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.

This is a great video. IT always helps to share the mistakes in SOPs rather than saying how it should be.

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!!
Your content is very helpful, but the background music is a little louder than your actual voice tone.
Thank you!!! 😊
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.
great advices
Is it right to mention the (career) aspirations job roles, company names in the SOP itself.?
Thank you thank, any advice for me I am switching phd programs and schools?
Hi. Pls I can’t seem to access the webinar in the link you put up in the description box
Video is great and helped me a lot, Thanks for it but the background music is very distracting.

Broo i just want to know does long sop gives negative impact for visa?? Though everything is genuine??
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 :)
Bro I failed to sent a email because it shows this email address not found I don't know how..please help me
Can we mention two specialisations
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.
Hi. Can we connect ? I'm currently working on my SOP and could really use your help
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)
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?
Is it recommended to give personal reasons that motivated you to apply for the course that you're apply??
Absolutely!
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.
Hey Sachin, thanks for these precise points. I was wondering if we can get in contact as I have few doubts regarding my profile. Thanks
Yup just email us at connect@sachinpullil.com

Yes, you should!
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

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.

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 :)
Can we choose a different course to study in the US or do we have to choose the one we are taking for our bachelor's?

Hey is it okay to write ielts score in sop
I don't recommend writing any scores/GPA in your SOP since they have your transcripts/exam results.
In which university did you do your MS?
I was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania and deferred admission to Fall 21.
@@SachinPullil150 When exactly did you apply for your Masters.? Approx deadline and start of course for Fall Season.?
Hi do you review SOPs on your own or you have a team.
We have a team now that takes care of it :) They're even better than I am at it haha.
