Statement of Purpose Length

[nibzq]

Hey Guys,

How long should the Statement of Interest be? I feel like mine was way way too long (I had a lot of explaining to do in the absence of good stats), and that this will work against me.

depends on the school. search the forum, there's a thread on this topic with several responses.

fyi, i applied to columbia without knowing its word limit, had a ps twice as long as the word limit, and was still accepted... so it's really up to your discretion.
