Introspection
A good essay requires a lot of introspection and brainstorming. You need a captivating story which can’t be accomplished in a day or two. Discuss your ideas with your mentors, colleagues, or counsellors as they can help your thought process in the right direction. Start working on your first draft several months in advance and keep enhancing it until you are satisfied with the final version.

Admission Officers have an enormous number of documents to read in a limited amount of time. It is essential that your SOP be crisp, concise, and well-organized.
The Power of a Story
Start your essay with a fascinating narrative that will transport the reader to the setting of your life and create a sense of wonder and anticipation. The admission officers are interested in knowing you as an individual. They want to hear about the hard work, the efforts, and even the hardships you have experienced in your life to reach where you are. Through a compelling story, you can not only bring your accomplishments to life but also leave a lasting impression on the admission officer.
Avoid using flowery language or complex technical terms so that even a non-expert can understand it.

Passion and Persuasion
Don’t try to guess what the admission committee wants to hear. Instead, be honest and write from your heart. It is perfectly fine if you took a gap year owing to bad health or scored a low GPA due to familial issues. Talk about it with conviction. Bring out what has changed from that time.
