A strong SOP for MiM shows why you want the degree, what you’ve done so far, and how the program fits your career plan. Schools like HEC Paris clearly say they look for “motivation, maturity, and clarity in goals” in their SOP section. So your answer should reflect all three from the very first line.
Start by showing what got you interested in management. Your story can be about a project, an internship, or a problem you solved. Keep it clear and personal. Schools want to know how your past links to your future goals.
Next, connect your goals to the program. Talk about what you want to do after MiM maybe work in consulting, product management, or start a venture. Be specific. And explain how the school’s curriculum, location, or teaching style helps. For example, ESCP MiM gives you multi-country exposure, which is great if your goals are global.
In the end, show how you can add value. Mention soft skills like leadership, teamwork, or diversity. Show you're ready to learn, share, and grow. Don’t copy from templates. Make it your story but keep it structured and relevant.
