    Very helpful tips, and it's obvious that you genuinely want to help out people, not just getting more audience

      @@LaurenValdez in most SOP I've seen people tell their story. But this SOP is different and straightforward to the technical part. Is this approach better instead of people telling stories of how they fell in love with mathematics or engineering or how their father adviced them to read medicine.

    Idk if you'll be seeing this comment but Lauren, yours is the first video that I have come across (after watching many on yt) that has helped me way more than others. I must say this is the only video one needs to see to gain complete clarity on the structure of a desirable SOP. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

    Great job! Do you have any videos to help students with essays for first gen college students? My son is a current senior in H.S and he will be hopefully applying soon. But he’s struggling with his essays 😅 he will be a first gen college student 🤗

      You aren't required to, but you can add footnotes or reference the source but you don't need a full citation

    The example you used for the person describe themselves as a Latina scientist would violate most application guidelines since it indicates a woman of color. You also chose PhD statement of purposes for a field that easily has many Noble causes it does not help anyone who is writing an SOP for a field such as economics
