SoP Examples From AI Applicants?

[DorkRawk]

I'm starting to write my SoP and I was wondering if any PhD applicants studying AI would be willing to share their SoP? I'm trying to get a good feeling for the style and level of detail I should go into for all the different parts. Feel free to PM me if you don't feel like sharing with the whole world.

Thanks!

I will think about sharing mine but here's a suggestion for a good SOP that stands out from the rest. Instead of going from your background to your research interest, do the other way around. Be straight to the point at the very beginning.

1. Your very brief introduction (education: where are you from, which school did you attend, your major and your goal to pursue a graduate program in CS and AI)

2. Go straight to your interest in AI (with some brief explanation: why you like it), some projects and aspects of it that you want to study and do research on, which professors you want to work with. (Also add a compliment about that school's CS department and AI program)

3. Explain what makes you think you and that school will both benefit from each other: now, explain in depth about your academic standing/achievement, RESEARCH EXPERIENCE.

4. Make a short conclusion.
