wine-ing Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So, two of the schools that I'm applying at are ones that I've attended for graduate and undergraduate studies. I figure that I need to have a more personalized statement, but I'm wondering whether it should just be tailoring "that one paragraph that mentions specific professors" or if I should be rewriting the thing to be more specific to the school. But, on the other hand, how seriously would they take a SOP if they knew the student well? I know I have to put the effort in for the application, but I'm wondering if it's worth spending the extra time rewriting my SOP if they might pay less attention to it.

fencergirl Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you are really interested in these programs, I think you should definitely take the time to be more specific. Seems to me like it could reflect badly if your SOP is seen as generic for a school you actually went to, and therefore should have plenty to say about.
