先写出UMICH ME关于SOP和PS的定义:
me.engin.umich.edu
Statement of Purpose (SOP): The Statement of Purpose should be a concise, well-written statement about an applicant’s academic and research background, career goals, and how this graduate program will help meet career and educational objectives.

Personal Statement (PS): The Personal Statement is an essay about how an applicant’s background and life experiences, including cultural, geographical, financial, and educational or other opportunities or challenges, motivated the decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan.

UMICH ME是要求同时提交SOP和PS的。通过以上看来,我们是不是应该这么总结:SOP主要写学术以及教育背景,证明这人很学术;PS主要写生活背景,证明这人RP不错?

之前看了好多关于PS的讲解,上面似乎都提到要把PS多写学术内容。可是现在看来,似乎PS要尽量贴近生活才是,SOP才是主要写学术的。总不可能把SOP和PS都写成学术的吧,那样就重复了。

各位版大的意见如何呢?谢谢{:7_198:}

各位大大看看这样理解是否合适?
情况1 当某校要求同时提交SOP以及PS的时候,参照UMICH的定义来写
情况2 当某校只要求PS/SOP的时候,UMICH的定义不再有效,需要在PS/SOP中同时提到学术、个人经历、目标等内容(相当于情况1中SOP以及PS的混合版)
