Sample Sop For Exchange Program
I'm applying for an exchange program, could you please check this sop? It would be truly helpful if you give some advice on no matter grammar or structure.With great enthusiasm and interest, I'm writing in applying for the position of Global Study Program in this fall quarter. I firmly believe that the attractive opportunity offered by. can truly help me both in enhancing my academic study and expanding my horizon.I made up my mind to go abroad for further study when I was a junior middle school student.
For many years, this thought was never shaken. At present, as a sophomore in. University, I think it's suitable time for me to experience this diverse world, and this program is so attractive in many aspects, thus, I'd like to exchange to. in achieving my goal.
The reasons are as follows.Initially,. provides a comfortable circumstance for studying. Located in the holy land of higher education-California,. is an outstanding member among a large amount of world-renowned institutions.
Although China is a country with remarkable history, I have to admit that she is still a tyro in business administration, the major I study, and a lot of classic theories and methods are introduced from the western. I believe that this program can offer a golden opportunity for me to understand these principles more deeply, and comprehend American commercial logic. Besides, thanks to the multiple curriculums, I can get access to some other fields I'm interested in, such as music theory, which are not available in my universitySecondly, it's a unique chance for me to improve English skills.
Confronting with unstoppable globalization, using at least two languages fluently has been a basic requirement for the young, not only in academic fields. Nevertheless, due to the one-sided pattern of English teaching in China, although Chinese students are good at reading, most of us lack of listening and speaking capabilities. But it's no use criticizing, moving on is the only solution. In this program, I'll communicate with the native in real condition, writing papers in English format, focus on lectures in many accents. These practice can really boost my English ability, and build a strong foundation for future.In addition, I can experience another glorious culture in person. For long periods, China see America as a mixture of enemy and friend, however, politic is only politic, as for me, nothing could be more exciting than feeling this miraculous mixture on my own, as an Chinese strategist Sun Tzu said, 'Know the enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat'.
California is a great representative of American culture, no matter the cities, the urban and the natural landscapes. All of them are calling me to see them, to touch them, and to feel them by heart. I can't wait to take a photo with my new foreign friends in front of Golden Gate Bridge. I may be tormented by cultural shock, but newness is always better than everydayness.Last but not least, I think this program can help me in making my career plan. I'm at the best age of my life, and there are so many unknown roads to take.
A significant question I'm going to figure out is what I'm supposed to do in future. Everything seems charming, but everything seems dangerous. Maybe this exchange experience would show me a possible answer, or maybe not, but I need this three different months from my daily life to refresh my mind.I'll be really honored if I was enrolled in this program. Thanks for your time and consideration. At present, as a sophomore in.

Conveys the message with impact. I just checked out the CS SOP, IMHO its a guide to how not to write an SOP!SOP is meant to be nothing but the statement of purpose, the purpose of why you are interested in the program offered by the university!Ideally, the SOPs should be as short as possible (some winning SOPs for law schools are as short as three paragraphs, three lines each paragraph)I’d rather not say how to write an SOP, but here are my how to “not” write an SOP hitlist:– DONT keep a goal of 2/3 pages of SOP. This often leads to junk getting filled into a an awesome SOP (I did this, and I regret doing it after seeing some real good short and sweet SOPs)– DONT try to be melodramatic in any way. No emotional statements/atyaachaar. Most students from India (like me) have a habit of painting a rosy picture, but, think of SOP as a sketch or a wireframe (but not a photograph) that tells the reviewer what your intent is. It should not tell anything other than that (I did it, by almost writing a melodramatic story of a kid from a village aiming high in the sky 😉– DONT use rare/exotic words, or DONT go looking into the thesaurus to add intelligent (sounding) words to the SOP that make you “sound” sophisticated.
It is one sure shot way of letting the reader know that you are faking it (I used something like “for your perusal”, which was the first time I had ever heard of that word!)– DONT go to a consultant for SOPs. YOU can write the best SOP for yourself.Here are some DOs that I’d suggest:DO mention how your qualifications are well suited, or how you got interested into the program you are applying forDO research the courses offered by the university for the program that you have applied for, after which, you can mention how certain courses being offered by the university are in line with your goals of learning.
