UCLA是要求申请者写Purpose of Statement以及Personal History Statement的. 要求分别如下
SoP-- Describe your scholarly and research area(s) of interest, experiences that contributed to your preparation in the field, and your plans for your future occupation or profession. Briefly describe experiences that have prepared you for advanced study or research, and provide any additional information that may aid the selection committee in evaluating your preparation and aptitude for graduate study at UCLA. If you are applying for a research masters or doctoral program, you are encouraged to indicate specific research interests and potential faculty mentors.
PS--UCLA: Describe how your background, accomplishments, and life experiences led to your decision to pursue the graduate degree for which you are applying. Include any educational, personal, cultural, economic, or social experiences, challenges or opportunities relevant to your academic journey. In addition, please describe any aspects of your personal background, accomplishments, or achievements that will allow the department to evaluate your contributions to the University's diversity mission. Contributions to diversity and equal opportunity can take a variety of forms, such as efforts to advance equitable access to education, public service, that addresses the need of a diverse population, or research that explores inequalities.

我个人的理解是,我现在在SoP里面已经提到我的很多申请MS做的准备,项目和竞赛经历大都写在SoP里面了,那么PS再重复一遍显然有些多余. 所以我现在在写PS的重点放在更多SoP以外的内容, 例如个性和兴趣呀, 参加过的课外活动呀, 选修过的人文课程呀, 海外交流呀. 我打算把leadership作为PS的核心点.
不知道大家是怎么看?
