Wooow... I feel so small now, haha but I'm not gonna self-sabotage.... I'll take this as inspo. Your statement is ON POINT. CONGRATS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@LaurenValdez 4 года назад

Come to my free office hours or check out my video on imposters syndrome. I think I'm pretty regular, but my loved ones helped my hype up this statement to make me sound more impressive than I feel. Don't self-sabotage, go after your goals!

@toluwanimiajike960 4 года назад

Wow. This was great. Also, loved how you set the tone with that intro. I learnt a thing or two.

@LaurenValdez 4 года назад

You are welcome. Thanks for the encouragement. It gives me motivation to create more videos!

@LaurenValdez 4 года назад

Also check out this video which goes into more detail on the statement and how to apply it to your own essays. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TfOFFL_OQM.html

Hello Lauren, I'm in the process of writing my SOP too, thank you for this, it surely helps folks like us a lot, I must day you're such a good story teller ! will it be possible for you to review my SOP ??

@PrajuUpadhyaya Месяц назад

Hi, can you tell me that is it necessary to have an architectural portfolio to apply for masters in Urban Planning?

@giladwasheretravel3553 3 года назад

Wow that is an amazing statement and an amazing. You would have gotten in 10 out of 10 times with that

@itsreallythanh 4 года назад

Ah, man. I was in the middle of the MIT DUSP MCP application and just found out they're suspending acceptances for Fall '21 :-(

@LaurenValdez 4 года назад

Oh no! I have friends who did their MCP's all over and in the long run, the school doesn't matter so much. If you are committed to doing an MCP now consider moving forward with other schools. If after finding out about acceptances, you still feel like nothing is right, you can apply again next year.

Informative! So, you are into city planning. I'm an undergraduate of Urban and Regional Planning too. I should be done with UG studies by 2021. I'm from Nigeria by the way. And I hope to land a Graduate scholarship or assistantship in the US. Hope you'd mentor me ☺️

500 words essay please

@ukhengchingmarma5320 4 года назад

What is the appropriate length for SOP(two pages)?

@LaurenValdez 4 года назад

There should be instructions, but generally 2 pages is pretty standard. Sometimes you have a word count which can be as short as 500 words or as long as 1500 words

@bhargavpatel4781 4 года назад

Ma’m can you help me in my sop too , I am very bad at writing this kind of stuff

@LaurenValdez 3 года назад

I have a few videos where I go through SOPs from people in my office hours, so be sure to check those out. I do office hours where I go over this more with individuals. I will be coming back from family leave soon, so be sure to subscribe and if you are on my email list you will be the first to know about new resources. I have a variety of office hour options, and the price varies. Free sessions are held but I cannot guarantee I'll get to your documents. landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i0p4x3

What strategies can I use to recover from a low g.p.a?

@LaurenValdez 3 года назад

GPA is looked at but often not a deal breaker! It will be a few weeks before I have this video ready, but I sent out a newsletter covering this topic in detail here. preview.mailerlite.com/b9g3e2 Make sure to subscribe and if you are on my email list you will be the first to know about new resources. landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i0p4x3
