  Your SOP is what makes or breaks your college application and as far as I know, SOP's are compulsory for college applications as they represent your ideas and will for applying for the college. But if you don't want to write your SOP you can ask your respective university if they offer an alternative option like a university interview. But mostly, one way or another, most universities ask you to write an SOP or an Essay. I personally, would recommend that you should write an SOP. Doing so will help you build your application profile and will increase your chances of getting accepted in the university of your choice. But still, if you feel like you don't want to write an SOP, make an inquiry with the university you want to apply to.

  Hey there, One small typo won't cause you too much of a problem especially, if most of your SOP is well-written. Most people ignore the typo and assume that it's a genuine mistake. But if there are more than one or two mistakes in your Statement of Purpose, then it shows your carelessness. So make sure you get your SOP proofread either by online tools and that you don't make the same mistakes again. Here are some tips to follow while writing SOP for future universities: The most common tip would be not to over think and let it go. If the typo is some official date or title then that could affect your application and make a bad impression. While universities don't usually allow re submissions, you could try writing an official email to the university and request to rectify your mistake. The last tip would be to check if your university offers re submissions Hope this helped you out.

  Hi Robert, Avoid talking about your grades at all. Instead, talk about the subjects you scored well in, and the projects and papers you worked on, in relation to the program you're applying for. However, if a school asks you for justification, you can say it was because of a major sickness or a family emergency.

  Hi Lana, Some universities ask you to do this. They mention it in the application requirements. If they've stated it as a requirement, you should put your name on the header of your SOP.

  Hi Lana, you can look at this answer to see what the difference is between an SOP and a Personal Statement. In a Personal Statement, you have to relate your life decisions with your personal experiences.
