    The winning SOP is written carefully and the student must ensure that he avoids making mistakes in the document. You must avoid the following common mistakes in your SOP:
    •    Plagiarism: The SOP should be original. Never copy samples. Universities use detection tools.
    •    Generic statements: Avoid vague and generic phrases. Be specific and focused.  
    •    Use of quotes: There is no need to use quotes in the SOP as they increase words but do not add value.
    •    Ignoring Guidelines: Always follow university-specific instructions (if any). Adhere to the word limit.
    •    Grammat
