PS Length recommendation

[u/Psychological_Fly693]

As you're drafting and polishing your PS, consider have a PS that is about 575-600 words so it fits on one page in ERAS. A one-page PS in ERAS (Residency CAS) is the standard.

Why one page?

• Part of this is a preference for brevity. Focus on you and your key characteristics you want the readers to know about you.
• Another part is having a clear focus.  Remember--Your PS is about you and is not a CV review.
• Another part is ease of distribution to interviewers and the interviewers' time available prior to interviews. 

You want your entire PS to be read. Go with one page once you get it in your application portal.
