Statement of Purpose

[DPVC]

Hi everybody,

I am applying to grad schools this fall. Unfortunately, I am a little bit behind schedule... I already finished my SOP, but one of the schools I am applying to wants a statement of purpose and a personal statement. I have never written a personal statement, and am struggling a little bit with disentangling my background from my research interests. Is there anybody here who has written both before and would be willing to give me suggestions or send me theirs?

Thanks in advance!

Does the school itself provide any specific guidelines?
