SOP fresh set of eyes

Recommended Posts

Looking for an anthropological fresh set of eyes on my SOP, direct message me if you are willing to be of assistance!
 

Need recommendations on 

1. How much do I need to describe my experience, if its already on  my CV?
2. Do I need to cite my references in the SOP?

Hey @gradanth

I have background in Anthro. from when I applied a couple years ago, my undergrad advisor said be succint. Only describe how your experience contributed to your decision to attend graduate school. You don't need to include everything from the CV - just include what you think is important. As for citing, you shouldn't be citing references. The SOP is all about telling the adcomms what motivated you, what you plan to do, and how the program will help you. Give them a brief overview of what you want to do for your thesis/dissertation.

Let me know if you have more questions!
