Statement
of Purpose abbreviated as SOP, itself describes its importance in the
selection procedure during admissions. SOP as the name implies has to describe
your purpose of selecting this college/university, your background details and
most important your ambitions. SOPs or college admission essays are a way to
describe yourself or explain your views and opinions to the admission committee
sitting miles away from you.
These
SOPs increases your chances of getting selected even if your admission test
score (i.e., SAT/GMAT/GRE) is only average. It builds up your personality in
front of the people who do not know you in person. If the SOPs describe you
exactly the way you are, they increase your chances of admission.
We
at SAO will help you understand the importance of SOPs and will also guide and
help you in writing SOPs.

If
your topic is “tell me about yourself”, don’t forget to mention your important
educational and professional experience, but remember not all experiences are
worth enough to be mentioned on your essay. Only mention about those topics
which built up a positive impression about you, which tells about your good
conduct, your active participation in sports and extra- curricular activities.
If you
are given a free topic, try to choose one that is relevant with the program in
which you want to enroll. If some general topic is given try to take some topic
based on social issues and social welfare. You can take some topics of general
awareness or environmental issues. Check your spelling and make sure that you
use proper grammar. Use the Microsoft Word spell check and grammar check
programs.
