For those who have written their personal statements or gotten already for this year, i have two questions....
Should i double space my personal statement and
How many pages does everbody have either double spaced or spaced..
 
it doesn't matter if you double space your statement, you will have to copy and paste the statemetn in PharmCAS text box, and will loose any formatting. PharmCAS has 5500 characters requirement. So you have to limit your statement to 5500 characters with space.

I think the limit is 4500 characters, including spaces.

you can type the statement in word and use word's word count option to check. I think it comes to about 1 and 1/3 page.
