Admissions Is My Statement of Purpose Strong Enough for the PSI Program?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around an individual seeking feedback on their statement of purpose for the PSI program at the Perimeter Institute, expressing concern about the strength of their application due to English language proficiency. The initial request for feedback includes a link to their statement, but the links provided lead to a 404 error, indicating the documents are no longer accessible. Participants in the conversation note the inaccessibility of the links and suggest posting the statement as a PDF on an external host instead. A mentor contributes by sharing a PDF copy of a guide on writing a statement of purpose, which could assist in improving the applicant's letter. The focus remains on enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of the statement to strengthen the application.

I am writing my application to the PSI program of Perimeter Institute. As I am not a native English speaker, I am not sure whether my statement of purpose is strong enough. In the application form, there is a list of topics that I can comment on in my letter, and I tried to write something about each of them. Could you give me feedback about my letter, how can I improve it?

That's weird. I was able to see them a couple days ago, but they do appear to be taken down now...

@Robin04 -- Did you remove your pages?
 
Thank you Mentor for adding the .pdf file.
 

Thread 'How do physicists practically switch fields to non-adjacent subfields?'

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
