good job for completing your essay early!

if u search for old posts...most people had under 1000 words, which is fine.
i think the bulk of applicants had it around 700-900

My essay was about 850, but I think that they tell you 1000 or less, so if its all good and its how you want it, you might not have to cut any out.

Mine was something like 980 and it worked out just fine (I used Word). I believe you'll be just fine. Good luck!

you should actually do a character count and not a word count. aadsas uses an average of 6 characters per word, so as long as you're under 6000 characters (with spaces), it should fit in the box.

Bingo! This is the reason why everyone's essay ends up with less than a 1000 words. I had to trim mine down to ~950 to make it fit - doing that was sure easier than writing it, that's for sure!

Speaking of personal statements, does anyone know where I can find some sample ones to see as an example? Never done this before 😀

Mine's around 980 words and about ready to send off... It's a real good feeling when it starts to come together. Good luck.
