What is a Statement of Purpose?

I have been asked to send in a Statement of Purpose as part of my application.
Can you tell me what it is? -
The Statement of Purpose is an essay that-
- Introduces you to the admissions committee
- Gives them a chance to get to know you better
- Convinces the committee that you deserve to be a part of the university’s community

Moreover, the general word limit for an SOP is 1000 words
But you should consider going through the university webpage once

- Your interest in the course and the university
- How you can contribute to the college
- What makes you the perfect candidate (your USP)
