<p>Hi there, I haven't seen too many inquires about grad apps, so I hope I'm not in the wrong forum...</p>
<p>I'm applying to Penn's second round of applications for the Master's program in Electrical Engineering. </p>
<p>The application does not specify the length of the personal statement. How long I make it? I've noticed most other grad apps required a statement of purpose to be ~500 words. Can I make it any longer?</p>
<p>Also, what are my chances with the following stats:
GRE: Q166, V155, W4</p>
<p>GPA at UCLA: 3.03, UD GPA: 3.13, and showed significant improvement in grades throughout the years. </p>
<p>I know my GPA is low, but I participated in a huge amount of projects in my 4 years and have extensive hands-on experience in electronics. I plan on writing all about, and I could go for thousands of words...</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
