 Do or don’t?
There is mixed opinion about whether to call attention to and explain any of your obvious weaknesses in your essay.  Some recommend clarifying any weaknesses on your transcripts or your GRE scores in your essay.  Others believe one should only be positive—that if you feel you need to explain something, that you should attach an addendum to your application, make note of it in a cover letter, or ask one of your letter writers who knows you well to discuss it.


FAQ's
How long should the statement of purpose be?
Your statement of purpose should be about 1 to 1 1/2 pages (500-600 words). Use normal margins and font 11 or 12, refrain from using small fonts since they are hard to read. Generally, a shorter statement of purpose that is clearly written is better than a longer one.
