Hey there! I am going to submit my academic SOP for UC Berkeley soon (I'm aiming for a PhD in Mechanical Engineering) and I am willing to swap with anyone who's willing. I want plenty of feedback And I have plenty of feedback to offer as well. Let me know!

Im engineering so our SOPs would be very different, but Id be willing to switch. Can't hurt can it

Anyone want to swap as well? I'm struggling with this one! Thanks

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum. This is a great resource! I had a couple questions: For my SOP, I mention that I didn't develop an early interest for research but that my interest was spurred only last summer during a research program. Is this a risky statement? Finally, even if you do not want to become a professor after attaining a PhD, does it help mentioning this in the SOP? Most of my friends did, even if they did not have this goal in mind. Thanks! PS: I'd love to swap SOP's for anyone interested
