Does anyone know the personal statement character limit for 2011 MD schools? 😎Thank you!

There's a good thread re: the changes to the 2012 AMCAS vs. 2011 AMCAS. The search function will help you find it. I believe the PS will remain 5300 and the experience section blocks (the 15 EC blocks) drop from 1300 to 700, with you now having to rank them. That is from a hazy memory though.

5300 characters including spaces?

TIA

Yeah, they include spaces.

Which depending on length, should be in a ballpark of 800-900 words.
