Hi all,
I am writing my personal statement, and wondering about the length limitation.
AADSAS limits 4500words including spaces.
Then, when I'm writing my essay, should I seperate each para. or just one single giant text form considering of blank spaces??

I know this is one more silly question: I should press 2 space bar after the period (.) and go on to next sentence,, ?? (apparently, I'm not a native English speaker...sry )

Thanks,

The limit is 4500 characters (including spaces), not 4500 words. I wrote my PS in the form of paragraphs, but when you enter it in AADSAS, it becomes one giant block of words anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it. Lastly, I would go with one space after a period, since those extra spaces add up!
 
Oh, yes, I mean 4500 characters. I did word count in office and it's approximately 5000 characters including spaces.. when I wrote in giant big text form..

Did you do character counting in paragraph form or just a big text??
Thanks, and I should change it to one space after a period 😉
