    SOP Help!

    This question is going to come off to be oddly specific but it is a legitimate concern of mine so please help if you can! So! I want to know how closely to the max word/character value everyone is aiming for? I ask because most of my programs are around between 500 and 800 words, but I have one school that is stating a 1200 word max. Should I aim for that number or is it better to just stick to my shorter version so long as it adequately addresses the prompt?
  5. Undergrad Institution: decently ranked private liberal arts university Major(s): Biology, Concentration: Cell and Molecular Biology Minor(s): GPA in Major: 3.93 Overall GPA: 3.84 Position in Class: Top 10% Type of Student: Traditional/ domestic GRE Scores (revised/old version): Have not taken. Currently around 75-80 percentile based on practice tests- 1 month till test date Q: V: W: B: Research Experience: 2.5 years at home institution. During that time, I was involved in 3 projects aside from my own personal work which was a senior thesis project. 1 regional poster presentation + 1 national poster presentation Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Dean's Award for Research at home institution, 2 $5K USDA student scholarships, 2 summer internships at home institution w/ USDA funding, 2 small student research grants Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Plant Biology TA for 6 semesters; Currently working as post-bac researcher at home institution Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Second author on submitted manuscript, high university honors + biology departmental honors at graduation, Dean's list for 6 semesters Special Bonus Points: Not sure if this helps but about 95% of research experience falls within my research interests for grad school. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: Stanford Plant Bio UC Riverside Plant Bio UC Davis Plant Bio Washington State University MPS** WashU PMB** Cold Spring Harbor** Cornell Plant Bio** UC Berkeley Plant Bio Cal Tech Biology **=top choices- not because I think the others aren't absolutely amazing, but these programs have PIs who I'm very interested in working with. If anyone has experience with these schools' admissions stats please enlighten me! Also open to any other suggestions! Thanks!!
