  How long is your personal Statement? Usually 2 page max double spaced.

  I wouldn’t make my DS over 1 page for the sake of brevity for the reader.

  If you look at https://7sage.com/admissions/lesson/application-requirements-for-top-schools/, you will see that many schools that specify a length for extra optional essays limit them to 1 page or 500 words. There shouldn't be any confusion between your personal statement and any other writing that you submit.
