At The Time Of Your Admission Into The Program, You Were Asked To Complete An Admiss: Fill & Download for Free

I completed my 10 th standard in 2018. I got 95 percent in my boards . Everyone (the so called relatives) called me and some of them don't know that I am even existed 🙄 gave me advices 🤐😶Here comes the twist…I don't know any shit about IIT and NIT. My uncle told me you're so talented and you have got 95 percent in your boards and I'm damn sure that you can crack the JEE mains and advance .I was so motivated and pleased by his sweet words.I thought cracking JEE would be very easy bcoz it has only MCQ questions and 4 marks for each correct question(How stupid I was at that tym😑🤣😂). I already had a thought of changing my school after 10 th so I changed my school. This new school also had a tie up with Aakash institute. So I joined the new school and chose the 2 year distance learning program of AakashUnfortunately only 24 students chose JEE and among 24 only 4 were girls (including me)But more than 100 students chose NEET .So the teacher who came for coaching only took care about the NEET students and they didn't give any f#*! ing shit about JEE.Those teachers will waste our classes by giving advice and boasting about the performances of NEET students. My maths coaching sir will tell his childhood stories and his day to day life problems 😑😐So I decided to study on my own and I didn't concentrate on my boards.Eventhough I got very less percent in my mock tests.I was so devastated that I wasted my father's money( I'm so sorry Appa😭😞)My board exams were nearing and I also got very low marks in my monthly exams😬 so my board teachers started treating me differently (partiality) and they often asked me the same question Why are you getting low marks in your exams? Ur an JEE aspirant that means u have to top the exams🤯😭My computer teacher will always makes me to stand in her class bcoz she will conduct oral tests during her period😵and she will not question her favooo student(literally my frnd) bcz she is the topperSome how by overcoming all these difficulties I managed to get 77.8 percent in my boards and most of the students in my school got low marks due to vast portion and lack of time . My topper frnd also got low mark( I was so happy 🤠🙃)My teachers were so shocked by my performance in boards( respect gained ++ ) My computer teacher made me as a leader for my gang (91 out of 100 on my cs board exam) After this incident she never questioned me during her oral tests throughout my 12 standard………I took a big decision.I decided not to study JEE and during those classes I kept my board books underneath the bench and I started preparing for my boards. So that I can get good colleges in counseling.But at times if those coaching staffs noticed my book which I kept underneath the bench,they would take my books and make me to sit simply in those classes (Wasted a lot of days) 4 months passed like this..Then my board teachers extended the timings of the toppers (including me bcoz I did quite well in my exams ) upto 8.00 pm (13 hours in school)This became the worst part bcoz I don't study English,Tamil Nd Computer subjects because these subjects have nothing to do with cutoff and in these special classes they made the students to study all the subjects ..We students can't concentrate bcoz we were tired and also we can't study after going to our home.(3 months passed)I would have studied very well if I don't have such special classes 😠😵January,2020: I was busy with my practicals and writing records. My teachers were very busy in covering the portions bcoz it was huge..we students don't have time to cover all topics 🤕🤒😳February and March: I tried very hard somehow managed to cover the topics and I didn't go to my school. My board exams started in the very beginning of march and finished in the same month.I got my results in the month of July and it was very low 86.3 percent and my cutoff is also low. Now I m waiting for my engineering counseling Fingers crossed🤞 . Now I am struggling (not ananya panday🤪( I know it is a bad joke)) to get admission in a very good and decent collegeThis is the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life so far. Suppose if I didn't take JEE coaching I would have studied in a normal class and I would have fully focused on my boards…Those coaching staff would not disturbed me when I was preparing for my boards.☠️💀🙈🙉🙊Thank you for reading my big story 😎😊😋This is my unused JEE books 😒 and I didn't know y did I waste huge amount 😑

