Should a personal statement about one's identity, backstory, or passions be something that they could write 8 pages about but shortened down or something that easily fits into a 600-word limit? #pondering
I saw a Tiktok explaining that a solid personal statement should be able to be extended to thousands of words, since it sort of encompasses your life story or at least the special interests, moments, or circumstances that have made you, you! However, my friend told me yesterday that a personal statement story should fit without needing to be squeezed down; if it doesn't naturally/easily fit within the word count, it's not the right story. I am asking for clarity on this. For context, my personal statement is 648 out of 650 words. Thanks to whoever can help me!
