<p>How many words should the "Why Transfer" statement be? My friend applying to law school told me to be succinct and stay within one-half to two double-spaced pages. I've only got 400 words so far and I'm not sure if it's sufficient?</p>
<p>Usually, 500-600 words will be fine.</p>
<p>I agree with @yssul1027. Try to convey your reasons are concisely as possible.</p>
