What should I write in my SOP if I'm unsure of my long term goals ? (working vs academia)


Recommended Posts

I'm applying for Masters programs in computer science, but I'm not quite sure if I want to continue to a PhD program or go straight to industry afterwards.  Is it OK to state that I'm unsure?  How would you talk about this?

Hello,

 

Most stand alone masters of computer science programs are geared towards industry. You should gear your SOP towards going directly into the work world after you finish. Be sure to fully explain your areas of interest and how that particular program has specific resources/classes that you are interested in taking advantage of. -Admissions Advice Online
