SOP Assistance
Each university/Department has its own requirement for preparing a Statement of Purpose, which is otherwise known as Statement of Intent, College application essay or simply essay etc. This SOP is a crucial admission document which makes or breaks an application. If the SOP is good, universities may overlook a few minor deficiencies and make a positive decision. At the same time, nothing can help a student, if the SOP is badly prepared, even if other aspects of the application are good enough.
When necessary, Indo European reviews the SOPs, evaluates the content, suggests changes and makes them (the SOPs) most effective for applicants’ purpose. This service is provided FREE OF COST.
