Statement of Purpose (The most important aspect of your application)

A Statement of Purpose (SOP), also known as a research statement or a letter of intent, is written to the admission panel and talks about your career path, interest, professional contributions, goals and the driving force behind pursuing a particular program. This is usually submitted in the form an essay, however, ceratin universities may also keep it question-based. it is the most integral part of your application that decides your admission in your preferred institution. 

Purpose of SOP

The SOP is the decision-maker of your application. It helps the admission committee assess your take on life, your career goals, beliefs, subject knowledge, and your vision. In short, well-written SOP paints your overall personality for the universities. It is an opportunity to pitch your purpose to the committee and reasons why they should choose you over other applicants. A good SOP works great for weak academic profiles wherein you can compensate by highlighting your future goals and ambitions. a well-written SOP also reflects how well you can express your thoughts using your writing skills. 

Components of a good SOP

Several elements are crucial to your SOP. These include:

• Personal background
• Financial background
• Academic details
• Professional experience (full/part-time, voluntary)
• Immediate and long term goals 
• Reasons why you wish to study at a particular institution
