Sorry if this has been asked in another post before but as far as the explanation and personal statements go, what has everyone done as far as formatting?? I.e. do you indent for each paragraph or do you skip a line or what?

I see it as a personal preference. I put an extra line in between paragraphs.

i did the same

I'm putting one extra line between paragraphs, no indent. I am at EXACTLY 5000 characters, pending final editing suggestions from a friend (this is my 3rd draft). Almost done, woohoo!

I just put a single space between paragraphs. No indenting. Mine ended up being 4998 characters. 😀

I'm not sure what it even looks liek when they print it out from VMCAS anyway. What if it all just runs together in one big chunk? Terrible!

I would do one line as well. I haven't put mine into VMCAS yet, but I'm still under the character limit so I plan on having some space.

You must have left something out. Add a couple more commas. 😛

I hope I didn't leave anything out, it is already submitted. I think my PS came out nicely in the end. I am pleased with it. I am refusing to look at though until it gets closer to January I am afraid I will have made a mistake. Like forgetting a comma. 😛

I probably added too many commas...but my PS was only 4600ish characters, so those commas for sure increased the amazing factor!

But yeah, I just put a single space after each paragraph.
