지원하는 과는 다르실 수 있지만, 일단 online application form은 같은 걸로 알고 있습니다.
UCB는 다른 학교랑 다르게 SOP / Personal History가 나누어져있네요.
이건 별 문제가 아닌데, 학과 홈페이지를 들어가봐도, online application에도 "word-limit"가 없어요 ㅠ
이런 경우, 어느 정도 작성하는게 적절할까요?
다른 학교를 위한 sop는 작성한 상태입니다. (2장) 여기 personal history가 포함되어있어서,,
내용을 반으로 쪼개서 제출할지..각각 2 page정도 되는 양으로 새로 작성할지 고민되네요 ㅎㅎ
<UCB의 guideline>
1. SOP
Please describe your aptitude and motivation for graduate study in your area of specialization, including your preparation for this field of study, your academic plans or research interests, and your future career goals. Please be specific about why UC Berkeley would be a good intellectual fit for you.
2. Personal History
The Personal History Statement is required from all applicants. Please note that the Personal History Statement should not duplicate the Statement of Purpose.
Please describe how your personal background and experiences influenced your decision to pursue a graduate degree. In this section, you may also include any relevant information on the following:
- How you have overcome barriers to access higher education
- How you have come to understand the barriers faced by others
- Your academic service to advance equitable access to higher education for women, racial minorities and individuals from other groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education
- Your research focusing on under served populations or related issues of inequality
- Your leadership among such groups
