Hey guys So, I'm polishing my SOP, and can't freaking figure out what the length requirements are--the general application page says 1-1 1/2 pages, which is really not a lot--does anybody know if there's more room in the comp lit dept somewhere in the bowels of the UCB website?
I'm going for the more creative, personal approach--that is, I don't start with "I want to do this because that" but instead tried to show how I think about literature and how that fits in with what I've done and want to do--is that ok? I applied last year and got rejected, so I'm going for a different approach. It's scary, but it feels better than the cookie-cutter stuff--at least I'm saying what I want.
