The Do's & Don't Of SOP Writing

Do's

  • You must ensure that the SOP for your study permit application consists of an appealing start and inspiring closure. Always keep in mind that your SOP must be authentic in nature and not a copy of someone else's document. This will undoubtedly make your SOP stand out from the rest of the crowd.
  • When you apply for an undergraduate study program, writing more about your short-term goals and career inclinations will benefit you. On the other hand, you should write more regarding your educational background, relevant research works, and ardent career aspirations when you intend to apply for master's and other higher study programs.
  • The SOP you write must reflect the precise aim of your further study and be appropriately linked to your past, present, and future. Therefore, always ensure a proper connecting link correctly articulates all your academic interests and career goals.
  • You must mention any backlogs or specific reasons/activities during your study gap (if you have any).
  • The visa authorities should be able to understand how well you can contribute your time and efforts related to the scope of study at a particular college or university. Therefore, it is highly advisable to do detailed research about the study program on the official website of your chosen institution. This will help convince the visa authorities that you are qualified to enrol in the particular study program and meet all the eligibility criteria.
  • You can add more value to your SOP by highlighting relevant information regarding the specific courses of your study program, the faculty expertise of the institution, medical insurance benefits, recreational facilities such as libraries, health gyms and scholarship programs for the students.
  • Always ensure that you write your SOP in an active voice and that all the information you provide reflects your positive mindset.

Don'ts

  • Remember not to write more or less than the needed word count for your SOP. (800-1000 words are considered the ideal word count. However, it may vary depending on the university, so make sure how much word count is required and then proceed with writing your SOP)
  • It would be best not to use the same SOP for your other student visa application purposes.
  • Never use any content or copy information that you might find on websites.
  • Never use words like "thinking" or "feeling" while writing your SOP. On the other hand, you must write affirmatively so that the visa authorities will understand that you are clear about the purpose of your study and have a clear vision regarding your future goals. It would be best to convince them that you are not a dreamer but a go-getter.
  • Never miss adding important information, and at the same time, never attempt to provide forged information while writing your SOP.
