Personal Statement

I was wondering, when I paste my personal statement into their submission box, does paragraph indention matter? Because when I view the printable version of my application the indention do not show up. Also, for some reason my character counts did not match up with what microsoft words.

When I pasted my personal statement into submission box, the indentation didn't match correctly. I think I tried putting spaces at the beginning of each new paragraph, and that worked pretty effectively.

As far as the character counts, are you using the words with spaces counter? or without? I was looking at the wrong counter in microsoft word the whole time and I ended up having to remove a paragraph from my personal statement to fit the 4500 character limit with spaces in PharmCAS.

Best wishes!

I can't believe that they even count blank spaces as the characters! I'm going to have to remove sentence altering my entire statements maybe, just so that I can indent my paragraphs! What a flaw!
