Statement of Purpose (SOP)
Universities abroad require you (the student) to submit an application with a statement that articulates your career path and goals. This is called a Statement of Purpose of SOP. The SOP helps the university in evaluating the right candidate for the courses offered by them.
What is an SOP?
A Statement of Purpose (SOP), also known as a Research Statement or a Letter of Intent, is written to the admission panel and states the candidate’s career path, interest, professional contributions, goals and the driving force behind pursuing a particular programme. This is usually submitted in the form of an essay; however, certain universities may also keep it question-based. It is the most integral part of your application that decides your admission into your preferred institution.
Purpose of a SOP
The SOP is the decision-maker of your application. It helps the admission committee assess your take on life, your career goals, beliefs, subject knowledge and vision. In short, a well-written SOP paints your overall personality for universities to examine your overall approach. It is an opportunity to pitch your purpose to the admission committee and the reasons why they should choose you over other applicants.
What is a Letter of Recommendation?
You might have heard a lot about the Letter of Recommendation while applying to various universities. But what is it? Just as the name says, a Letter of Recommendation is a letter that recommends a student, employee, colleague or a co-worker. It is also known as a Letter of Reference or LOR in short. When issued to a student, this letter helps the admission committee to get an in-depth understanding about the applicant and their vision. Needless to say, this is a great tool to showcase the positives and most impactful information about the applicant, from the perspective of the student’s supervisor / mentor / superior / guide / faculty.
