Preparing Statement of Purpose and Application Essays

Writing effective SOPs and essays

The Statement of Purpose (SOP) is a statement of your academic and career goals and background. It is one of the four most important documents that admission committees will use to evaluate you as a candidate for higher studies. (The others are recommendation letters, transcripts and your scores for the GRE® test). Having a good SOP can often compensate for a moderate academic record and a relatively low GRE score, making it possible for even an average student to get admission to a good university. To help you prepare a good SOP we put you through a workshop and personal sessions with our SOP counselors.

Preparing Letters of Recommendation

Selecting recommenders and knowing what to highlight

Recommendation letters are the second-most crucial documents that admission committees require. Usually 3 recommendation letters are requested along with every application form to certify that you are a deserving student. Our SOP counsellors provide guidance on how recommendation letters should highlight your academic and professional achievements based on your areas of interest.

University Selection

Knowing where to apply

University selection is the most crucial stage of the application process. It is done based on your test scores, at least 7 months before the time you intend to join your prospective universities. Based on our extensive experience in this field and contacts with our past students in almost all American universities, we help you select good universities to apply to, where chances of getting financial assistance are also good.

A major chunk of your educational expenses can be taken care of if professors offer you research or teaching assistantships (RA/TA).
