Ontario Schools: Going under the PS word count?
Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2017 1:41 pm
Hi folks,
Looking for some insight from those applying to Ontario schools, specifically Queen's and Osgoode. The personal statement max word count is 6000 for the former and 2000 + 2000 for the latter, which feels quite lengthy given my current drafts. Is it necessary to approximate the word count, or should I submit a statement that I feel is strong even if it's about half the maximum? I don't want to get dinged for submitting something that's too short, but also don't want to add meaningless info for the sake of length.
Thanks in advance!
