Length of Diversity Statement

Post by gbpackerbacker » Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:17 pm

How many words is too many words for a DS? I don't want to talk...er...write their eyes off, but I want to elaborate in order to show them how I diversify their student body. Is 750 too much? Should I write less? Can I use more words?

Thank you.

Think you might be on the long side. Norm, I believe, is one page double-spaced.

You need a 1 page long (double spaced 11pt font) diversity statement and a 2 page long diversity statement
different schools will call for one or the other
one school asks for three hundred words, so you'll have to do a special edit for them if you apply there.
