SoP - Using Figures

[mudkip104]

Hi guys,

All of you in the sciences and engineering know that explaining a difficult concept in a limited paragraph is ... difficult.

Do you guys think that adding 1-2 figures (graph of research work) in an essay may be beneficial?

It could, but the one thing you should be aware about is if there is a page limit. Things like graphs and charts could take up valuable real estate in your SoP and you don't want to sacrifice that space if you could use it in a better way.

Did you get your research published? If so, you may want to mention it and then they could seek it out separately.