First of all, let me emphasize the fact that any applicant's SOP is THE most important organ of the overall application.Everyone read the statement above 3 times and let it sink into you that this is the part of your application you are gonna work upon the most. Before answering the question, I would like to explain why is an essay of around a 1000 words going to decide your future:It is the only part of your application through which you actually communicate with the admissions committee - You must have often heard that the interview is the deciding factor when sitting for job placements. Except for a few programs (mostly Ph.D.) graduate school admission process does not constitute of an interview round. So how is the university going to judge you (yeah I have to use that word), and how are they going to decide whether you are fit to roam their campus? They can't hear you talk, so they read you, through your SOP.The admissions committee know that anyone with a large number of influential contacts can build up a pretty decent CV, but if he/she is not as capable as his/her resume speaks, then it will clearly show when they start talking (in this case, writing in their SOP).It is the only chance you have to wash your previous sins and confess/explain clearly - By sins here I mean a sucky grade or an unfinished project, nothing more.Lets imagine you are applying for an MS in Computer Science in a really reputed university. You are not there in the top 10% of your class. You have 2 stinky incomplete projects, a ghost of an internship and no research papers. However, you have definite and clear goals and you are brimming with motivation for grad school. Can you show the university this side of yours? OF COURSE! Explain in your SOP! Be honest and tell them why you failed to work to your best of capabilities, but also tell them that you plan to do so now, and explain how. The university will be impressed.Of course, you need really great professionally persuasive skills and a touch of crispness. You are really marketing yourself through your SOP, thats what you are doing.Your SOP should portray you like this guy here:It is the only way you can express your desire and motivation for enrolling in that specific university - There can be a thousand reasons for you to enter a specific university, for example, a unique course content, a specially designed program, a qualified professor, research/entrepreneurial focus, etc. Please just don't say that the university was top ranked so you wanted to study there. That will achieve nothing.Talk about laboratory resources, specific research opportunities, potential for cross-disciplinary academics and other such stuff, and you will get the committee listening.It is the only component of your application where you get to be YOU - The committee really looks forward to reading your SOP as that is the only way they can get to know you and your thought processes before you actually enter the college. You can get even get a teeny tiny bit humorous and personal in your SOP. It doesn't hurt as far as your basic aim is to show the university your motivation for graduate studies and the solidarity of your goals. Do not lie, be transparent, and the university will definitely get impressed.Ok, I think now that I have displayed the significance of the SOP, I should go on to answer the actual question - What are the points to be covered in a Statement of Purpose?Due to the fact that my SOP got me selected to MIT and Stanford, the top ranked institutions in the world (trust me, in real life I am really modest), I will break down my SOP here paragraph by paragraph and try to explain everything as clearly as I can. Here I go:Para 1: Explain the significance of your field to the world in general. Start with an analogy or a fact. For example if you are going to pursue Environmental Engineering you can express concern about the depreciating state of energy and water, and carry on gracefully from there. Then mention how are you gonna solve this so called issue and to do that what course do you intend to pursue at the desired university.Para 2: Explain how your undergraduate education will play a significant role in your graduate development. Mention specific courses you opted in your undergrad (and why) and how will they complement the courses you intend to take in your grad school. At this point, visit the university's department website, open the course contents, and copy down the relevant courses from there. The university gets impresses by this research you did.Para 3: Mention you source of motivation here. It really helps to include a short story (2 lines) that explains how you built up this solid motivation. Then explain what you plan to do after grad school. This is a very important section of your SOP. Make sure you show the school that your goals are crystal clear and you are a serious prospective student.Para 4: Mention here all the relevant projects/internships you have completed at this stage. It is essential to include some relevant details and what have you learnt from these projects that would inch you closer to your set goals you mentioned in the previous paragraphs.Para 5: Your position in class and justify it. This is a short paragraph where you can also mention some abstract skills.Para 6: This is dedicated to all the social activities you have been involved in since you were born. US universities have a soft corner for social activities so make sure you do have something to write here! It can be anything from blood donation to some serious NGO work.Para 7: Mention some of your co-curricular activities here, which show that you are not just a boring academic person, but also do have a life! This content makes the admission committee get to know you on a personal level, and it really helps them to form an image of you.One thing, it may seem easy to lie in this paragraph, but please don't. The committee people have this uncanny