So ERAS states that one cannot exceed 28,000 characters (including white space).

Approximately how many words is 28,000 characters w/white space.

Thanks

of one of the sample ps from my school, the word count was 900 and character count was 5000 and one page. This makes the max for eras about 6 pages single spaced.
 
but don't write a 6 page single spaced ps. nobody program director would read it, even if you won a Pulitzer or something.
 
FYI there is a feature on Microsoft word that will give you a word and character count, that may help

Did someone mention personal statements?? ICK!! Puke!! Blah!! :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I don't know about 6 pages...my school was insistent that we get our PS down to one single spaced courier 10pt font page

and boy how I loved summing up my entire life's goals into one page...I just might write another personal statement about how much I hate personal statements....but I'm sure I couldn't fit it onto one single spaced courier 10 pt font page
