Overwhelming? I will highlight the unmissables

1. The famous blog by @Tim_Dettmers which I followed with diligence during my own applications. It is very honest into what things actually are http://timdettmers.com/2018/11/26/phd-applications/
2. @vj_chidambaram has been writing about these things for a long while, first in quora and recently on twitter. This thread covers an SOP is. It is not your life story, but your research story. https://twitter.com/vj_chidambaram/status/933388419589459969
3. A great perspective and what they might be looking for from @dave_andersen
