hi, guys, how could you know if your personal statement is longer than 1 page?
after we save the PS in myERAS, it just appears longer if you keep writing it, it does not show in a seperate page.
thank you!

Type it in word or another word processing program. It will let you know approximately how many pages you have.

Thanks bbb, I did that, but i guess it depends on the font, the paragraph space, the size, page marging...
I just want make sure it fit into 1 page.
Is there any other way to know how does the program director will print the PS?
thank you!

Use the standard of Times New Roman, 12pt, single space, 1 inch margins.

One page is enough. My PS even 4/5 page.
I attended a workshop in Kaplan and they said please appreciate the time of program directors. They have to read lots of stuffs of applicants.

If they say 1 page I would keep it to 1 page. If they say "around" 1 page then you can make it longer. Programs are reading thousands of PS. How would you feel if you come across PS's that are longer than directed.
