Dear Psychology PhD/PsyD Applicants,

For the Statement of Purpose, some schools clarify length, for example "1,000-1,500 words", or 1-2 pages double spaced.

However, other schools write something along the lines of "2-3 pages" for the SOP.

Is there a standard for the format for the SOP in those instances where the format is not specified?

Thank you!
