Personal Statement length!

<p>So is the 600/200/200 set in stone? Can we do, say, 550, 250, 200? How about 550, 300, 150?</p>

<p>They must add up to about 1000, with each essay staying as close to the "limit" as possible. So the first two should be about 200 (I would say no off by 10, so 190-210) and the open ended be 590-610.</p>

<p>correct me if im wrong, but i think you can't go over the 600/200/200 limit per essay, but you can go below it.</p>

<p>i don't think it was a deadset limit...i remember that i went over by a little</p>

<p>They won't throw your statement out if it's over, unless it's considerably over.
They don't tell you this threshold .. so I'd say play it safe and call it 10 words.</p>

<p>The website I believe gives a better explanation .. I think they said a few words over was okay, but gotta be conservative and stick with the "10 word rule".</p>

<p>I wrote 180, 170 and 570. lol</p>

<p>you're allowed to go below any of the limits</p>
