爱丁堡大学网申时候除了PS之外有个Relevant Knowledge/Training Skills，除了前面的500字PS要求，后面这个框框也必须写500字。这个框框在7年前爱丁堡大学的申请系统就有了，是一个独立材料，也不是必须填的，因为爱丁堡可以传材料的地方有限制，大家很多会在这里贴自己的CV，也有在这里汇总和你所申专业有关的获奖经历或课外课程的。爱丁堡大学的文书要求是

爱丁堡大学官网对PS的说明：

Personal statement

You will need to submit a personal statement of around 500 words, outlining your academic history and relevant experience.

Your personal statement is an important part of your application: it will help selectors to decide whether you are good match for the programme you have applied for and, just as importantly, whether the programme is right for you.

Areas to cover

Your personal statement gives you the opportunity to outline your academic history and relevant experience in order to demonstrate that you are a suitable candidate for the programme you have applied for. 

You should also use your personal statement to outline your motivation for your chosen area of study. Try to answer questions such as:

• Why are you interested in studying at Edinburgh?
• Why have you chosen this particular programme?
• If you are studying for career development, what are your career plans and how will your studies support these?

If you have any other relevant experience, for example paid or voluntary work experience or additional qualifications not stated elsewhere, then please include this information in your personal statement, or you can add it to the “Relevant knowledge/training skills” field in the application form.

If you are applying for more than one programme you should write a tailored personal statement for each of your applications. This enables you to refer to the specific programme you are applying for and to highlight how your academic background and skills make you suitable for this particular programme.

Length and writing style

Your personal statement should be no more than 3,500 characters (approximately 500 words) in length and should be written in formal English, using appropriate grammar and punctuation.

It is a good idea to ask a friend to proofread your statement for you before you submit your application.

500字，而不是1000字的要求，这个框框你填与不填，并不影响你的申请结果。

如果你是申理工科，可以在这里补充自己实验室经历，编程水平，如果你是申商科或教育类， 你可以在这里写下自己带薪或不带薪的实习经历，尤其申金融经济类的也可以自己的SQL，Python，R语言，SPSS，Tableau，Matlab，eviews，数据可视化等等的学习经历写进去，而且爱丁堡官网也说了，你如果申不止1个专业，那你就要根据自己所申专业准备独立的PS，文书对于爱丁堡大学的Admissions是会认真看的，核心就是回复爱丁堡提出的3个问题，没那么玄学，毕竟众所周知爱丁堡商院是个均分控，很多时候被拒不是文书锅，一般是GPA，跨专业太大和竞争太激烈的锅。

另外爱丁堡的500字准确来说是3500英文字符，超一点点只要系统能跳过去就没事。
