Hey everybody. I've been watching this community since fall of last year. It was very helpful reading everyone's experiences last year and it has definitely helped me this year while I apply. I also know this is the time when the community gets flooded with SOP's. Anyway, I thought I would add mine for anyone helpful enough to take a quick look.

wow, finally someone in a field I know of. Essentially all of my undergraduate class is applying to the same kind of program as you are, so I hope I can be helpful

Thank you so much for your help. I understand what you mean when you say "finally someone in a field I know of." I feel so ill equipped to respond to anything regarding history or english which seem like the majority of the SOP's that are posted.

Sorry for the offtopic comment

But I posted my SOP for a molecular biology summer research program a few days ago... and it's mostly been ignored...
Could you please possible check it out?

Punnett is mispelled. And it's a name so it needs to capitalized. Punnet is a type of basket.

Thanks. Having an error like that in the first sentence wouldn't have looked good.