Although no one expects you to know your future, you can convey how you and the university can help you reach your goal.DO (YOU MUST) use correct english, with no spelling/grammatical mistakes. Consultants who take Rs 15K or Rs 30K need not be the ones with the best english capabilities. Just find a person who can fix all your mistakes, get your version read by any/every person you trust.DO keep it short and simpleThere’s no reason to have multi page resumes, and the same holds true with SOPs and Cover letters. Even though I had people telling me most of these points, I found it hard to accept these suggestions.Wish I could catch hold of my own SOP (which was much worse than the one posted here) so that I could show it to prospective applicants and tell them how “not” to write an SOP!PS: If you are wondering why I am so bothered to write such a long comment: I got 10 rejects out of the 11 univs that I applied for, and I can certainly say that my Rosy/TypicalIndianStudent SOP/Essay was among the main reasons to get these rejects. I did everything I have listed in the DONT section, and yet I managed to get into that one university. I lucked out. The SOPs above are all okayish.
But as someone who has been on both sides of the application process, I have to add a comment. The above SOPs are very 'typical' of students from India. The tone in which these letters are written is actually funny to most American faculty. Notice the element of melodrama in the SOP for CS: expressions like 'thirsting for technology', talking about perseverance and the greatness of knowledge, etc etc. The language is similar to that of a person describing a religious practice.
This is understandable for students from our culture, since we tend to see acquiring knowledge as a form of worship. For instance, most Indian kids will not step on a book.But you have to understand that this is not how Americans see it.
Americans see an education in very practical terms. This is not at all to say that Americans see it only in terms of money, NO!
Ambition is also a practical goal. There are many kids who want to do research because they want to satisfy their curiosity and ambition. Those are also practical goals.In short, I would suggest SOPs should express career goals succintly and clearly. Do not indulge in rhetoric.
It makes Americans think you have nothing to say or are lying to hide something. You need to understand that there is a gap in the perception of learning in India and America.It is a bit ironic for me to make this comment, since my own SOP was more or less like the ones above and full of rhetoric too. That is, of course, because I also come out of the exact same background as most aspirants on this website. But, having understood a bit more of how things work in American universities I hope I can offer some useful advice to others. Dear HSB followers,The below is my SOP.
I wanted to share this with you. Please feel free to comment on it.HSB, Please let me know to which ID the SOP's has to be sent for review.STATEMENT OF PURPOSEG.Vaidyanathan, India (MS applicant for Aerospace Engineering–Fall 2010)“Winners don’t do different things, but they do things differently”. This statement has influenced my out –of –box thinking with which I succeeded on numerous occasions. The attraction towards research started in my childhood. At the age of 5, my fascination towards planes and helicopters broke out and it was my parents who made me realize it. This realisation happened when they presented me a toy helicopter and I launched it in air to test its flight, without knowing that the toy was configured to move only on the floor.
It was the starting point in the creation of a research frame of mind. It went on to reassemble the broken toy.As a 20 year old, I aspire to tailor my career in research and development because it is in this field where I can always learn, and share my knowledge. I wish to pursue a MS and later a PhD in aerospace engineering with a specialization in guidance & navigations and MEMS/NEMS. I can apply the basics learned in the field of Image processing, Nanotechnology, Micro electronics and wireless communication system in aerospace engineering.
I wish to shape my career further as a quality researcher in an esteemed space research organisation that provides a challenging environment for research and development. I always love to update myself to the ongoing trends in technology, market and society, which in turns makes me foresighted (5-10yrs ahead).During the early days of this millennium, when NASA launched its shuttle (Columbia mission -STS87) in space carrying a 6 member crew, I was engrossed by space exploration and space communication.
