Okay thank you.

Also, I think for grad school you have write both a SOP and personal statement. For some of these research programs I am applying for it seems the 2 are used interchangeably, but I think there’s a distinct difference for grad school.

One of the programs I’m applying for said to include:

1. WHat you hope to gain and your objectives in the program?

2. What are your career plans after undergrad?

3. Describe previous/current research experience.

4. Describe research area(s) of interest

5. Provide other relevant info (honors, awards, leadership, organizations, etc…)

Isn’t that the criteria for a SOP and not a personal statement?
