Hi guys, in the employment section are you simply stating the job description under each role or highlighting the achievements?

2nd essay of mine is 855
First one though is about 490

250 words min is what they need...so if its below 1000 words...that should be fine👍

690 for professional, 998 for personal.

Word count is one thing, but flow and cohesion is another. A 1000-word essay can read very quickly if its written well and the story flows quickly, just as much as a 400-word essay can be a chore to read if there's no real narrative behind it.

Rightly said....flow should be coherent and story should be interesting for the reader👍

I emailed AdCom about this question and got this response: "Thank you for your email. We will allow a one week grace period from the application date to submit their letter."

I explained why I didn't choose my current supervisor and gave them reasons for choosing my recommenders - why they're better equipped to share insights about my professional development.
