Personal Statement Length Question

For UG it's 4000 characters and/or 47 lines.
Thought for PG it's the same.

No, that's not true. There is no UCAS or any other centrally administrated admissions process for postgraduate applications, so it's up to the unis themselves to set their own requirements. OP - most unis will give you a rough idea of what they want. If you can't find any specific guidelines about it, then this probably means that they just want you to use your commonsense. Don't write loads but don't write too little - you have to judge for yourself whether you're giving unnecssary information or not. You could always e-mail them and ask if you're worried about. I would probably stick to around one to two pages, certainly no more than two pages. My MA English Literature PS was exactly a page.

Most of mine were a few lines more than one page. But I got a lot into that page and anything more would've felt like rambling.

One page single spaced? I'm still a bit confused. I currently have a statement that's around 800 words--is this way too long?

never stop learning!
