4 Steps to Strengthen Statement of Purpose

Raghuram Sukumar —  December 29, 2009 — 8 Comments

Universities look at Statement of Purpose along with all other credentials you have submitted. Almost every SOP looks and feels the same. Some of you might even copy an existing sample SOP used by a different student.

It’s ok to copy the SOP, but don’t use the SOP “as-is”.  Use the following 4 simple mantras listed below to stand out from the crowd

  1. Differentiate Yourself
  2. Making an Impression
  3. Market your potential
  4. Market your true You!

Take a look at some of the Sample Statement of Purpose and understand the structure and see how you can add your personal taste and flavor to it.
