<p>I am applying to integrated biomedical PhD programs and I'm wondering if my personal statement is too long. It's a little over 3 pages double spaced (926 words). Any input will be much appreciated!</p>
<p>The only school that limited the length of personal statements in my applications was Harvard and they had a maximum of 1000 words (which I flagrantly ignored). I think that the length of your statement is fine.</p>
<p>thanks for the response. were you applying for science programs?</p>
<p>the only limit i’ve seen so far is 2 pages single spaced. i managed to do that with 950 words</p>
<p>Yep, biomedical umbrella programs or microbiology departments.</p>
<p>I’m writing one with a max. word count of 600. Does it not tell you in the prompt?</p>
