Estimating Words per Page

Using standard double spacing and common fonts, let W represent the number of words and P the number of pages:

\[ W = 250 \times P \]

• 4 pages double spaced: \( W = 250 \times 4 = 1000 \text{ words} \)
• 5 pages double spaced: \( W = 250 \times 5 = 1250 \text{ words} \)
• 6 pages double spaced: \( W = 250 \times 6 = 1500 \text{ words} \)

GPT-4 Word Limit

GPT-4 can handle up to 32,000 tokens, roughly equivalent to: \[ W_{\text{GPT-4}} \approx 25,000 \text{ words} \] This includes both user prompts and AI responses.

Typical Word Count in Essays

• High School Essay: \( W = 300-1,000 \)
• College Admission Essay: \( W = 200-650 \)
• Undergraduate College Essay: \( W = 1,500-5,000 \)
• Graduate School Admission Essay: \( W = 500-1,000 \)

Example Calculation:

Suppose you are writing a 5-page essay, double spaced:

\[ W = 250 \times 5 = 1250 \text{ words} \]

Speech Word Counts

Words Per Minute in Speeches

Let \( W \) be words, \( t \) in minutes, then: \[ W = R \times t \] Where \( R \) = speaking rate (words/minute)

• Slow pace: \( R \approx 100-120 \, \text{wpm} \Rightarrow 3 \text{ min } \approx 300-360 \, \text{words} \)
• Normal pace: \( R \approx 110-160 \, \text{wpm} \Rightarrow 3 \text{ min } \approx 330-480 \, \text{words} \)
• Fast pace: \( R \approx 123-200 \, \text{wpm} \Rightarrow 3 \text{ min } \approx 370-600 \, \text{words} \)

10-minute speech: \( W \approx 1,300-1,500 \) words 15-minute speech: \( W \approx 1,950-2,250 \) words
