"dynamic approach to architectural studies" SOP - the reason for choosing our school?

XXX is the best school for me to continue on my journey to becoming an architect who is conscious of design's impact on people, culture, and society. I have seen how the school encourages students to think beyond the tangibility of architecture to the intangible, philosophical, and theoretical form that defines the role of architects in our society. Also, I admire XXX's dynamic approach to architectural studies through experiments, research, and constructions which explore the endless possibilities of architecture.

Please let me know if the above paragraph sounds appropriate and specific. Also, is it ok to say 'admire'...or does that sound too much?

Thank you,

Well, "admire" is usually a word we use for another person whom we revere and aspire to be like.


I don't think this seems sincere. Any school with an architecture program will encourage students that way. So... the important thing is to figure out something meaningful to say. What is the real reason you would want to go to this school instead of a different one?

The best reason is when there is a particular prof whom you admire. So, you choose this school because of the prof whose articles/books have inspired you.

Thank you, Susan!

I don't have a particular prof I want to write about...but, I really like the school. It has interesting and innovative programs. I'll try to think of something that's more meaningful.
