Nadin BrounI know that this thread is pretty old but I just wanted to say what I think about what colleges look for in SOP.
I think that the most important thing they want to see is an applicant's desire and, well, purpose to study at their university.
They want to hear reasons why you want to study this particular course or pursue this particular degree.
And of course they want to know your experiences and how this experiences and projects influenced you.
The best advice on writing SOP I've found in this article - Write Stories. Not Statements.
Hope this will be helpful for someone!
