[WWS Personal Statement -- Word Limit?]

In my opinion, I'd go with what the application says. I'm assuming that the website it giving more general information which may apply to more than one program, hence the 2-4 approximation.  The actual application is what you need to follow and if it says 1000 words stick with that. 

 

Regarding word limit: When I went to an info session for my program, what they said is that you really need to stick to the word limit. They said that it shows them that you can both follow instructions and say what you need to say very succinctly, which are clearly important in grad school.  

 

Edit: I thought that each double-spaced page (12 font) is about 250 words. That would make 4 pgs approx. 1000 words, give or take.

[Canadian Universities MSW. The waiting game 2014 admissions]

I would feel anxious too! I had one person who didn't send in their reference for months (I had submitted my application way early).  What I did to 'remind' them was to send an email saying something like, 'there is still plenty of time before the deadline but I just wanted to make sure you received the link of where to submit your reference'. It worked because she submitted it within a day or two of me sending that email.  She also apologized for taking so long.

 

I think the key is to maintain that balance between generally following-up and nagging.  If you've sent an email within the past two weeks, I'd suggest you go with your gut and not send another email until at least the beginning of December. 

 

I was wondering if anyone has advice for approaching a reference who is extremely delayed in responding to emails? The UofT application is due by Dec 16 and I've only received one reply for every 5 emails I've sent (slight over exaggeration). At this point I'm pretty much emailing once a week and still not getting a response. A few weeks ago they told me they would be okay with writing me one as they did last year, but I'm getting super anxious at this point. 

 

Should I wait until December 1, is there a way to make it look urgent in the subject line without sounding like a total asshole?
