UC Berkeley Graduate Statement of Purpose?
UC Berkeley has two statements, one is the personal statement, and the other one is the history statement. About how many words should I write my for each of the statements?
Other school has a limit/requirement of the number of words, e.g. Columbia requires about 500 words, but Berkeley did not state any information on that.
Did anyone know about it? Or the statements could be as long as I want?
FYI, the prompts of the two statements
1) Please describe your aptitude and motivation for graduate study in your area of specialization, including your preparation for this field of study, your academic plans or research interests in your chosen area of study, and your future career goals. Please be specific about why UC Berkeley would be a good intellectual fit for you.
2) Please describe how your personal background and experiences inform your decision to pursue a graduate degree. In this section, you may also include any relevant information on how you have overcome barriers to access higher education, evidence of how you have come to understand the barriers faced by others, evidence of your academic service to advance equitable access to higher education for women, racial minorities, and individuals from other groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education, evidence of your research focusing on underserved populations or related issues of inequality, or evidence of your leadership among such groups.
The Personal History Statement is required for all applicants. Please note that the Personal History Statement should not duplicate the Statement of Purpose.
