With a 500 word SOP,  you need to be very concise. It’s more like a cover letter than an essay. In this example grad school essay, you will notice how the person focuses more on outcomes and highlighting what they have achieved rather than the details of how they got there.

If you want to know how to write a statement of purpose for grad school, I also share grad school essay tips you can apply to write your own statement of purpose and you can check out my channel for more sample grad school essays.
