I know the AADSAS personal statement limit is 4500 characters. Mine is currently about 3600, I feel like I could maybe add in a little more material but for the most part I feel like I've written what I want to get across. Is this too short? I'm not sure if it would be better to leave it as is with it being concise, or to add in some filler info to make it closer to 4500.

Thoughts?

Thanks

If you really think you have included everything to make an impressive personal statement, then leave it, rather then be redundant...But you could add a short paragraph showing how your experiences have impacted you, if you have something relevant and strong to say 🙂

Yea that's where I'm kind of torn, I have included how my experiences have impacted me so I'm not sure which option would be better. I'm a health and exercise science major rather than the typical bio/science major, I had one person suggest writing about why I chose that over bio, for example, in a paragraph or so. Idk....

Yeah, every new date wants to hear why you chose him/her over Sarah, Molly/Tom/Dick/Harry.
