The fundamental guideline of a statement of purpose is to understand what to include in
one and how to create one. The statement of purpose, like every human, is distinctive in many ways. Needless to say, your experiences would be distinct and different, as would your views and ideas, as well as your aspirations. When it comes to writing them down, however, there are a few rules that everyone must stick to. We'll look at them in these 5 essential steps for writing a great SOP. Step 1: Make a list of your major accomplishments in school What you have to give at the UG level is not three years of work experience or four to five years of college experience. Instead, you have approximately 12 years of growth. Because your journey has been longer, you have so much more to include. Consider the last 12 years, imagining the smallest delights and the greatest teachers, the difficulties and the joyful successes. It may be your victory at the State Volleyball Tournament or your first victory in an intra-class debate competition in fifth grade. Whatever it is, you have a 12-year track record to build on. So consider all of the situations, and if you can recall them, there is a strong reason to include them in your list. Step 2: Don't hunt for a topic; instead, reflect on your life's path thus far In contrast to the five fundamentals of writing a SOP, this is the only step that is absolutely invalid. At this point, we recommend that you refrain from thinking about anything other than your life's tale. This is, in fact, the platform where you will be able to discuss all you have done and how you got to this decision. You're still researching, deciphering, and eager to learn. You must include everything, therefore don't start looking for examples of leadership or any one characteristic. You are still moldable; be flexible in your SOP and avoid picking a specific instance. Step 3: Make your first draft At the UG level, we bring this step forward and ask you to begin by writing it down. This is critical even before you begin trimming your lists. We recommend that you start writing a copy as soon as possible, even before you have a chance to consider what you want to add. Step 4: Discuss your lists and the first draft Talking with friends, family, and, if you have a good relationship with your professors, is a terrific approach to start narrowing your choices. Find out what they think of your writing, which incident they would prefer you to leave out, and what else they believe you should discuss. Request assistance in having your ideas evaluated and questioned. Remember that they will be able to look at your accomplishments from afar and find something more entertaining than others.
