How long should an SOP for MS CS be?
Typically 700-1000 words. Some schools specify a page limit. Never exceed 2 pages with standard formatting.
Should I mention my GPA or GRE in the SOP?
Only if they are very strong. Your SOP should add context not repeat what is already in your application.
How different should SOPs be for different universities?
At minimum, customize the research fit paragraph for each school. Top schools can tell when an SOP is generic.
