STOP THINKING LIKE AN UNDERGRADUATE
The Master's SOP Formula
An A-Z blueprint for writing a brilliant statement of purpose that fills you with confidence, floods your inbox with admission offers, and launches your career as a graduate student.
I NEED THIS! LETâS DO IT âFINALLY, ANSWER THE QUESTIONâŚ
âWhat do universities want me to write?â
You've spent hours staring at a blinking cursor, trying to summon the perfect words that will land your application in your dream schoolâs "YES" pile.
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR�
- That all-important application deadline is looming, but youâre not sure where to start, so you keep putting it off.
- Youâve read EVERY article Google offers about how to write a statement of purpose, but nothing really made intuitive sense, and now you're questioning yourself.
- You still have no idea what it is universities REALLY want to see in the students they admit.
- You drafted your SOP, then went online to compare it to âessays that worked!â â and now youâre realizing your essay will most certainly NOT work.
âŚdonât worry â youâre in the right place.
Thereâs just one thing standing between you and an inbox full of acceptance letters.
Yes, the Statement of Purpose.
Thereâs a ton of pressure riding on this essay. But that doesnât mean you need to stay on the typical applicantâs agonizing path:
ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
â
PROCRASTINATION
â
IMPOSTER SYNDROME
 The more time ticks away toward your deadline, the less you feel like a qualified student, and the more you start to question whether or not youâre even cut out for grad school.
UnlessâŚ
You had an SOP strategy thatâs easy-to-follow, that immediately makes you feel proud and accomplished, and that hundreds of other students have used to earn multiple master's admissions.
On average, you're competing with 50 other potential grad students for every one available spot.

So, how can you make sure you're the one?

PLUS, snag these bonuses to help guarantee your SOP is the best it can be...
BONUS 1
60 Days of Private SOP Support
($500 VALUE)
We get itâeven with the best course in the world, sometimes you just want your questions answered.
That's why you get 60 days of Q&A support starting from your enrollment date.
During this time, you'll be able to ask any question you have related to The Master's SOP Formula and get it answered directly by Jordan.
(If you've looked at admissions consultants before, you already know that a good SOP expert will charge thousands of dollarsâway more than the price of this courseâfor far less support than this. We can only offer this to you as a bonus because Jordan limits 1-on-1 clients so he can devote more time to you.
BONUS 2
The WriteIvy Sample SOP Library
($200 VALUE)
See exactly how and what students wrote to earn admission to schools like Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, and more.
You'll get access to 22Â Sample Essays fully diagrammed and annotated to show you, step-by-step, how they implemented the SOP Formula and exactly how you can use the same design. The sample library includes essays from all kinds of academic fields, and all of which earned admission to multiple (competitive!) schools. One got 13 admissions!
BONUS 3
Expanded Guide: Personal Essays and Diversity Statements
($100 VALUE)
When schools ask you to write more essays on top of the SOPâŚit can feel a little tedious, canât it?
Thatâs why Jordan revised his guide to personal essays so you can feel clear-sighted and confident about about turning your lifeâs story into a mature argument for why youâll be a great addition to any graduate community.
This includes detailed descriptions of the 3 topics all great personal essays illustrate in some form or another (Diversity, Adversity, or the Broad Social Impact of your Career). Plus, as a Bonus Bonus, Jordan has diagrammed superlative sample essays from a pair of studentsâfrom completely different lives and experiencesâadmitted to the #1 program in their fields.
BONUS 4
Meeting Word Limits: SOP Formula Complete Walkthrough
($100 VALUE)
Sometimes, the hardest part of writing an essay isnât the first draft, but carving it down for brutal word-limit requirements. Believe me, we get it!
So, in this walkthrough, you can follow along as Jordan works through every exercise in The Masterâs SOP Formula. First, he produces a fictional SOP of 970 words.
Then, he shows you how to edit it down to a tidy 770.
THENâŚhe carves it down to a crazy 462 words.
No matter how short or long your SOP needs to be, weâll help you get there.
Plus, after finishing the course, you'll have access to add-on SOP Review and Editing services â directly with Jordan â for as low as $150.
Honestly, you probably wonât need extra help.
When I used to do 1-on-1 editing for students who had NOT taken the course, it required 4-6 heavy revisions and approximately 6-10 hours of editing before they generated an SOP I considered A+. This took, at minimum, 2 weeks, and often 4 weeks or more.
However, for students who HAVE TAKEN the course, there are three outcomes:
- 70-80% do not need any further helpâthey already have an A+ essay
- 10-20% only require a single "review" (not full editing)
- A few students still want actual line editing (usually international students with language obstacles), but they now only require one revision to get an A+ SOP
Thus, the course is like a warp speed jump to a high-quality essay, and my personal goal was to make it so good, no one feels like they need further help to succeed in academia.
To show you what I mean, here's feedback from some past students:
What Our Brilliant Alumni Have to Say...
"It helped me tremendously... it was just the right amount of support."
Hey Jordan, just writing in to update on the status of my applications! They went amazingly well! I'm an international reapplicant this year and I applied to 12 schools and received interviews at 9 of them. I wouldn't be surprised if that number could have been 11 schools because my interviewers mentioned they really enjoyed reading my SOP. I received acceptances from Emory, MIT, and Cornell this cycle and turned down remaining interviews.
I just want to thank you for your amazing course and the amount of effort you put into it because it helped me tremendously. The course had sufficient depth to help organize my thoughts and improve my writing skills. I found myself incorporating your tips beyond my SOP to apply to scientific writing in general, e.g. applying for conferences and helping my professor out with grants! I received encouraging feedback from postdocs reading my SOP and one of them assumed I paid for an editing service, which was really flattering, haha.
Ultimately, it was up to me to evaluate my own writing/thinking and your lessons were an extra push in the right direction. I think it was just the right amount of support provided, and having to think through the process on my own with your guidance facilitated my learning of fundamental writing techniques/habits and helped me regain confidence in my rusty writing skills. Thank you!

"I must admit, the final product is next-level â well beyond what I thought I was capable of producing. This is my writing but I never thought my SOP could be this good. It was an extension of my identity, and quite a self-actualizing experience."
- Carly, Biomaterials Engineering
"I have never felt so proud, confident, and excited in my entire life. Your insight and expertise gave me a sense of ease and confidence which allowed me to submit applications to schools I never expected to accept me!"
- Amanda, Nursing
"Overall, I got accepted to 6 schools with 2 waitlists and ZERO rejections! Given my GPA of 3.29/4.0, and lack of academic publications or strong credentials, I think it's pretty safe to say that my essays were OBJECTIVELY stellar."
- Lee, Electrical Engineering
"Once again, thank you so much for your help. When I sat down to write my SOP, I felt totally lost, but reading through your tips helped me narrow down my focus into a really specific area of interest, which I think majorly helped my application."

"This course astounded me.
The lessons aren’t just instructions for writing an SOP, but totally made me rethink the whole application process. Let me just say this: I don’t think there is ANYONE who shouldn’t read these lessons before they apply to grad school, regardless of the programs they apply to."
