Word count requirement
First, official website has clear wording requirements.
For example, TESOL of the University of Pennsylvania is within 750 words, LLM of Cornell University is within 750 words, landscape architecture of the University of Virginia is within 600 to 750 words, and architecture of the University of Florida and the University of Pennsylvania is within 500 words.
Two, official website does not stipulate how many words, but there are length requirements.
For example, the MPP major at the University of California, Berkeley requires personal statements to be 3-5 pages long, with font 12 and double spacing; The LLM major of UCLA requires that personal statements should be no more than 3 pages long, with font 12 and double spacing.
Third, official website has neither a clear word requirement nor a space limit, but will leave a personal statement text box in the online application. There is a word limit, and more than a specified number of characters cannot be entered.
When we say the number of characters here, we mean counting spaces. For example, the TESOL professional SP of the University of Florida requires less than 5,000 words, and the jewelry design professional SP of the State University of new york at Newport requires less than 4,000 words.
Faced with so many requirements, you are thinking, how many words are double-spaced on two pages, and how many words are 5000 words? The number of words required by each school is different, and some of them have not even been required. So how much is appropriate to write?
In general, we will design our SP in the early stage, and the length is about 800- 1000 words. If we meet schools with special requirements in the later stage, we will make corresponding adjustments. However, it is of course best if you can know in advance the number of words required by the school you want to apply for, and then determine what to write according to the requirements.

Personal statement
My great curiosity about camera lenses stems from a TV interview when I was a little girl. In 2004, Hunan TV Station held a talent show called "Super Girl". When I was a high school student, I found that high ratings brought huge audiences and advertisers. This also makes mass media a hot industry. I think this is a potential job and will provide opportunities; My prospects and material conditions for taking off. Therefore, I decided to choose mass communication as my major.
I am proud to study in Nanjing College of China Communication University, which is the top communication and media higher education institution in China. During my undergraduate study, I found myself strongly attached to this particular field. The GPA of 82 proves that I am an excellent student in my class. Learn the basic methods and theories of radio and television program editing and mass communication. There is no doubt that practice makes perfect. Therefore, I applied for the professional internship of TV editing in Yueyang Radio and Television Company. The largest and most authoritative media company in Yueyang. During my internship, I applied what I learned in school to the actual process of TV program production, including program planning, program recording, editing and broadcasting.
Writing scripts and making movies with my classmates is also my favorite. During the creative process, we exchanged our ideas and discussed the issues of script, performance and post-production, which benefited from my strong sense of teamwork. As a member of the university volleyball team, I deeply accepted the concept of "hard work". It is this spirit that made my short film Timeline win the third prize of the 5th International Film Works Selection Practice. No pains, no gains!
Emerging technologies are rapidly changing the media map. Internet, wireless communication and digital video technology are creating a new communication environment. Canadian professor marshall mcluhan first proposed in his paper 1967 that our world is gradually becoming a global village. With the recent trend of globalization, I hope to continue my research in media communication. Understand how the methods and perspectives of media communication affect the final communication effect, and how the global media can better fulfill its social responsibilities under the globalization environment.
I chose England because I like English TV series very much, such as, etc. I love football very much, too. I want to watch the Premier League. I chose Britain because it is the media center of the European Union. I can learn a lot of knowledge that I can't learn in China, and at the same time broaden my horizons. There is an old saying in China: It is better to read thousands of books than Wan Li Road. I will be influenced by many different cultures in England.
At present, my career ideal is clear in my mind. In order to combine my career goals with social development and accommodate a variety of interdisciplinary knowledge, I will comprehensively study the interactive relationship between mass media and human civilization. This is an objective law and trend. I chose this project with the most advanced research facilities and world-class teachers to improve my knowledge of scientific research methods. Even when I enter my goal statement word by word, I am more determined about my choice. Persuasively, my solid technical background will help me to understand the internal operation of media communication more clearly. My full internship experience will also prepare me for easy integration into the media market. Similarly, I believe that under your careful guidance, I will make greater contributions to the media industry in China and add luster to my career.
In the past three years, I have never stopped pursuing my own interests and developing in an all-round way, although I sometimes suffer setbacks, feel confused or dissatisfied with reality like a rebellious youth. Modern undergraduate education pays attention to the expansion of students' professional knowledge. With the rapid changes in the world, only a generalist can best adapt to the global society. In this active campus atmosphere, I will certainly seize the opportunity to cultivate the quality of becoming a media person.
