PS 和 SOP 是有区别的

• Statement of Purpose (SOP): The Statement of Purpose should be a concise, well-written statement about an applicant’s academic and research background, career goals, and how this graduate program will help meet career and educational objectives.

• Personal Statement (PS): The Personal Statement is an essay about how an applicant’s background and life experiences, including cultural, geographical, financial, and educational or other opportunities or challenges, motivated the decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan. For example, if an applicant grew up in a community where educational, cultural, or other opportunities were either especially plentiful or especially lacking, they might discuss the impact this had on their development and interests. This should be a discussion of the journey that has led to the decision to seek a graduate degree.


这是Umich ME
对SOP和PS的解释
并且UMich
要求同时提交SOP和PS

真相在这里http://me.engin.umich.edu/studen ... ts_MSApplicants.pdf


另外，berkely的ME也要求同时提交SOP和PS

To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend that you fill in the required personal details on the online application system, submit transcripts, your statement of purpose, and your personal statement well before the 11:59pm deadline.

都纠结了吧楼上的

飘逸点 人要sop就命名sop发过去 人要ps就命名ps发过去

人要sop+ps 就分开 关于research和graduate plan以及career plan的 就叫sop

关于academic performance以及special experience的 就叫ps

okay。。。

是的 我一直都是这么觉得的 ！！！

我之前也是看了很多学校也是这样写的

学习了

原来是这样啊。。貌似有些SOP要求1-2page~

各种真相帝浮出水面啊……

是的
Berkeley要求的两篇差别很大，网申页面有专门说明

不错，谢谢分享！

像Umich, 可不可以把ps里面的一部分当成sop?

Thank You
