Sop Tips Part 3

Well, SOP is broadly divided into the following heads, though not
tangibly, but understoodly in the following way:
1. Expectations with regard to the program and career opportunities
2. Writing ability
3. Major areas of interest
4. Research or work experience
5. Reasons for deciding to pursue graduate education in a particular
field and at a particular institution
6. Maturity
7. Personal uniqueness - what you would add to the diversity of the
entering class


Be as specific as possible about the direction you wish to pursue in your
area of interest and in stating your educational objectives. As you write
your statement, keep this as your main focus. A naive, non-reflective
statement will not give the committee the information it needs about your
ability to analyze problems and to organize your thoughts on complex
subjects in the major field of study.

However, while you are writing, do not lose sight of the expression you must
give to your proposed educational objectives.

When you have finished writing, proofread your statement for grammatical and
typographical errors and misspelled words. Mistakes of this kind can be very
distracting to the content of your statement.

Sops Tips Part 1

Ten Do's and Don'ts for Your Statement of Purpose

The Do's

1) Unite your essay and give it direction with a theme or thesis. The thesis is the main point you want to communicate.

2)Before you begin writing, choose what you want to discuss and the order in which you want to discuss it.

3) Use concrete examples from your life experience to support your thesis and distinguish yourself from other applicants.

4)Write about what interests you, excites you. That's what the admissions staff wants to read.

5) Start your essay with an attention-grabbing lead -- an anecdote, quote, question, or engaging description of a scene.

6)End your essay with a conclusion that refers back to the lead and restates your thesis.

7) Revise your essay at least three times.

8)In addition to your editing, ask someone else to critique your statement of purpose for you.

9)Proofread your personal statement by reading it out loud or reading it into a tape recorder and playing back the tape.

10) Write clearly, succinctly.

The Don'ts
1) Don't include information that doesn't support your thesis.

2) Don't start your essay with "I was born in...," or "My parents came from..."

3) Don't write an autobiography, itinerary, or résumé in prose.

4) Don't try to be a clown (but gentle humor is OK).

5) Don't be afraid to start over if the essay just isn't working or doesn't answer
the essay question.

7) Don't try to impress your reader with your vocabulary.

8) Don't rely exclusively on your computer to check your spelling.

9) Don't provide a collection of generic statements and platitudes.

10)Don't give mealy-mouthed, weak excuses for your GPA or test scores.
Don't make things up.
