LaTeX Template for Statement of Purpose

The SOP (Statement of Purpose) season is back! and I got requests from my friends to review and help them polish up their SOPs. I wanted to share my LaTeX template for SOP with them. Please feel free to use it.

Requirement

  • It uses Adobe Caslon Pro font family. If you don’t have them, you cannot compile the SOP. For more information about the fonts, please visit here.

How to Compile

It uses xelatex to use custom fonts. After modifying the downloaded main.tex, type the following on the terminal:

$ xelatex main.tex

I only tested it on OSX machines, you may have problems on other platforms such as Windows or Linux.
