I am applying to an MS program for CS. Would it be advisable to mention two areas of interest in my SOP? Would it make my SOP seem unfocused?

Thank you for your responses

Thanks for your response. To follow up, what exactly is the first elimination process? Is that where they eliminate students purely on GRE scores and GPA?

Hi, I'm applying to graduate school and want to change majors from physics to CS. Most of my undergraduate work, internships and research has been in physics and electrical engineering with some programming. Since then, I've lost interest in physics/EE and want to focus on CS. What kind of advice would you give to me about explaining this in my SOP? I know that I will need to discuss my past experiences and I certainly will be doing that, but how do I do so without making my SOP seem unfocused? I fear that my application will be disregarded because I do not have adequate programming experience. Yet, there are some programs out there that will accept applicants without a strong CS background. I'd appreciate any kind advice that anyone here can offer regarding this issue. Thanks!
