Will the SOP be unique to me or similar to what other candidates write?
Your SOP (Statement of Purpose) should be unique to you. While the structure - background, motivation, choice of course/country, and career goals - is generally similar for all applicants, the content must reflect your personal experiences, reasons, and aspirations.
Admissions committees look for authenticity and individuality. Sharing your specific story, motivations, and goals will help your SOP stand out from others that may be more generic or similar.
