Boon for your Statement of Purpose

To study abroad every student needs to write a Statement of Purpose (SOP). An SOP is like an article written about yourself. It proves why you are the best candidate for a given course or grant, and why this course or grant is the most suitable one for you. Your SOP can work as a boon if written well, or else can be a curse.

While writing an SOP, always remember that the admission officer or the visa officer has gone through dozens of SOP before reading your one. So, your SOP should be written in such a way that stands different in the eye of the person reading it. Always try to show you are original, different and the most interested one.

To make your work a bit easier, we have come up with the format and the questions which you need to keep in mind while writing an SOP. If you are able to answer the below points in the best way you can, your SOP can work as a wish fulfiller.

How to start your sop?

The beginning of the sop plays an important role as it creates an impression about you in the mind of the reader. So, try to write something impressive about yourself which shows you are intelligent, hardworking and interested. You may also begin with some quotes, but keep it short and simple.

Give enough time to write a proper beginning. If your first sentences are dull, irrelevant, eccentric or pompous, or worse still, full of grammatical or spelling mistakes, your reader will quickly form a negative impression which will be hard to dispel.

Points you need to cover:

-Your name and date of birth
-Are you married? If yes:

how long have you been married?
do you live together?
do you have children?
will your spouse/children accompany you to study in Australia?
