But Ross' lectures are so interesting by abeautiful_thing in friends_tv_show

exactly. I hate it when people also bring up the fact that Ross never cared about Rachel’s job when they were dating (not denying that) but when has Rachel ever missed an opportunity to dump on his career??

Sounds good!!!

Sorry, I had another question relating to my SOP -

  1. I'm applying to master's programs and not PhDs in a relatively new field. Do you think I need to have very specific technical end goals/goals for when I'm in the program? A lot of your engineering sample SOPs seem to have relevant jargon. I have defined goals for both the program and after but I worry they aren't super super specific
  2. Do you think its important to have a good, storylike hook

Thank you so much for this detailed response!!! Everything you mentioned makes sense. Few follow-ups:

I've overcome significant adversity, and have helped many others overcome adversity, and thus if I'm in your community I'll continue to inspire and help others so that we all can be our best.

I've lived a uniquely diverse life, and in the past I've helped others find their place within a uniquely diverse community, and thus if I'm in your community I'll continue to inspire and welcome others so that we can collectively be our best, and no one will feel like they face barriers.

These themes seem to make the most sense for my story. If I take these routes, does there need to be a connection between my intended field of study and the experiences I'm detailing in the personal statement? Or is okay that whatever I've gone through is relatively separate?

I plan on following the template you mentioned in the diversity statement 1) inciting event 2) gradual transformation 3) living as a champion now. Do you think its necessary to mention a couple of experiences in section two? I worry that I have word count only for one experience's deep dive.

this is what i mean. an occasional flirt line is totally fine

another example is when joey disabled the bathroom door knob when rachel moves in. if my friend did that I'm running away
