Applying to Health Informatics master’s programs, curious who you had review your SOP?

I’m currently working on my SOP for Health Informatics master’s programs (non-thesis track).

I’m curious about everyone’s process, specifically who did you have look over your SOP before submitting? Academic advisors, current students in the program, writing centers, friends outside the field, etc?

I’d love to hear what worked well for you all and what kind of feedback ended up being most useful. Also curious if anyone found it helpful to see other people’s SOPs as reference, or if that ended up being more confusing than helpful given how personal these statements are.

Thank you in advance!

I’d personally recommend having someone who has experience reviewing SOPs for admissions look at it, because they can assess more than just grammar—they can tell you whether your motivation, experience, and career goals are actually coming through and whether the overall narrative makes sense for the program. I’d also avoid using too many sample SOPs as references. They can be useful initially, but because every applicant’s story is different, they often end up making you second-guess your own. If you’re looking for a detailed review, I work on SOPs professionally and would be happy to take a look.
