Splitting SOP into two essays
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2013 8:11 am
Hi,
I'm applying to a university which has asked me to write a 1000-2000 word essay addressing both why I want to join that school, prior research exp. etc (standard SOP prompt)...and how my unique life experiences could contribute to their diversity, my family background etc and blah blah blah...
Since they have asked to me to address basically two distinct questions (in my opinion), I am considering splitting my essay into two parts, which address each question separately. That way I won't have to change the flow of my statement of purpose that I have written for other universities. Would it be all right for me to write two separate essays instead of a single one? Should I give some kind of a justification at the beginning of my statement?
