you did and where you did it, you reflect on the lessons, then link back to your course (how everything motivates you to pursue the chosen course). Hope this helps :)
@@nuutiii Thnx a lot :)
Hi. Can we connect ? I'm currently working on my SOP and could really use your help
How much do you charge to review a sop ?
Hi @Sachin, I want to apply for MS in Business Analytics but my bachelor degree is in Electronics engineering, I have 4 years of experience, would be advisable to omit my B.Tech details in my sop and only state facts related to my work experiences?
Yup, you can do that no problem.
I'm a mechanical graduate and wish to do masters in Artificial intelligence.Since it is not related to my stream,how should I tweak my SOP?
Discuss your career goals and why the program will help you achieve them. Then, when you talk about your past experiences, only bring up the ones where you gained transferable skills that can be applied in the field of AI or anywhere in your career.
should I mention in a sop
the reason why my gpa is low? I met with an accident just before my finals
Yes, you should!
What if I dont have any internships or projects at all and I want to apply to phd? Is there any chance of any university ?
Messed up pretty bad huh buddy?
Hey sachin is there any word limit for SOP? and if i m.adding my personal experiences like my mothers illness inspired me to take this peerticular medical course..do i need to attach her medical report?
Hey Sachin, as you said you are not supposed to mention your pre-school achievements in your SOP, however, is it alright if I mention them in my resume; things like awards, volunteering, scholarships, achievements, and so on?
Yes but they won't count for much
bro i did you become a sop reviewer?
Why is this video not visible on your channel playlist?

Hey Sachin..
I got offer for Human resource management and marketing management.but my degree is BSc in applied sciences (computer science, mathematics statistics).I have work experience in Operations analyst feild..Is it better to accept the offer or do I need to decline it??I have overall 6 for IELTS.If I apply visa with this offer ,will it reject??
Hey! Did you make it?
Is SOP evaluation free ? I suppose not. Can you tell me what are the charges of it.
Hey Nishant, the link is in the description with all the details! I don't want to state the charges here as they may change by the time someone reads this in the future :)
Hey, I am going to Canada for Ug. I completed my high school this year. I have only pre college achievements. What should I do ?
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.
@@rishitachakraborty9783 Thank you so much
