Hi AJ,
If I were you I'd keep it default. It's more space than they've given in the past, you used to have to fit two essays on one page.

On the BIF pdf form this year, it seems there is A LOT of potential space to write the essay... is this usable space?? ie. since we are now sending an electronic version, it would be possible to read the rest, right? Or are we still supposed to have it fit the size of the page like last year? I'm curious because no one seems to have mentioned this part... And no one seems to have mentioned the fact it's now only one essay... am I missing something?? |

Hi Sandy Panda... this year's BIF has less space than last year  Last year my first essay had around 660 words (3465 characters). This year I had to cut it down to 440 words because it is locked at 2542 characters... I am assuming you have to make sure it fits in one page just in case they need to print it. And I guess this year we only have to worry about one essay unless both of us missed something lol Good luck |

 It sure is... only the essay though the rest of the form auto adjusts the font so there is more space than last year.

sorry to bring up an old feed but I was wondering how critical the essay is in the admission selection?

I discuss this in my presentation. It is part of the BIF assessment step before the interviews. If it is very poorly written or has something that is flagged by the committee you may not be invited to the interviews.

I am just wondering what should be included in our personal essay and how to make it stand out? Thanks!
