What are you looking for in a review of your essay? No one here is on admissions committees, or if they are, they won't be able to personally critique your materials.

As far as I know, political science is relatively different from policy or public administration. The latter emphasizes particularly on economical analysis of policies, while political science focuses on the institutions' behaviors. So you'd better make clear which is your real interests and apply to the right program with a matching SOP.
