How to write an effective statement of purpose<br>Remember that your first paragraph should be no longer than four or five sentences. However, it should also give a summary of the entire statement of purpose. Many graduate committees will read your first paragraph to decide if the rest of your application is worth reading as well.
A good first paragraph can be four or five sentences, plus a summary.
The recommended length of 4-5 or less pages INCLUDES the summary, making this wrong. The model missed that inference.
