Hi everyone! If anyone wouldn't mind to much, I would very much appreciate having my Geography personal statement attacked with vigor! I would be willing to read yours in exchange, that is, if my SOP doesn't scare you away from my writing skills! Thank you!

I'm applying to 4 or 5 schools; I haven't finalized a couple. Originally, I was going to apply to more like 7-9, but I have since decided that rather than spend all the money on that and maximize chances or what not, it made more sense to go for the complete best fits and disregard the rest & use the extra time/funds to work on things to improve my application for the next year/resume in general if I do/do not get in!

Is this even if you are switching from something that is more easily to explain as related to cultural geography to physical geography? Thanks everyone for the great advice so far though
