Is it okay to use someone else’s SOP to apply abroad?

Heyyy so like i’ve been seeing people just take SOPs from others n use it for their college apps abroad… is that chill?? or like, is it considered cheating?? alsoo what is sop means exactly :sweat_smile:

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 :grimacing:

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 :sob: better just write ur own, even if it’s messy

ik ppl who copied and got in ngl but still, it’s risky + doesn’t feel right. like how would u explain it in interview if u didn’t write it :skull: just get inspo from others but write in ur own words bro
