What Is an SOP?

A Statement of Purpose (SOP) is a 600-1000 word essay explaining who you are, why you want to study a specific program, and why you have chosen that university.

What Universities Look For

• Academic motivation: Why this field? Why now?
• Career clarity: Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
• University fit: Why this specific university?

Common Mistakes

• Copy-pasting from templates online
• Being too generic
• Not tailoring for each university
