Word Limits

Here are some important word/character limits to remember.
  • Statement of Purpose- 1,500 words. Keep in mind that some programs have their own limitations/requirements. Please see our Essays webpage for details.
  • Personal History Statement- 4,000 characters.
  • Letters of Recommendation- 700 words.
In addition to the word/character limits applicants should be aware that word processor character do not translate into text correctly. We encourage you to compose your statements in a  text-only word processor (e.g., Notepad, not Word), then cut and paste the final edit into the text box in SOPHAS and the Berkeley-specific application.
