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.

    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!
