UC系统申请需要的材料

网申的时候要两封个人说明，一封是The Statement of Purpose，另一封是Personal History and Achievements/Contributions，请问大家这两封分别写点什么内容，应该写多少字合适？

前一个是学术方面的 后一个是个人方面的

官方说法，我觉得要求讲得挺清楚的：

1.
Statement of Purpose

Please describe your aptitude and motivation for graduate study in your area of specialization, including your preparation for this field of study, your academic plans or research interests in your chosen area of study, and your future career goals. Please be specific about why UC Berkeley would be a good intellectual fit for you.


2.
Personal History Statement

Required of all applicants. Please note that the Personal History Statement should not duplicate the Statement of Purpose.

Please describe how your personal background informs your decision to pursue a graduate degree. Please include information on how you have overcome barriers to access higher education, evidence of how you have come to understand the barriers faced by others, evidence of your academic service to advance equitable access to higher education for women, racial minorities, and individuals from other groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education, evidence of your research focusing on underserved populations or related issues of inequality, or evidence of your leadership among such groups.
