Do you intend to study overseas? Have you made a list of the colleges to which you want to apply for admission? The time has come to move on to the next significant step: creating your SOP, or Statement of Purpose. The SOP is a significant piece of record going with your application that can impact the choice of the affirmation commission. The SOP is defined as a "personal statement about an individual, what influences him/her, professional interests, and plan for the future as typically described as part of a college applicant's admissions application," according to the Business Dictionary.
