If all they say is max length 2 pages, double spaced, then just pick a reasonable font like Times New Roman and font size like 11 pt and see what you can fit! My guess is that it'll be somewhere around 650-750 words.

Hi there! No we don't have a formal essay analysis for NUS. In terms of how to approach that question, I'd start with an example of a time you were successful, and then explain why that was meaningful and what the impact you had was. With only 300 words, you likely won't be able to provide multiple ...

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. That's great you've had project manager exposure, and I can see why it would be a good time to make a career change.

Hi there, It is going to make it tough for you, especially at those top schools. It's not a deal breaker since there is no minimum GPA, but yours will be well below the average. Good news is that you have a high GMAT so that will help. Have you or can you take any supplemental courses to build an al...

Hi Vandana, Thanks for sharing your profile. I see a lot of great things -- your role at a multinational bank is great and I like that you are doing Toastmasters to build up your communication skills (since your role is more technical). Your volunteer experience is great too, definitely plan to high...
