Reusing Phrases (or paragraphs) in Statement of Purpose or Motivational Letter


Question

Posted

I am applying to master's of several different universities in different countries in Europe, but on exactly the same field. I have already written a statement of purpose and I was wondering if it would be okay for me to copy my own sentences or maybe an entire paragraph or two to statement of purposes or motivation letters of another universities.  In fact, writing entire paragraphs from scratch for each application is frightening and I worry about the quality.

I understand that including program-specific phrases is necessary and I am willing to add them. Moreoever, statement of purpose and motivation letter are different in character, so I can adjust them accordingly, though I still intend to reuse the majority of the text. 

Do you think this would cause me trouble somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Most people create a general template and fill in program-specific details into it. You're fine re-using paragraphs across applications.
