LJS Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hello everyone, Apologies if this question has already been asked but I've been unable to find the thread if it has. When submitting a statement of purpose, is it generally recommended that you start off with "Statement of Purpose", include your name, the department that you're applying to or anything like that? I mean outside the main body of text as a title or header, obviously you mention where you're applying to in the statement itself. Or do most people just submit it as an unformatted essay (apart from paragraphs) on the basis that all of the other information is linked to your application online?

chateauheart Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I would put "Statement of Purpose" and your name. It's linked to your application online, but note that many departments print out these applications for final committee review, so it can be safer to have an identifier on your page so it doesn't get lost.
