statement of purpose一定要用两倍行距么？

百草园Tracy

写了大概1200字左右，用的是Arial，11

这样调了下刚好可以控制在两页以内，但是如果用两倍行距的话就变成了4页了。

向大家咨询：用两倍行距比较好？还是一倍行距？

另外用times new roman，好像最节约空间，一般教授喜欢看times new roman还是Arial呢？

百草园Tracy

对了，学校没有特别要求用什么行距和格式，但是看版上好多人以前都是说双倍行距，不知道是不是最好选双倍行距呢？？宁可让他有个4页的

貌似你写的ps有一点多，我记得是两杯行距，然后2页。不是特别确定，你在check下

double space, four pages, that's ok. PS is usually between 1000-1500 words.

I definitely strongly suggest using double space. In terms of font it's really hard...... I know quite some professors really hate that font for no reason......

but don't worry, they won't choose you or not choose you because of that kind of style of the essay.

Thank you both!

另外，比较了下，我也不是很喜欢times new roman，难道是这个字体太端正了？感觉Arial好看些！

personal preference, i like garamond best : )

An American professor, my referee, told me not to worry about the lenghth of PS， just ensure you demonstrate your research potential. My PS is 2800 words.

Whatever the length of ps, they will read it short.

Use Font 12. Either Times New Roman or Ariel is fine (I prefer the former one)
