How long should a "short statement" for a college application be?
I’m working on an application to a college and they are asking me to provide a short statement of why I would like to transfer there. This application is online and the text space provided looks like no more than a paragraph but if I continue typing in the field it does add scroll bars to the side.
Any idea on what the length of this statement should be?
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can include in it, in case I’m forgetting anything, would be helpful!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.
Type up a half of a page on Word (or whatever program).
Then copy and paste to the text space.
This way you can proofread (print it out and have people read it too) and spellcheck. It will also save you from accidently hitting the ’submit’ button when you’re not done with it.
