Question

I am planning to apply for Masters in the US, I want to know how important would a Statement of Purpose be in the admission process. How should an SOP be framed. Also, What all should be included in an SOP to make it a better prospect for admissions in the US.

Hi,
Font: 12 font size, Arial/Calibri/Times new roman, margin border 2 cm all sides and justified alignment. Do not start with a childhood story or a quote. Truthfully, nobody cares. Instead, start with a recent event that ended with you deciding to pursue a master's degree. Do not write the intro paragraph more than 3-4 lines. Do not repeat the things that are already present in the resume. Try to focus your profile on a single field. Do not give your whole life story. Instead, focus on 1 or 2 major technical achievements that match the program objectives and the department's research. I would recommend not to exceed the word limit of more than 600 to 800 even if the word limit is 1000 or 1200. Most admission committees won't have much time to read a long SOP. Do not use generalized words. Be as specific as you can.

Good luck !!
