Hey I cannot find a post anywhere on the board on how long you guys are writing for the personal statement? ERAS says 28,000 characteres including spaces is the limit but that is like 6 pages single spaced I believe-there is NO way I am writing that much nor is someone wanting to read that much-I was thinking 2-3 pages double spaced is something more reasonable-sorry if this is a repeat question but a quck answer would be appreciated-that is the lat piece of my app that is missing and trying to finish it! thanks much!

Length of personal statement should fit on to one page in the ERAS format (no double space). Print it out with ERAS to see how it will actually be received. While on the trail, I heard that if it is longer than 1 page, they are not read. Usually not read anyway.
