A lot of people here want their LOM/SOP reviewed, which is astonishing considering the
fact that they want to pursue a higher education and wouldn't know how to justify their
decision. Here are some suggestions that I think might help.

1. Keep it simple. Don't over complicate statements.

2. Narrow your area of Interest/Research down and back it up with facts/figures.

3. Comparison of what is available in Pakistan & Germany within your respective fields.
Talk about what is and could be after you graduate.

4. How could you benefit from acquiring a degree in your area of interest? How could
Pakistan benefit from it? How could it benefit your fellow countrymen as an individual?

5. How would your degree/research be making a significant/minor contribution to your

area of expertise?

The key question always remains 'WHY' - WHY do you wanna pursue the degree you
want to and what for? Remember justify all your statements with facts - not songs about
how great Germany is how much Pakistan sucks.

Good luck.
