Your chance of acceptance, your chancing factors, extracurriculars, word limit on common app personal statement.
Hey folks, I'm about to start working on my personal statement for the Common App. Can someone let me know what the word limit is for the statement? I just don't wanna go over the limit and then realize I need to cut it down. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The word limit for the Common App personal statement is 650 words. You're right to be mindful of the limit beforehand, as it'll save you the hassle of having to cut down your essay later on. While you're working on your statement, I recommend keeping an eye on the word count to ensure that you stay within the limit while still effectively conveying your message. Good luck with your personal statement!
