大家SOP都是怎么写的？

如果学校只要其一的话，SOP是和PS写的是大致一样吗？昨天把自己改了好几遍的SOP发给外教修改一下，结果人家说you are telling us a story about your adventures in education~~我瞬间迷茫了，难道SOP里面不能写经历和成绩吗，纯粹的写purpose？？
想问一问地里的各路大侠都是怎么写的~~感激不尽啊！！

In reality, a lot of the SOPs end up being artefacts that neither help nor hurt the cause of the application. Most SOPs tend to be similar to each other in flow and format and even though the individual facts differ, only rarely do they stand out. An important point missed out by most applicants is that even though the SOP is a means to convince the admissions committee of his/her calibre, it should not merely be a boastful compilation of the applicant’s previous achievements. In that case, the SOP ends up being nothing more than a verbose curriculum vitae, when it actually is supposed to be a statement of purpose. Majority of the SOPs fail to address the purpose part completely or only talk about it in a few sentences in the concluding paragraph. The statement should instead prove the candidate’s worthiness not just through his/her prior work, but with a detailed discussion of why the candidate chose the particular program, what he/she intends to do while pursuing the program and what he/she will do after having gained the education. Talking about a bright idea that one might have or an impactful long term project that the applicant wants to work on is more likely to catch the reviewer’s attention (and convince him that higher education will serve a good purpose) than the applicant’s memoirs.

-----from Stanford Committee, 希望帮助你啊～～～就因为这原因我sop写第五稿呢，都删了，开始重新布局，重新规划。

地里大牛们冒泡下吧，我纠结半天准备无视两个post doc给的建议，一意孤行要我自己的无删节版。我看着600字的SOP，从头到尾都是自己干过什么，无任何规划感想，连学校都不能夸，觉得很不爽。

我在自己顶一下~就一下

我觉得可以写吧？
我是写了两个经历  然后写通过这个经历学到了什么    慢慢对这个专业有了更深的兴趣  这样子

是不是你只是陈述性的写了下  没有分析？
可是看到也有老帖子同学说通过一个故事展现  外教说有趣呢

要不你详细问下外教  看他觉得怎样比较好

有些学校对SOP与PS有明确要求。没要求的话，我觉得还是都写成SOP的形式。

没什么差别，感觉

ps写自己是一个怎么样的人，sop写自己是一个怎么样的科学家。

ls这段信息很有用
看了这个，作为非牛人堆不出一堆经历的我
可以理直气壮地多写写别的了

我也是写了两个经历，在每个结尾写了一些自己的收获，但都是一两句话~~
我有一个经历写的太细了，然后外教说这是个lovely story，但是他不知道和purpose有什么关系……
于是乎我就迷茫了，不知道该怎么写了~~对于以后的规划也确实不怎么明确，做哪个方向也不太清楚，所以purpose很不好写啊，总不能就直白的说：你们学校EE好，我想去，这样毕业以后找工作更容易吧。

但是，这个，感觉真不好写啊~~~很多时候都是不知道什么理由的，什么选专业啊啥的
