HOW TO WRITE A STRONG SOP.
Use Google to find samples to read, but don't copy another student SOP content. You are to create your own, which is why it is called Personal Statement.
1, The First paragraph should have a powerful opening. As a writer myself, the first impression matters when you're writing. If you open the SOP with shallow words, phrase or idea, you may disinterest the person assessing it from the beginning. Your first paragraph should wield strong words about your view concerning the program you want to study. There are many ways to do this. Some students start with talking about what they think about the field in general, some start with their childhood dreams and link it with why they want this degree. Personally, I recommend starting with a personal philosophy then link it to why an advanced degree is important to the next phase of your career and what you'd like to do with this career. So, make sure your first paragraph is strong, well written and concise.
2. Talk about your current academic and work background and their relationship with what you want to study or why it is essential for progress in the field. I have seen SOPs that even mentioned few courses taken during undergraduate in order to show to the admission committee reviewing the application that they have a foundation for success in the program they want to be admitted for.
3. Is your program a research program? If yes, what do you want to research on and why?
4. Why this school? What do they offer that makes it stand out from more than 3000 other universities offering the same course or even better course, in the US? Really, why this school? If you are one of the people who pick up schools from people's approved visa transcript here, then you must do a proper homework by visiting the school website, the program department website, course structure, option for concentrations, etc. If you do this, you'd certainly find more than 3 reasons you want to study at this school you're writing this SOP for. Make sure you mention the school name in this paragraph. It is always better!
5. You are from a developing country, with diverse and rich cultural background, experiences that are unique to you. What are you bring to the school table? Why should they offer you admission? Why should they offer you assistantship (in case you'd be applying and you want to mention it)? Make strong points on these, then include it.
NOTE: There is no one fits all SOP. There is also no single way to write SOP. We all tell our stories differently! In fact, it must be unique and express your intentions for the next phase of your career, your academic goals, and so on. The word limit would also determine the contents you pour in. If you are applying to Tier 1, 2, 3 schools or Ivy League, make sure you put your best in the SOP. For top schools, your SOP is more important than the GPA benchmark they are using for admission. You will have competitors with the same GPA, but you can have a competitive edge over them and wow with your SOP that you are the real deal (in case you are applying to highly competitive schools).
Use strong vocabulary; show the school you are a unique student with value. If you have not been writing, you will need to take out time to achieve this.
A, create the first draft.
B, let it sit for some hours, then go back to adjust it.
C, remove the cluster and begin to rewrite.
D, let it sit again for a day or so.
E, pick it up and finish what you started for good.
(Share the SOP with knowledgeable friends. If you follow these instructions, you should get in, provided your GPA meets the requirement and you submit your application early).
FYI: this is for all applicants aiming at writing a strong SOP for fall 2021 and beyond. With this, I hope nobody will ask how they can write their SOP. Now you know how to. 
All the best. Massive. Thanks 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I’d have to wait for my admission into Pharmacy school to file for reinstatement with USCIS... which i did. I was also instructed to still follow F1 visa rules which meant enrolling in my pharmacy classes by fall as I waited to hear back on my reinstatement... which I did.

The CGI guy said there is no space in Lagos, so despite the emergency was approved. So I will strongly advise against choosing Lagos for emergency appointment, at least for now. Abuja seems cool. |

Student Office reached out was to inform me on a Friday that my I-20 would be terminated the following Monday. I went straight to her office said Monday and she said there was nothing she could do about it. I’d have to wait for my admission into Pharmacy school to file for reinstatement with USCIS... which i did.
I was also instructed to still follow F1 visa rules which meant enrolling in my pharmacy classes by fall as I waited to hear back on my reinstatement... which I did.
My reinstatement got approved and I got a new i-20.
Pls help So sorry to hear this, I hope you get your visa approved the next time. Few questions... the i20 you currently have is for which semester ? And also is your program currently running or yet to start? |
