Statement of Purpose Mistake that got me REJECTED from the University of Michigan
#SOP #StudyAbroad #UniversityApplication
Statement of Purpose, or commonly known as SOP, is an important part of any university application. A lot of colleges assess your caliber through your SOP and many of us (including me) make common mistakes that can get you rejected. In this video, I share the mistake I made when I wrote my SOP for University of Michigan. Hopefully, this will help you avoid the same error when you apply to colleges.

Sometimes I think that it is too harsh that students have to prepare both SOP and PS
Hi Sachin, hope you are doing well. Could you please help me out, I'm a working professional and have been thinking of taking the GRE for fall 2022. Whats the latest by which i can write the GRE, is it too late for Fall 2022?
Hi Sachin! Can you do a seminar or do a video on Personal statement?
Thank you so much dear 💟☮️
Hi the Link for webinar is not functional, what is wrong? in the video you drop you ask that the red icon should be click and i have tried doing that but to no avail
Hi Sachin. Thamks for the valuable information! I am also applying to Purdue and U Michigan fot Fall 2024. I have a doubt though. Has Purdue recently changed the 500 word limit fot LOR? I went through each and eveey webpage of MS in Mechanical Engineering application and no where could I find it mentioned the 500 word limit. Also, even Purdue has started asking for a separate Personal Statement. But the world limit i could not find it anywhere. Can you check it once and confirm if i am correct? I'll be very thankful!
Can you please explain the procedure to fill in masters application for international student in University of Michigan ann Arbor

Hi, for university of michigan, how long should the SOP and Personal Statement be? There is no mention of word count or length anywhere on the website. Thanks

I don't remember, but I think there was no limit for the SOP, but a 500 word limit for the personal statement? Some other departments at Michigan might have suggested limits.
Do we need to mention backlogS IN bachelor degree in our SOP?
Hello! Can you please tell me the difference between statement of purpose and letter of intent? Are they similar in any way?
Hi Sachin! Can you please explain about the pros and cons of non thesis ms course (1-1.5yrs) and thesis ms course. Many universities including University of michigan and purdue offer non thesis track but im not sure if its a good choice

The non-thesis track is a solid option. That's the one I chose. Thesis track is good if you want to get into research. Job-wise, both are about the same.

Hello Sachin! I was wondering if i could get admitted in one of the top 50 universities with just 73% ( 3.3 GPA) aggregate score in bachelor's degree (civil engineering), considering all other requirements (GRE, TOEFL, SOP) to be perfect?

Hii , I'm actually trying to apply for University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I have a doubt in the gpa calculator. Whether i have to enter the scores of each and every subjects which I have read during my undergrad, those subjects will come around 60-62 subjects. Else, whether i have enter only my total cpga of my undergraduation and convert it into gpa?
