Umm so sop = statement of purpose… it’s like this essay where u tell the uni why u wanna join their course. it gotta be personal ya, like ur story, goals, vibe. copying someone else’s kinda defeats the whole point tbh

nah fr don’t do that… unis take this stuff seriously. they might even run it thru plagiarism checkers. u get caught, it’s game over better just write ur own, even if it’s messy
