i thought it was about 4500 characters, but i didnt find anything on ADEA application personal statement section saying it

does anyone know how much do we have to write to be safe?
 
If you click on the "instructions for this section" of the personal statement section, you will see they specify it has to be 4500 characters including spaces. When you paste it in, you can see how many characters, but be careful when you paste from Word to AADSAS, because for me, for some reason, they word count was different.
 
It is 4500 characters. I didn't have any issues on the count when pasting it from Word to the AADSAS form. Be sure to limit the number of tabs or enters, if any.
 
are you able to keep paragraphs? say by having a line of space between them?
 
4500 characters is about 750 words.
