Q: If you've read personal statements from applications to your residency program....

... can you share about how the page printed out from ERAS? I'm wondering about:

1) font face (Courier? Arial? Times?)

2) font point size (actual size depends on face)

3) margins

4) spacing -- single? double?

I have no idea how it prints out, so I have no idea if my one-page statement in MS Word could actually be three pages once printed out from ERAS. That being said, I have no information for accessing ERAS yet, so I have no idea if I could test this out myself once I get access to it.

I think the standard is Courier New 10-point font single-spaced with one inch margins. I believe it says somewhere in the ERAS FAQs.

That it does. Do a little investigating. It specifically tells you about limits imposed for not only your personal statement, but the rest of your application as well.
