I'm writing my personal statement now and i'm confused on how long it should be. I'm at around 800 characters now and I know the limit is 4500. Is my personal statement too short? What is a good length in regards to characters?

Thank you!

Yes, definitely too short considering 800 characters is the length of a paragraph. There is no way you can express everything you need to address in 800 characters. Aim higher since you're nowhere close to the limit, at least 3500, 4000+ if possible imo.

Usually 3-4 paragraphs should be enough (3000+ characters)
800 characters is way too short!!
