[burritoz]

This might be a dumb question, but does the 4500 character count on the AADSAS personal statement include spaces or no? Thanks in advance!

It includes spaces and punctuation marks.

I'm 4900 and am having a hard time cropping. I'm also starting to freak that my statement may not be all that good.

How long did it take you guys to write a decent draft of your PS?

I started 2 days ago but I had an older draft of when I applied to canadian schools. That old draft took me ~2 weeks. IMHO you can finish a good rough draft in 3-4 days if you spend a lot of time on it

I wrote mine in about 2 days last year. Then just did minor tweaking here and there over the year (nothing too major). Here I am now
