My life as I see it: Episode 4: Statement of Purpose and Recommendation Letters
http://iponderyonder.blogspot.com/2009/06/episode-4-statement-of-purpose-and.html
My life as I see it. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Episode 4: Statement of Purpose and Recommendation Letters. Quick points on SOP. It has to be original and completely yours. You can copy formats of others, but never the contents. It is statement trying to convince the admissions committee why you 'fit-in' to their department. For this, you should know about their department inside out, know the research, the labs, the professors and be able to mention some of these in the SOP. Have at least 4 options for re...

My life as I see it: Valmiki's Ramayana: the inexplicable
http://iponderyonder.blogspot.com/2009/09/valmikis-ramayana-inexplicable.html
My life as I see it. Sunday, September 6, 2009. Valmiki's Ramayana: the inexplicable. After reading the Ramayana everybody asks how Rama could kill Vali hiding from him and how he could renounce his loving wife Sita after taking all the effort to save her. While I am trying to figure out the answer to these questions (I doubt if anyone can convince me that Rama was correct), I realized I had a couple of more questions besides these:. Isn’t that unrighteous too? September 6, 2009 at 2:28 PM. Just before y...

My life as I see it: Episode 3: Selecting the universities you would like to be in
http://iponderyonder.blogspot.com/2009/06/episode-3-selecting-universities-you.html
My life as I see it. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Episode 3: Selecting the universities you would like to be in. This is perhaps the most critical stage of the MS application. Usually, students select 8-10 universities. Take 2-3 ambitious ones (where you believe getting in would be a miracle), 3-4 moderate ones (where you have even chances) and 2-3 safe bets (sure admits). So, I would still suggest trying to mail some of them. Labels: The MS/Phd application saga. September 21, 2009 at 10:48 AM.
