C How to shorten your essay to 500 words

[@mushfequssaleheen6498]

Grateful to you, indeed

[@istame3498]

Thank you for making this! I will be applying to this exact program and it so helpful for me to see an example of a strong admission essay. I also don’t have a background in architecture for my undergraduate and this helps my understand how I can still use my non experience and relate it in a way that can still showcase my perspective and appreciation for it.

[@audreyanugerah36]

Thank you so much for deconstructing this essay. Though I am not going into architecture, this has made me think deeply about my SOP.

[@LaurenValdez]

You are welcome! There are a lot more SOPs I deconstruct on my channel. My mission is to help others learn how to write their SOPs.

[@georgiflores9949]

Lauren i just wanted to say thank you sooo much for creating these SoP videos. I watched all of them and followed all your tips and I am happy to say I got admitted to my dream graduate program in Switzerland! Thank you again!

[@LaurenValdez]

Awesome thanks for sharing! That's why I make these videos. What kind of program did you get into?

[@georgiflores9949]

Hi Lauren, do you think it is a good idea to bring up the pandemic and how I found ways to further develop my skills this year in the field I am applying for in my SOP? I've had some mixed opinions about it! Please share what you think.

[@LaurenValdez]

If it's relevant to making a strong case for you to succeed in the program. If it's just filler info that isn't strong, leave it out.

[@michaelasante5002]

Please do you have one for urban planning. I don't know where to start from

[@LaurenValdez]

You can find an urban planning essay here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5vLhJWmZ6-KppY

Hi Lauren, besides the dates posted on your events page currently, when will be the next available sessions for office hours? I was not able to get a spot for any posted dates

[@LaurenValdez]

I added more dates for the remainder of the year here laurenvaldez.com/events

[@alexvaquero9660]

Thank for the video! I’m currently in the BArch program at Alfred state, after I graduate I’m planning to apply to Cornell’s MArch program

[@LaurenValdez]

Good luck!!

[@michelleroom]

Hi Lauren that's a great explanation. I get more idea for my SOP. But if I'm not a background for architecture, what should I put on my portofolio?

[@LaurenValdez]

Talk to the admissions staff. They will give you details on what to include in a portfolio. When you don't have architecture experience, generally you will include various kinds of design/artwork. That can be graphic design, drawings, etc.

[@michelleroom]

Woa thank you for replying my question. It helps me a lot.😊

[@fauziatasnim8109]

How can i contact you Ma'am ? I am working on my SOP and i need your guidance.
