I think this is fairly close to a business question and I respect biz/ more than any other board for honest smart advice.
Writing my letter of intent for grad school. Should it be concise and straightforward to the point almost like a resume or should I inject a bunch of personality in there to make the reader identify, sympathies and like me? If it's both, what should the ratio be...80/20?
I want it interesting but I don't want to cheese it up or go of on irrelevant autobiograpical tangent either. What should the tone be?
What kind of grad school? In any case it's best to be honest and straightforward, and not too cute.

Depends entirely on the person reading it. What's to the point and direct to one person is cold and angry to another. Figure out who is going to be reading it and doxx the fuck out of them then adjust your style accordingly.

It's for a masters in health administration. It will be read by a group of people.
Any more thoughts?
