Keep the length up to 800 words .... It would be fine .... The quality (beauty) of a SOP is not dependant upon length ... Rather, it should cover all the points and your message must be conveyed to the reader .... That's it....

Exactly what points? Is there a guide for writing an SOP?

I have sent 2 pages of SOP, but my visa is accepted. I thought that 1 page is not enough to express myself, half of it goes to dear sir/madam and my admitted schools address at the bottom. i only have to express myself in a half page, therefore i challenged my luck sent my 2 pages long SOP. if you think in an other way, please ignore my post
