Sweet!Somebody is finally writing in this thread. Since you are applying to SOAS, I assume you are interested in Asian, African and Middle East subjects. You should be able to find a few in the options for Courtauld. I found that Courtauld definitely has the best options to choose from. Everywhere else is a bit too specific, as I am still learning how to research and I am looking for more of a foundation.How much of your self are you writing about for the personal statement (for courtauld)? It seems like they want a mix. When I applied I spent more time writing about my aspirations, then why I wanted that option. Hopefully that doesn't affect me too much. I assumed each professor would want to get to know me a bit.
