ridofme Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 How are you referring to various programs in your statements of purpose? Other examples Berkeley/The Goldman School/UC Berkeley/Goldman School of Public Policy Princeton/Princeton University/The Woodrow Wilson School/WWS Michigan/The Ford School/The University of Michigan, etc. What is proper decorum? What about referring to the school by a longer name the first time around, and then shortening it, mostly for word count/flow purposes. I.e. "I am applying for a Master in PP at Harvard Kennedy School because...." and then "I am particularly interested in the Kennedy School's focus on blah blah blah". It's down to the wire and I'm freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rz922 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i think it's a good idea to refer to it first in full and then after "the kennedy school" or a shortened version is fine. I struggled with this too for same word count, decorum reasons. but it also sounds overwrought if you use the full name more than once i think...just my opinion but good luck!
