Keep your paper original and valid, leave the quotes in their books and movies. Quotes almost always do more harm than good when they are used in your Personal Statement. They might trigger a plagiarism checker, take up valuable space, and are so cliche they make your writing less credible with their very presence.
The Quote: Be careful incorporating quotes into the statement. If you start off with a quote, incorporate a quote or end with a quote, make sure it fits (tie it to your theme) and is not just plopped into the statement for dramatic effect. Be mindful of oversharing. We appreciate learning about your personal journey.
A statement of purpose should have a sharper focus than a personal statement. It should show that you have a strong sense of, well, purpose in applying to the program. In your statement of purpose, place the emphasis on all of the reasons that you are applying to graduate school.
You can start your essay with a quote or anecdote that fits the context, and explains your motivation to study the programme they offer. Avoid cliched, over-used quotes, which will make your writing read like a school essay.
A clear introduction, explaining why you want to study the course.
The short answer is that a statement of purpose is about what you want to do, while a personal statement is about who you are. Each essay has its own goals in what it's supposed to do for you and the program you're applying to.
And don't rely on someone else's words ditch the opening quotes. Quotations are top of the list of admissions tutors' pet hates. They particularly dislike it if you put a quotation in right at the start and it's even worse if you don't actually explain why it's there. It's your statement, after all.
Keep your paper original and valid, leave the quotes in their books and movies. Quotes almost always do more harm than good when they are used in your Personal Statement. They might trigger a plagiarism checker, take up valuable space, and are so cliche they make your writing less credible with their very presence.
DON'T write your statement with the goal of telling schools what you think they want to hear. Sincerity is important and recognizable. DON'T use quotes or give a title to your statement.
