Do I need to update my LinkedIn profile to create a positive impact for my SOP?

Yes, updating your LinkedIn profile can strengthen your Statement of Purpose (SOP).
A current LinkedIn profile acts as an online resume, showcasing your academic achievements, work experience, and skills. Admissions committees may review your online presence to better understand your background.
Make sure your LinkedIn details match what you present in your SOP. This consistency builds credibility and reinforces your application.
If you need support aligning your LinkedIn profile with your SOP, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
