Chicago的Candidate statement 和PS不同吗？

在其学院网站上看到了essay的要求，不能写学过的课程之类的，要求写课外的，但我的PS又主要是以学过的课程为线索联系起来的，我理解得有误吗？？？
附上要求：
Candidate Statement
        The short essay provides you with an opportunity to tell us what interests you about Statistics, what your goals are, and what you hope to accomplish in your graduate studies. There is no need to tell us more about your grades, test scores, and course work in your essay—your transcript and other supporting material will provide this information. Instead, you should use the Candidate Statement as an opportunity to tell us about aspects of yourself that are not apparent from your transcript, such as extracurricular projects you have completed, work experience you have had, and so on. If you have completed graduate work elsewhere, your statement should include your reasons for wanting to change institutions or degree programs. This part of your statement is essential if you have completed more than two years of graduate study at other institutions.

很多学校都要写这个吧，类似于diversity statement