ability to detect such lies, and trust me, if they think you are just boasting, it can have a negative impact.Para 8: Ok, now according to my POV this is THE MOST IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH of your SOP. Here you have to tell the university people why the hell do you wanna go there!! As I said earlier, make sure you give them solid reasons for doing so. These reasons should get them thinking and admiring their university. You require a lot of research to write this para. I used to scan each and every word on the department website before even thinking to come out with my reasons.Mention names of professors, labs, courses, facilities, projects and what not to get their attention.Para 9: This is the conclusion of your SOP. Remember to be modest and be soft. Express your gratitude and humbly ask for scholarship if you want one. That should do it.To conclude my answer, I would like to stress on the fact that it should be you and only YOU that writes your SOP. Do not hire experts to do this for you. The admissions committee is very experienced and will definitely come to know about this.So everyone, bring out the you on paper in about a 1000 words and make your future!! :)To witness the power of an effective SOP, see:UPDATE: Hi everyone! Please have a look at this piece of information below. It turns out the significance of the SOP is largely dependent on the program you are applying to. While the SOP has a major impact for engineering/science programs, it may not be so for economics or maybe some other majors.Following is a comment I received on this answer by Tolga Yilmaz:>>First of all, let me emphasize the fact that any applicant's SOP is THEmost important organ of the overall application.Not so in economics. A friend of mine who has been admitted to Yale Econ PhD was told by one of his professors that they hadn't read his essay until after he was already admitted (they just wanted to see who they had admitted :)). See Page on Ucsb"How important is that statement of purpose in the application.Not so much. It’s important to sound intelligent, but probably no one will read the statement until after a first screening. In economics, the statement of purpose is mostly an opportunity to “do no harm.” (A good way to judge getting-into-graduate-school advice is by the emphasis on the personal statement. Advice emphasizing the importance of the SOP is probably bad advice on other topics too. In other disciplines the SOP is very important. It ain’t in economics.) The SOP should be well-written and straightforward. If there’s a credible reason you’re interested in this particular school, it’s fine to say so. Mentioning relevant research experience is fine. In general, don’t go overboard."

For most people it is hard. My experience at Stanford in the mid-70’s (which matched that of friends in other graduate programs at the time) was that half the people didn’t make it even though they went through a selection process that included self-selection (at the time, pretty much the only thing you could do with the degree was to get an academic job) and scrutiny by several people who were qualified to judge you (the people writing letters on your behalf to their colleagues on the admission committee).About 30% of those admitted couldn’t get through the general education requirements (classes and exams), and of the ones that did, about 30% of those never completed a thesis. I have no idea if they’ve gotten better at screening people in the last 40 years, but I’m sure there is still attrition. (There is also more math to learn, so PhD takes about a year longer now.)NOTE: I asked a friend of mine who works in the math department at Stanford and he said that they have reduced the attrition rate below what it was 40 years ago, but there is still attrition. I’m not sure what’s improved (perhaps better undergraduate preparation?).Every few years someone would get accepted into the program who started on their thesis right away and had no trouble finishing it, and several papers beyond that, and these people graduated as quickly as was feasible (Stanford had a ‘residency requirement’ at the time, so people were required to stay 3 years). But most of us floundered a bit, took 4–6 years total to get done, and occasionally asked ourselves why we ever wanted to do this.What you’re doing while getting a PhD is learning how to figure out something that no one knows the answer to, so that you can do it for a living - it’s basically an apprenticeship. Once you have a PhD and are faced with a new unsolved problem, the idea is that you should know how to learn whatever other people know that is relevant, and then know how to go about solving the problem as well as you can.This isn’t a career most people would enjoy, which is why relatively few even try to get the degree. And many people who think they might like it realize during the process that they wouldn’t enjoy it or just can’t do it.All of the mathematicians I’ve ever worked with say that most of their ideas are no good. So research involves failing over and over again, with an occasional success. Learning how to do this isn’t easy for most people, and that’s why getting a PhD in math is generally quite difficult.
