Hey there!
I'm trying to apply to Georgia Tech's Master of Science in computer science and they seem to have slightly different application requirements than most universities. They require a Career and Objectives Essay and a Statement of Purpose (I've linked to the page so you can see it for yourself):
Career Objectives and Background Essay - "
What has prepared you for this program?" Up to 2,000 characters allowed for response.
Statement of purpose
Academic and career plans. Up to 4,000 characters allowed for response
I'm a bit confused about how to approach this. Normally, a single Statement of Purpose incorporates both these things. I'm thinking I write about my past academic history and so on in the Career Objectives and Background Essay (e.g. I did XYZ internship in 2018 and did ABC in it), while the Statement of Purpose, in this case, should be a bit more story-like, and more like a personal statement, that describes my personal history (e.g. I was always interested in blah, blah, blah) and why I want to study there (Georgia Tech's great, etc.)?
Any of you have any suggestions on how to structure it better? Am I misunderstanding something? Any and all feedback is welcome.
