A theme in my PS relates my cultural background and upbringing to wanting to become a doctor. The problem is this required a lot of set-up and I spent like 2 paragraphs (1700 characters out of 5300) describing my cultural background and formative childhood events in which I played a very passive role (i.e. I was mainly an observer). The information is very biographical and doesn't reveal any particular personality attributes about me (examples: resilience, compassion, or whatever); it's more like "here's what my childhood was like" and "this is what is valued in my culture."
Do adcoms care to know these "biographical" things or am I hurting my PS by including so much of it? It is HIGHKEY hard for me to trim it down more than it already is.
The advice I always hear is to focus on attributes/actions/characteristics rather than people in my life and events that happened to me.
(also sry this is vague I'm trying to be anonymous lol)
