@FixedDice if that's what the CLS rep said, then I'm sure two pages is fine. I got my info from some applicants who were admitted. I asked them what they did for it.
I recommend writing a one-page DS for Columbia. That's what I did for them, and I asked several successful applicants for input. The consensus was that Columbia wants something that's a page or less for the DS.
@NotMyName Columbia's prompt states "approximately two pages in length," so to me that's not a hard cut at two pages. I think of approximately as a 2 pages +/– a bit. However, Harvard gives a more clear cap, stating that the PS needs to be two pages…
@"Rigid Designator" Thanks for the input. Yeah, you're probably right—so long as it's less than 2.5 pages, we're likely good. I used the same font, font size, and 1'' margins in mine. It sounds like Harvard's on your list, too! (I took their minimum…

@Bamboosprout Thanks for the input! Do you know much about how much of an advantage it is to apply very early to Stanford (end of September/beginning of October) vs. just slightly early (end of October)? 7Sage's admissions predictor has October as t…
@"Rigid Designator" I'm assuming you omitted all of your previous final paragraph. Did you swap it entirely for the other one or did you leave some/all of it in and build upon it with the Columbia-focused paragraph?
Does anyone know if J.Y. is aiming to cover all of Section 2 on Monday, or will it likely only be half of Section 2, with the other half being covered on Tuesday? I'm wondering if I should plan on calling in either Monday or Tuesday for Section 2 A…
