I'm writing personal statements for my grad school applications, and in most of the threads in this forum giving advice for personal statements, they say to add a paragraph talking about specifically what research at that university interests you, and what professors you might like to work with.
However, while I know that I want to work in experimental physics, I'm not particularly attached to any area of physics, though I've done research in both High Energy and Gravitational Wave Physics. I assume I'm not going to be able to mention specific professors, but is it okay to say that I'm applying to a particular university because while I'm undecided, they have several areas of physics that I might be interested in exploring?
Any advice on how to handle the personal statement when undecided about the area of research would be appreciated.
