<p>When you fill out the personal statement, I was told last year that it was to be around 150 words, short and sweet. However, this year the online application, the personal statement has room for 1000 typing characters, does anyone know what would be a good amount of words to write for the statement because I dont want to under achieve yet I dont want to be too wordy. Thanks so much,</p>
<p>A good amount would be 150 words. A better amount would be 0 words. Don't waste their time; they won't read it.</p>
