Hello everyone. I am making this thread to get confirmation on the character length for the personal statement for DO medical schools. When I google it, I find different answers (some websites say 4500 and others say 5300). Am I correct in assuming that that it is currently 5300 and perhaps changed from 4500 in the last few years? I was assuming this because the latest websites seem to say 5300.

Any input on what is the official character length for the personal statement for DO medical schools will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for confirming that for me. I am trying to shorten my personal statement and really needed to confirm that piece of information.
