SOP & LOR Builder
Build a statement of purpose or a recommendation letter draft paragraph by paragraph, with a word counter and tips for each part.
Check the limit on the university's page. Many ask for 500 to 1,000 words.
Start with something specific that happened, not “since childhood I have loved…”. Two or three sentences are enough.
Style example (do not copy it): In my second year, a failed attempt to predict our college's electricity use made me realise that data can explain what intuition cannot.
0 words
Name the subjects and the skills they gave you. Mention marks only if they are strong. Link every point to the program.
Style example (do not copy it): My B.Tech in Computer Science gave me a strong base in algorithms, databases and statistics, and my elective in machine learning showed me how to apply them.
0 words
Describe your own part, the tools you used and the result, with a number if you can. One strong example beats five weak ones.
Style example (do not copy it): For my final-year project I built a demand-forecasting model that cut the error of the old method by 18 percent, and I presented it to the department.
0 words
Be specific. Read the program page and name two or three things that match your goals. General praise is easy to spot.
Style example (do not copy it): The course on applied time-series analysis and the work of Professor Smith on energy forecasting match the problem I want to study.
0 words
Be honest and concrete. Show that the program is a necessary step on a path you have thought about.
Style example (do not copy it): In the short term I want to work as a data scientist in the energy sector, and in the long term I hope to lead a team that makes power grids more efficient.
0 words
Finish with confidence and thanks. Do not repeat the whole essay.
Style example (do not copy it): My background, my project experience and my clear goals will let me contribute from my first semester, and I would be grateful for the chance.

Frequently asked questions
Does the tool write my SOP for me?
No, on purpose. It gives you the structure, a question for each paragraph and tips, and joins your answers into a draft. Admissions committees read many essays and notice a copied or generic one.
How long should an SOP be?
Follow the limit on the university's page. Many ask for 500 to 1,000 words. The tool shows how close you are to the limit you pick.
Can I write my own recommendation letter?
Teachers often ask students for a draft. Use the LOR mode for that, then let the teacher change it so it is true to their own view. The teacher must sign and send it, not you.
What makes an SOP stand out?
Specific examples with results, a clear reason for this program and university, and honest goals. One real story beats a list of marks and general praise.
