Organizing SOP
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 6:21 pm
Hello all,
I'm having a little trouble coming up with ideal organization for my SOP for astronomy schools. Right now, by paragraph it's pretty much:
I. Intro/anecdote portraying development of my interest in astronomy
II. Career goals and purpose of applying to the school
III, IV. Explanation of two major research projects I've done as an undergrad.
V. Teaching experience.
VI. Research interests/how these align with the school/faculty of interest
VII. Conclusion
As of now I feel like my teaching experience paragraph(V) is a little out of place... it doesn't flow well into my next paragraph. But I talk about one of my research projects in paragraph VI. Anyway, just wondering how ya'll may have organized your SOP or any suggestions you may have about my organization? BTW the statement right now is ~1000 words.
Thanks! And good luck to everyone else applying this Fall!
