Hey all,
So when, if ever, is it appropriate to make a slight joke in your SOP?
I'm applying to social work and I'm discussing sort of a heavy topic in my statement. the statement requires me to identify a social problem and how a practice or policy could change the issue. Anyway, so I'm talking about the problem, and i go on to say "if i had my way blah blah blah blah" [stuff about what how I would address the issue], then it pops up in my head to say "unfortunately, or some would argue fortunately, I am not the ruler of all things"....appropriate?? leave it out?? Leaning more towards scrap it.
Thoughts, please!!!
