tinapickles Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I finally have what I think is a decent working rough draft of my SOP. However, it's a bit lengthy (889 words) and I haven't yet fleshed out the "fit" paragraph yet. I need some suggestions on what and where to cut and/or how to make it more concise. If you're available/interested, let me know and I'll PM it to you. I'm applying to PhD English Lit programs for what it's worth. This is my first time applying so if things are... wonky please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time applying so if things are... wonky please let me know! I am also applying to English PhDs for the first time, so although I am no expert, I would be happy to help. Would you mind looking over my SOP as well? It's also in the rough draft stage, but I've gotten to the point where I can't figure out what would make it better and what would make it worse. I would love a second opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbmott Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I'd be happy to read and give feedback. Maybe you'd do the same for mine in a week or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinapickles Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Most definitely. May I send it to you towards the end of next week? I revised extensively since this post AND I'm in the final 4 days of review prior to taking the GREs. I would be more than willing to look over your SOP as well. I'd be happy to read and give feedback. Maybe you'd do the same for mine in a week or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
