When you decide to study abroad meeting the eligibility criteria are only part of the picture. What truly helps universities understand ‘you’ are two key documents: the Statement of Purpose (SOP) and the Letter of Recommendation (LOR).

Most students know that these documents are important, but very few clearly understand What is SOP? and What is LOR? How they differ, why both are required and how universities evaluate students based on these documents are other essential aspects to consider. As a result, SOPs often sound generic, LORs lack impact and strong student profiles fail to stand out.
