Hey all,

 

I have, thankfully, completed all of my PhD statements, and I've turned to working on those for my MA programs. However, I've run into a few problems:

 

1) The MA SOP prompts are asking, more or less, the same questions as the PhDs' but have MUCH shorter content limits. Like, 500 words max. vs 1200-1300 words max. Has anyone else had to deal with this? If so, what did you eliminate? I've spent hours and hours on my SOPs, and it pains me to have to get rid of so much content... but I know it must be done.

 

2) I have a pretty good idea of what I'd like to research as a graduate student; I've even had to discuss potential dissertation topics in a few of my PhD SOPs (which is both insane and exciting). The problem is my proposed research is definitely doctoral-length research--not research that be completed during a two-year MA program consisting primarily of coursework. Should I still discuss this potential long-term research in my MA SOPs as my intended overall graduate research? Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks in advanced!
