Hello

I have written a 3 page SOP and I'm looking forward to apply at Dalhousie uni.
Should I reduce something from the SOP (Which I'm not able to understand as everything seems important) because usually a SOP is 1-2 pages long.

or Is there any problem if we submit a 3 page SOP

check with your university what the max word count
generally if they're asking you two pages, then it's highly recommended to keep it in two pages.

I had teachers in my university that said that if they ask for 1000 words and you write more than that, they'll stop reading at 1,000 words

u can use 3 pages I dont think it would matter how long it is for the university. However 3 pages u must have lots of achievements to write about. I had 9 years of experience and research still I got mine done in 1 and half page. Another thing dont post SOP on the forum if someone copies ur SOP u will get into trouble.

Yeah thanks everyone

I have now reduced it to 2 pages, I had some quotes written now I have removed those.
I guess it's preferable to have a 2 page sop rather than 3.
