That's a tough question. How much would you need to cut from your masters? I'm using an essay that is getting published in an undergrad journal just before the application deadline (I got very lucky with the timing).
Also, here's question for you folks: How did you format your Personal Statements/SOPs? All my programs give very vague descriptions. On the top left of the first page I have: Full name, Personal Statement/SOP, University and College/Dept, and program title. The pages after the first have a top-right oriented header: "LastName, Page#". Only one program specifies double spacing, so the rest I am leaving single spaced.
I'm probably overthinking it, leave it to me to get deadline jitters. ? Good luck to everyone.
