I have reviewed your SOP @Emmysaints. Goodluck on your application. God bless!

The thoughts for today:

Always remember to be decisive about the program you wish to apply for and make sure it is tied to an experience either of work or volunteering. Do not apply to study for example Nursing when you read Marketing. Please align your SOP to experiences that can be VALIDATED.

..and that is what i'm asking you to do and let people write and choose who will review it for them.

Constantly dropping your email address asking people to email you their SOP for review is soliciting.

The people that have asked for a review, came to the forum seeking to find who can review for them without asking for particular people/persons. If it was the reverse then that would definitely be soliciting. Like I said earlier, I would not banter words at all. I have openly asked to assist, it is your choice to decide to or not instead of trying to brand me in some kind of way.

If that is the case then why did you start this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3100796/statement-purpose-schools-abroad-difficult ?

Are you going to coach people on how to write one or review it for them openly?


People should be very careful who they send their SOP for review.

I do not want to banter words with anyone, it is okay to be skeptical and suspicious, but I am not asking you to send me your account number,or personal details . Coaching are tips and best practices that we can discuss and share, hence reason why I started the thread. This is help I am willing to render. People should be careful about SOPs? I am shocked at this because from your SOP, what can I get that would be of benefit to me please?. Amazing!!!

@ciot

If you are unable to answer questions openly here then don't bother at all.

It is not about not being able to answer questions openly. Except if you want to do a screenshot of your SOP on the forum or a copy and paste then feel free. The reason i say you should send me an email is because, I believe your SOP is private and if you need help with a review, it is something I can help quickly.

It is an assistance I am willing to render, no one is forcing anyone.

The tone of your question implies that you plan to plagiarize somebody else's SOP, a very common trend I have seen among Nigerian applicants. If you plan to go for a graduate degree then you need to be able to write it all by yourself from scratch.

If you don't get used to being able to think critically and write your own original thoughts, then you will be in for a very rude shock if/when you start school Canada.

Most graduate programs are writing & thinking intensive, and an inability to present clear arguments in writing will make it extremely difficult for you to succeed in school or at work. Also, the penalty for plagiarism in Canada is stiff; you get a big fat ZERO on any assignment or test in which you plagiarized. In some cases, you get expelled. Also, your admission application WILL be rejected if they find out AT ANY TIME that you plagiarized your SOP.

Just do a Google search on how to write a graduate school SOP and then follow the guidelines. If you find an SOP online, use it as a sample but DO NOT copy any part of it.

My sister was just telling me this week of two Nigerian students in her Canada MSc program who got failing semester grades because they plagiarized the proposal the professor asked them to write. Another one keeps running around telling people that he'll pay if somebody can write his proposal for him.

Start improving yourself now, before it is too late.


I agree with @thesoj. Many people fail before they even start off anything. When you urgently need an SOP, you end up doing a "copy and paste" from search engine pages like Google. If you need help with how to develop your SOP and how to go about it

Travel / Statement Of Purpose For Schools Abroad. Difficult? Learn And Discuss Here by ciot: 11:08am On May 12, 2016
Hi everyone,

Reasons why students do not get admissions to schools-Most times the reason is the SOP. It is not enough to have good grades or be enthusiastic about the program you apply for, you have to show that enthusiasm to the committee members of the school/program/faculty that make the decisions in written form via your SOP. The SOP is what defines who you are as an individual.

I have had the opportunity to review SOPs for people going to school abroad, and I must say it has been a headache filled job. I have had to re-write most people's SOP and I wonder what the issues and challenges they face are?

1. Most people do not even understand word count. (write 500-750 words), you see them write 1000 words and above, not paying attention to the STRICT guidelines of the school or faculty.

2. More so, given areas and points to concentrate on by the faculty, they digress and end up filling the SOP with unnecessary sentences that will not appeal to the application committee.

3. Most Applicants do not even know how to build the structure of the SOP, most times there are no links of what is written to the programs they apply for.

4. Most importantly, for every program you apply for as a potential applicant, you need to know within yourself the purpose of applying as this will guide you.
