Hey , So am applying for a masters in International Relations at several schools ! First time , writing a SOP and am quite tensed abt posting online. So , if someone is willing to preview it ! Please PM me ! thanks

Hi , i am applying to IR programs in the top universities . I have a letter of recommendation from my current employer - director at The EU Chambers of Commerce in India. A letter from the head of department of my undergrad program in Mumbai. I majored in Economics. Programs sucha s MALD at Fletcher and SAIS JHU , require 3 letters of recommendation. I am extremely confused about the 3rd one. I worked in Hungary for 6 Months at an SME , but the work was not directly related . I gave culture sensitization sessions and taught Business English. I can get a letter of recommendation from my employer there , they love me.. BUT IS IT RELEVANT ? Also , I was an extremely active part of AIESEC Mumbai- Organizing Chair Person of the Outgoing Exchange sector had a chance to develop my leadership skills as well. My job role required me to recruit, select and train students for International Internships in the Development and Education sectorI successfully forged partnerships with AIESEC chapters in 15 different countries and matched Indian students to internships there in areas as diverse as energy, HIV, disaster relief, public health, micro-finance etc. My Vice President went on to head AIESEC Peru at a National Level... Should I ask him for a letter of recommendation , as he has seen my leadership style etc .. The third option is to just get it from another professor since I graduated 2 years back...I had a minor in history and a major in economics , I had professors in both departments who will be willing to give me one. Really need some feedback in this regard ! Thanks Neha

Hi, So , maybe this is too specific for this thread , but I am writing my first SOP Ever and wanted to analyze the Question. Fletcher’s Committeeon Admissions seeks to ensure that there is a good match between each admittedstudent and the School. Please tell us your goals for graduate study atFletcher and for your career. Why is The Fletcher School the right place topursue your academic objectives and to prepare you to meet your professionalgoals? Why have you selected the degree program to which you’re applying? Ifyou are planning to pursue a joint degree, please be sure to address thisinterest in your personal statement.(600 - 800 words) This is for a course in IR , I am extremely confused about the flow of the SOP. There is a supplementary question on how my past experience has prepared me for this course. I was looking for some guidance on the content and flow / breakdown of the SOP. The introduction should mention my aspirations in general , to study at Fletcher or why Fletcher is so apt ? I hope this doesn't come off as too random ! Looking forward to some helpful replies ! Thanks in advance , Neha
