For an MBA application, many universities provide specific guidelines for the SOP. These guidelines can be related to the university's mission statement. In such scenarios, it is important to create an SOP on the basis of these guidelines. You must research about university's vision and mission and use it in your MBA SOP, along with explaining your motivation for the program. It is also important to check the word limit prescribed by universities and limit your SOP within that word requirement.

As an SOP for MBA is a formal document, it is important to keep its formatting standard through out the document. Usually, you can keep the font Times New Roman 11 and justify the content. Make sure that both left and right indents are 0'. Also, the before and after Spacing should also be kept at 0 point. The SOP should be properly divided in paragraphs. The choice of words and sentences should be simple. Overall, the SOP should look presentable and appealing.

No, you should not duplicate another person's SOP, for an MBA or any other program. The act of doing so is regarded as plagiarism, which is often found using software that looks for resemblances between SOPs. Furthermore, replicating someone else's SOP will not allow you to highlight your own skills and qualities, which is the main goal of the document. Instead, concentrate on creating a unique SOP that represents your unique experiences, objectives, and capabilities. Avoid writing anything that you cannot defend in your interview.
