Personal statement

[dream2pa]

so on the Caspa it says they have a limitation of 5000 characters for the Personal Statement and my PS have 4760 characters. Does it matter ? any feed back is welcome

you really need to build your sense of security, i don't mean to offend you

[dream2pa]

well i heard they count the characters so i just want to do the right thing. It has nothing to do with the security anyways thanks for the feed back

The schools you are applying to will wonder why you didn't utilize those extra 240 characters and put your app in the trash.

Haha that is messed up. Hilarious, but messed up.

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but it sounds like you're asking if you will somehow be penalized for having 4760 characters when the limit is 5000. Hence all the silly answers you are getting.

 

If that's not what you're asking, could you please re-phrase?

[dream2pa]

if you dont have anything nice to say then just dont say anything.no need to give any smart answers since we all have been in my place once trying to get every thing done for the PA school. I called the schools i was applying to and they were more then willing to answer all my questions in a mature way.
