Social Psych SOP - Round 2

[socialpsychg]

I've taken advice from her and my thesis advisor since my last draft, and significantly revised it. Any input or criticism (anything at all - even to just repeat what someone else said!) is absolutely appreciated

The fake names you used cracked me up:o

Forgot to address the second question: I would definitely go with the better piece of writing. Just keep editing the SOP and make it as good as it can be (this is the only other piece of your writing the adcom can look at, so if both pieces are really well-written, they will have no reason to think you didn't write one!).

I'm glad my fake names could lighten up your day

Perhaps mentioning that I hope my research will be applied to real-world social problems will help, although I don't think that would showcase my personality specifically (unless I identified that as my primary passion, which would be disingenuous).
