We know that most students need help with their Statement of purpose. That’s why we recorded this episode to dive deeper into the process to mindfully and purposefully - ha! ha! - create a statement of purpose!

In this episode, our specialist writer, Varun, breaks down the process used by our consultants to create a statement of purposes for our students. This process has worked time and again!

The 5 steps are:

Story - Write 5 adjectives that describe who you are. Brainstorm the stories/experience from your life that reflects these adjectives.
Outline - Create an outline that emphasizes Readability and Sense of action.
Delivery - How does the tone, voice, and confidence come off from the words you use?
Language - Grammar, quality of words (there’s a surprise here!)
Beta-Test - Measure the message in your statement of purpose compared with the 5 adjectives you listed in Step 1.

In this episode, we talk about 3 steps to start writing your statement of purpose. These steps are:

Write about something you care about, about the stories. Create an outline to organize your ideas/stories.
Use simple language and words to form your sentences. Create an objective and find out how others perceive.
Write for 15 minutes using pen and paper before you actually start writing your statement of purpose. This gets your mind to slow down to improve your writing by deliberately thinking about the ideas you’re writing about the words you’re using to describe them.

These foundational steps build a strong statement of purpose.
