EDIT: ok that original thread seemed horribly lazy. Let me start over.

I have not written a letter of intent or anything of the sort since my senior year of HS, so it has been quite some time.

What are graduate programs looking for nowadays; Edgy writing or the standard cookie cutter bullshit?

I’m having a bear of a time writing about myself for some reason and any templates/advice would be a great start to get me over this “writers block.”
