Hello, I am anxiously writing my SOP now, and found it rather challenging to compose my narrative as someone who majored in History & Economics in college, but now want to get into top Sociology program. I am primarily interested in migration, race and gender and social capital. Found almost 60% of my current draft is around my undergrad experience. What are some key elements one should focus on when writing on the research interests? If you were me, how would you tell a story about transitioning into sociology? Looking forward to your insights!
