Wanted to overlook the SOP requirements for the MPH program at Yale and can't seem to find them anywhere on the website. Anybody know about word count requirements, etc.?

I asked about this last summer. Here is the response to an e-mail:
We are finalizing the exact wording for this years personal statement, but generally speaking the personal statement is your opportunity to tell us your story and go beyond the numbers inherent in test scores and GPAs. It should clearly define your focus and commitment to public health. It should also clarify why an MPH, why Yale and why the division you have chosen are important to you. The length should be no longer than two pages.
As for applying to global health, you will be asked to provide an essay which describes your previous experiences that are most relevant to your application for the global health concentration, your current professional goals and why you wish to complete the concentration.
I am no longer applying to Yale, but at least, this gives you an idea of what they are looking for. Good luck! 😀
