Thank you sir because the last video you made on SOP seemed like a research SOP. My question is on those going for a post graduate taught programme, how do their Personal statement look like?

Good afternoon sir, I'm new here. Hoping to get all the answers I need through your YouTube and Twitter account. Sir, is publishing a paper necessary? Does it increase the chances of getting scholarship? Should the publication be through an international journal?
