Points to Keep in Mind
- Answer the question the university asks, if there is one, and do not deviate from its requirements
- For Canada, explain clearly why you wish to pursue the programme there
- For the UK, mention why you want to study in the UK and research the university and its faculty
My Advice
Treat these ranges as a guide, since limits vary by university. Check each programme's guidelines before you start writing and write the SOP carefully, because a well-written one can strengthen your application.
