Statement of Purpose – Outline

First, we’ll start with a basic outline of a standard SOP. It looks something like this.

1. Introduction
2. Academic History
3. Work Experience
4. Future Plans and Conclusion

For each section, plan on writing at least one paragraph. Your final SOP should be something like 4-6 paragraphs, roughly 800 words.  In the next few sections, we’ll describe exactly what you should put in each section and give you some ideas about what to write.
