Florida SOP length for English PhD?

[deedeepeepee]

I have not submitted my application to UF yet because I haven't been able to find any length requirement/limit on the admissions webpages. Am I missing something? Right now my statement is around 900 words, and I don't want to overshoot some word/page limit that I am not seeing.

 

Thank you in advance.

900 words is a good ballpark figure for an SOP in general, but to be on the safe side, you should contact the DGS (unless you're right up against the deadline, in which case...send it off!).

On an unrelated note - Wyatt - I fully just sat here, stumped, for a good four minutes, trying to figure out if the letters that you bolded in your signature spell something out. I have concluded that they do not.

...or DO they?

Florida's SOP the year I applied (I am in the Fall 2013 cohort) was 500 words.

Thank you. I didn't come across this number until I was deep into the online application manager. This sucks.