Fascinated by the flow of zillions of data bits from earth to space, I committed myself to explain the mechanism of space communication to the audience in a inter school speech competition, and stood first among my peers. That was the spark that motivated me to go deep into the study of various modes of communications, signal processing, transmitters, receivers by pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering in my under graduate level, which I chose to do at Vickram College of Engineering, Anna University, India. Being the only son to my parents and brought up in a middle class family, I wanted to self finance my education. Working as a part time teaching faculty for OpenIT.LLC, USA helped me in supporting my education financially. I earned an opportunity to teach 150 students every semester in 10days training program (from my 3rd year of under graduation) in the field of image processing, Nanotechnology and wireless communication.
I extended my teaching to soft skills, personality and career guidance by actively conducting workshops for OpenIT.LLC, USA. I have served as a student ambassador for an International level techno management meet conducted by Anna University, Chennai, India and organised many cultural meets, inter college technical meets, seminars and symposiums which helped me connect with people across the globe.Presenting papers and doing real time projects in my area of interest have always been my passion. The journey started off with me winning the 1st prize for presenting a paper on MEMS DEVICES in a state level technical symposium. It was followed by my success in presenting a paper on “Science –an index of technological growth” and an international presentation on “Nanotechnology in India” in an International Conference EAST2007.During my 2nd year of graduation, I successfully completed a project “Refrigerator door alarm to sense the improper closing of door” with “Aplab Electronics Private Limited, India”-a multi national company.
With the exposure and knowledge I obtained in the field of electronic circuits, VLSI (with Xilinx 9.1), Wireless communication, Micro controllers during the under graduation coupled with a strong foundation in mathematics and science laid during my schoolings, I authored and presented a paper on my project “Prevention of car accident using Bluetooth communication” in many national level symposiums and was awarded 3rd prize in an international level technical symposium conducted by Indian Institute of Technology(Roorkee, India).I drew inspiration from Dr. Dexler’s contribution towards nanotechnology and Richard.P.Feynmann’s words “There is plenty of room at the bottom”, that has lead me to follow my passion for nanotechnology. I authored a paper on “Nanorobotics and its motion planning” under the guidance of Dr. Suja ravi issac, Head, department of Electronics and Communication engineering of Vickram College of Engineering, and presented it in an international conference MOLMAT 2008 in university Paul Sabatier, France. I started working on creating a Nano computing device, simulated an encryption algorithm, authored a paper “Nano bio computing –synthesis of nano bio computer using DNA and Nanorobots”, and presented / published in various international conference held at Indian Institute of technology, California, Spain, Texas and Atlanta.When poultry business was in bad state due to bird’s epidemic diseases, I worked out an engineering solution to isolate dead and sick chicken in poultry field, using image processing. My paper on “Isolation of dead chicken to prevent bird disease” was presented/published in an IEEE international conference ICDIP ’09 held at Thailand, Indian institute of technology, Nanyang university, Singapore and in other few organisations. Apart from academics, I am also part of a team working on a project on “fingerprint based security and ignition system for cars” and “virtual mouse for physically challenged using face recognition in image processing” for OPENIT.LLC, Atlanta, USA.
My on-going project on “Autopilot mode aero modelling with enhanced security systems for surveillances” has made me involve myself in the stream and shape my entire career in the field of aerospace. I am now in the process of integrating electronics, communication, image processing and MEMS/NEMS in building the aero model for surveillances.Space exploration has always been my passion since childhood. I am aware universities in the United States of America offer great scope and encouragement for intellectual & academic development. The process of technical advancement is very fast and receives considerable support in the USA.
Hence, the US has emerged as a world leader in Science & Technology. It is therefore natural for me to choose this country to give life to my dreams.An education under a reputed institution will create an opening for me to implement my ideas, thereby bringing my dreams into reality. Pursuing education in Georgia institute of technology, one of the renowned universities for this field, working under the guidance of well educated and qualified faculty of that university will definitely help me in transforming my dreams to reality. To create and to innovate, the right ambience and research equipments are available at Georgia institute of technology. This has made me feel Georgia tech is the ideal place to share, learn and develop my knowledge and wisdom.
