I want to assure one thing about the statement of purpose. PLEASE READ I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW

- WHAT IS STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF KOREAN UNIVERSITIES, especially the GACHON UNIVERSITY If you know?
- WHAT STRUCTURE/ FORMAT SHOULD I FOLLOW TO WRITE?

Currently I am applying to South Korean Universities and some of them requiring STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. I have never heard of this type of essay and I searched and studied about it. Before, I wrote only common app essay PERSONAL STATEMENT but it turned out bad. (During the ED and RD, I couldn't write my essay because I was stuck and my english level didn't reach the level of writing a personal statement essay)

First I am taking help from Educational Support Center and they just told me to write personal essay and they need to send my application. The sample was just list of achievements; experiences; exam and grade scores; and her/his name and family members. I was so shocked by this. My problem is I don't want to write like the sample they sent me. The problem I am suffering is should I write it as same as the sample or try another type of writing. TELL ME THE WHAT IS STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

MAIN QUESTION: Is it correct that SOP is different than PS? Does SOP must include /The format or structure/ -> Hook, my academic interest, first my academic achievements, extracurricular activities(experiences), passion(why this major and why this school), about English/ Korean language proficiency (I really don't know what to write about in this section as I seen from one example the educational support center sent was just mentioned her/his score he/she got)
Here is my outline - My major is computer engineering. Love technology and Design, coding and as a hobby; dancing and reading book.

Firstly, I write about how much I love and good at every subject and don't know which one to choose to pursue in the future. Then I chose all of them like technology and computer engineering can turn and connect to every subject. So I can study and learn about biology, history, physics and even literature. Then I write about my experiences and achievements so memorable and connected to my major.(1. Should I write all of my achievements or not? If not what types of should I write about 2. Most of my internship and achievements connected designing, web design and graphic design but I am applying to computer engineering. Also, I love coding and engineer.) I thinking to connect my designing skill through website because building a website requires coding and designing skill at the same time. Also I have attended 7 years of drawing and designing lessons. For 3-4 years of coding. Then I will write about my future plan and why the university, korea suits my desire how that can help to reach my dream. Then as the format said mention language proficiency scores and I am also learning korean happily. and Conclusion.

What do you think about this structure and outline please let me know.

A statement of purpose is the written interview that the university admissions committee members use to determine your fit as a student at the university. There are specific information that they look for in your writing such as. Some of the information that they want to learn about are:

1. What was the earliest reason that influenced your decision to seek this course major?
2. What makes you believe that you can make a difference in this field of study and profession?
3. Why did you choose their university? What set their university apart in your eyes? What is special about their curriculum in your opinion?
4. How does the university fit in with your short term career plan?

These are but a few of the information that you can use to create a more interesting and aligned statement of purpose for your college application. The contents of the SOP should never be confused with the SOP. That is a totally different essay with a different writing guide.

Here is my essay for Korean University. Could you give some feedbacks and fix my writing. Thank you. Additionally I followed the structure that gave me
Dear Admissions committee,
My long-term goal is to create platforms that improve access to education, healthcare, and other essential fields, especially in my home country, Mongolia. I believe technology can bridge these gaps and provide equal opportunities for all, and I want to be part of building that future.
Gachon University stands out as the ideal place for me to grow as a future computer engineer because of its innovative curriculum, practical focus, and support for international students. The Department of Computer Engineering especially stood out to me because its specialized tracks align perfectly with my academic interests and long-term goals. The specialized tracks: AI & Big Data, Information Security, and IT Convergence, perfectly align with my broad interests in technology. Another reason I am deeply drawn to Gachon is its English-taught program, which will allow me to study in a language I am proficient in. At the same time, I am eager to enrich my understanding of Korean language and culture by enrolling in up to 17 credits related to Korean language and culture. I believe this bilingual learning environment will help me adapt smoothly to both academic life and Korean society. Gachon's location near Pangyo Techno Valley, Korea's Silicon Valley, presents amazing opportunities for internships, industry experience, and career growth. Additionally, Korea is a global leader in technology, and its dynamic tech industry and digital culture perfectly match my career ambitions.
Over the past two years, I have interned at nearly ten startups, taking on roles such as graphic designer, front-end developer and other IT-related positions. My team also secured third place in a website-building hackathon. These experiences provided me with firsthand insight into real-world work environments, where I collaborated with diverse teams and contributed to meaningful projects. They reinforced my belief that technology can be a powerful tool to bridge gaps in essential services like education and healthcare. By developing user-friendly and accessible platforms, I aim to address resource limitations in regions like Mongolia. These formative experiences have solidified my commitment to leveraging technology for social good, aligning seamlessly with my aspiration to create inclusive platforms that enhance access to vital services.
At Gachon, I aim to maintain a 4.0 GPA while gaining practical experience through internships. I also hope to join clubs and research labs where I can collaborate with others, grow as a developer, and explore new ideas in technology.
After graduating from Gachon University, I hope to work in a tech company where I can continue building innovative tools and platforms. Eventually, I want to create a startup that combines design and engineering to improve education, communication, and access to information.
I currently hold an IELTS score of 6.0 and an SAT score of 1200, both taken eight months ago. I continue practicing English daily to reach near-native fluency, and I am also learning Korean with excitement and joy, inspired by Korean dramas, music, food, and culture.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to bringing my creativity, dedication, and energy to Gachon University as I develop into an innovative computer engineer.
