Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the exact limit is on the length of the personal statement for primaries.
Thanks

IIRC, it's 5500 characters.

I think it's actually 5300

 

[BlueElmo]

5300 characters with spaces.

 

[JJMrK]

My bad. 5300 it is.

I guess we can't give you trouble for not searching since the advanced search function is down, but still, I have to laugh that one of the top thread titles right now is "5300 characters is so little room."

It's 5300 characters (including space) for AMCAS, and
5000 characters (including space) for TMDSAS, plus 2 optional essays 2500 each.
