<p>Does anyone feel like that their statement of purpose essay will never finish? Never see the final draft?</p>
<p>I'm not sure how many revisions this particular essay is going to see.... and my advisor keeps saying they're all fairly good!</p>
<p>I completely agree! I've been slaving away at it for a while now, and it still doesn't seem to flow the way I want it to.</p>
<p>I've decided that I'm just going to send in all my apps soon, regardless of their deadlines, and just hope for the best. </p>
<p>Good luck on your SOP ticklemepink!</p>
<p>I've read and revised my SOP so many times that I now think my essay is absolutely ridiculous. Well, I have to send it out anyways now....</p>
<p>i don't think i've ever spent so much time agonizing over a blank screen. i eventually finished a draft and am now waiting awhile to revisit it. i hear you though!</p>
<p>The worst is when you have to completely redo the SOP or write special essays. Like layne, one of my schools (Columbia) wants a 500 word SOP, and I ended up having to start anew. Good thing they have my CV, because with so little space, there's little room for research experience descriptions in the SOP. One school left - Berkeley - and I'm tempted to just throw together anything for that last personal history essay. Thank God it will be over soon.</p>
