What is the difference between a statement of purpose and a personal statement?

A personal statement is mostly about who you are and why this profession, and it suits professional programs. A statement of purpose is mostly about what you intend to research and whether you are prepared to do it there. Sending the wrong genre is one of the most common and most avoidable application errors.
