Hi guys,

So whenever I copy and paste my personal statement (I've tried from both google doc and a microsoft word document), I save it, but when I go back to the "My Application" screen, it indicates that the Personal Statement hasn't been entered. Indeed, when I go to click on the Personal Statement tab, it's gone! I don't know how to make it save properly.

Any help appreciated! Thanks. 🙂

try clearing your history/cookies..sometimes it just reloads the same page from your history, even though it has been saved.
 
I figured out the problem - it's because my PS exceeded the max number of characters, so it wouldn't save. I tried inputting just the first paragraph, which did save. So... I've just gotta shorten it up, and I should be fine! 🙂
