Now Lauren Niu, Steven B. Torrisi and @AlxndriaTH3Gr8 will talk about writing a statement of purpose! #wocp #thewocproject2020 #graduateschool #womeninstem
What is a statement of purpose (SOP)?? The SOP for graduate school is a more specialized and focused document, it is NOT like the college essay! It is a statement of:
-Research experience
-research interests
-how you fit into the program

-Research experience
-research interests
-how you fit into the program
#research #gradschool #sop #womeninstem
Big thing to keep in mind is who your audience is and you have an advantage bc you know who they are, they are profs, researchers at universities!
