Does anyone know from experience whether the 5300 hundred character limit for the AMCAS personal statement does or does not include spaces?
Thanks.
Thanks.
I believe it does include spaces. They are really strict on it. They'll just cut you off when you're writing.Originally posted by sandg

Great. I didn't know that. I thought it was just supposed to be one big lump. Also, quotation marks on msword turn into % or something like that so be careful. My ps had 2 % instead of quotation marks and it was sent like that. I was pretty sad.Originally posted by DoctorKevin
also, put 2 hard returns at the end of each paragraph. otherwise it will lump them all together.

I guess it didn't affect me as much but who knows. Maybe some schools may have looked down on it.
