If you can't take out paragraphs, try to merge some, or just make some long sentences shorter. How many words do you need to get rid of?

Check if you're not repeating anything. I found that I really summarized my SOP at the end, so I moved some parts and got rid of the repetitions!

I have 1300 words and I only need 500. Too many words to get rid off, I guess.

I will try to do this merging and see if it works. Line editing might help too. My dad says I use unusually long sentences that he forgets what I said in the beginning of the sentence when he gets to the end of it.
