Members don't see this ad.

So, beginning with the format. How should this be organized? indented? break them into multiple paragraphs? double-spaced?

I will take any suggestions in regards to writing a great personal statement.

help out the poor guy my friends.

Thanks!!!!

It is recommended to compose your essay in a text-only (e.g., Notepad, Microsoft Word), review your essay for errors, and cut and paste the final version into the text box. The essay is limited to approximately one page (4,500 characters,including spaces).
Your personal essay will be formatted and printed in standard paragraph form before being sent to your designated dental schools as a part of your ADEA AADSAS application. It will not be sent to your designated dental schools in the format you view in the online application.

Single spaced, 1 space between words and sentences, start a new line for a new paragraph.

so when you start a new paragraph, you would indent it as we normally do right?

No, don't indent. When you go to put the PS into your AADSAS application, you can't indent. That's why you just skip a space between paragraphs.

so everything is single-spaced, no indent, and just give an extra space when beginning a new paragraph?
