Statement of Purpose Advice

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I've been working on my SoP, and I had a few questions about it.</p>

<p>1) For an engineering master's program, what is an acceptable length? I've heard 1-2 pages, leaning more towards 2 pages in some sites and more toward 1 page in others.</p>

<p>2) I want to go into industry after I get my degree and not pursue a Ph.D. (though I haven't eliminated it from my options). Should I talk about what I want to do in industry or focus on what research I want to do for my degree? It seems that schools want researchers, not students who want to go into industry. Would that make it hard to get into a program if I talk a lot about industry?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
