Statement of Purpose Question

[uchenyy]

I am currently applying to PhD programs, and my statement is approximately 750 words. My professors have commented on it, and I have revised it based on those comments. I'm very happy with it, and I've been told it's a very good statement. Some programs note that the statement should be approximately 1,000 words. Should I submit my 750-word statement to these programs, or should I add more words? I am hesitant to do so, as I'm very pleased with what I have. I also don't know what else there is to add at this point without talking about things that appear elsewhere in my application (e.g., coursework). Thanks!
