Hi Guys and Gals,

Well, I'm gearing up for applying (in May) and getting everything ready and had a quick question...

how long can our personal statement be? (words and/or pages to be specific)

Thanks!

"You are limited to approximately 1 page (4500 characters, including spaces)." as per AADSAS's instructions.

if i was an adcom, i would read that as an applicant who couldn't edit their work. to those about to apply, the limitation is reasonable.. keep it to 4,500 👍 AADSAS will annoy you enough as it is

ps: if you're gearing up for the 2007 cycle, create a free dummy account on the 2006 AADSAS website so you know what you are up against come May
