aiy1208 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi everyone, I have been working on my SOP essay for biostat phd programs. As I am writing it, I am not sure whether I should include names of professors who I would like to work with in that program. To be honest, for most of the programs that I am planning to apply to, I don't have specific professors in mind. In my essay, I just described my research interests and made sure that there are a decent number of professors working on the areas I have discussed. Still, I didn't include any names when describing those interests. I know that usually statistics phd programs admit students on a department level, but is that also the case for biostat programs? Will not including names hurt my application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayessays Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It shouldn't make a huge difference. I've usually listed a few names but I think what you're doing is fine unless the department specifically asks for names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
