The PhD SOP Formula: Preview
Don't write like a research assistant. Start with Module 1—free—and learn the exact framework that's gotten dozens of students into PhD programs at MIT, Stanford, Harvard, and more.
What Module 1 covers:
- Why most PhD SOPs fail, and the psychological shift that completely fixes them
- The "Sentence of Purpose": how to distill your entire research story into one precise, powerful statement
- How to isolate your core research questions so you can genuinely "fit" with PIs and faculty, not just list names
This is completely free. No credit card required.
When you click the button, you'll get immediate access to Module 1 of the PhD SOP Formula—the same first step every successful student in this course takes before writing a single word of their SOP.
Module 1 will show you exactly how the Formula works and what it asks of you. If it clicks for you, the full course is there when you're ready.
What Our Alumni Say
"Jordan doesn't just tell you WHAT to write — he explains WHY it matters. He demystifies the graduate admissions process and clarifies what programs are truly looking for. There was one specific insight that completely changed my perspective: the idea that PIs are looking for future investigators, NOT research assistants. I stopped obsessing over whether my profile was perfect and started focusing on articulating a compelling research vision. I was accepted into Georgia Tech's PhD program in Human-Centered Computing with a fellowship."
— MK, PhD Human-Centered Computing, Georgia Tech
"After two failed attempts at getting into a Clinical Psychology PhD program, I realized the problem wasn't my qualifications — it was my Statement of Purpose. I rewrote my SOP from the ground up, focusing on fit with each program instead of just listing my achievements. This time, I didn't just get accepted — I got into a fully funded program. Without WriteIvy, I’d probably be making a career out of applying to PhD programs instead of actually getting into one."
— Breanna, PhD Clinical Psychology
