cooperstreet Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 A bunch of these PHD programs in history don't list the maximum SOP length on the website; is there an average range I should stick to or should I send an email asking what the range is?
TMP Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Generally 2-3 pages are sufficient. Remember to try and tailor each SOP.
Safferz Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Most of the applications I've seen ask for no more than 1000 words, while a few have 500 word limits. If the history department doesn't specify a length, usually you'll find some information about it on the graduate school's website IME.
maeisenb Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 1000 words for a SOP is pretty much SOP (standard operating procedure that is). ok no more history jokes on this forum I promise cause that was terrible, but I had to.
