  1. I've spent over an hour trying to shorten my SOP for my first choice school. Taken it from 4 pgs to 2...and three lines floating on a third page. Uni's site states "no more than two pages double spaced" and I have steam coming out my ears. UGH.

      Yea - no it's no fun, but they the time you shrink it down it does make it more "readable" for others.  One of my applications required a 10 page statement.  It was enough to drive me to drink.  One of my favorite topics to talk about is myself - but that was a little excessive.  I can't imagine that anyone will want to read a 10 page paper on how interesting I think i am.

      Ha! I do wish it were more universal. I had one school ask for 500 words. How can you learn anything worth reading about someone in 500 words? 10 pages would be too much, I agree. I immediately thought of this image when I read your comment:

      Agreed.  I just realized that part of my other post was unreadable.  "but by the time you shrink it down."  Sometimes being more concise is award winning.  500 words?  Yikes.  Someone give me construction paper and crayon.  I'll make an impression and it won't be a good one
