George2248 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I was wondering if there is any Personal History Statement exchange, especially the one from Berkeley. I just finished my first draft and want to share it, I can also read or critique other. I am a little bit lost to what is the focus of this essay and would like to see what others think Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Reid Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 i'm totally happy to read it -- i'm working on mine for berkeley (public health) right now -- and totally am fed up with it email me and ill send you thoughts nickreid [at] nickreid [dot] com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hey guys, I am also applying to Berkeley (for M.Arch) and am struggling a bit with the PHS. How have you guys approached it thus far? I'm interested in focusing on public interest design (in architecture) and I'm trying to implement a combination of my experience with social-oriented work and creative work. I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Please feel free to share how you guys have been approaching this Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisoj5 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm working on my Berkeley PHS as well, and definitely need some feedback; I'd be happy to do an exchange with someone. I'm at about 400 words at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long are you guys doing this and the sop? how many words? The prompt states that it should be no more than two pages, double spaced. I find the most difficult part of this is condensing it into such a short essay. I'm at 643 words, and just barely over 2 pages. I'm going to work on it a little bit more but I'd love to do an exchange at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prompt does not say anything about the length, in the department they told me they like 3 pages double spaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Sorry about that George, my prompt came specifically from the Architecture department's website. I should have realized that it'd be different between departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s fine, I already have my first draft finished if you still want to exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
