Hi neurotic M4 especially as I'm about to submit ERAS,
Wanted to gauge people's opinion on a personal statement that's longer than 1 page? I keep reading that the personal statement should be 1 pg and that was the advice I got from mentors. Currently mine is at 1 page and like 3 lines (total word count is 660) but I really can't shortened it anymore.
I think the main issue is that that I have quite a few paragraph breaks because I discuss 3 things/threads (1 paragraph each) and then have 1 paragraph intro and 1 paragraph about what i'm lookin for in a program (3 sentences) and a 1 paragraph conclusion (only 2 sentences long). I think everything I have to say about myself is on page 1 but the conclusion paragraph ends on page 2 (which just sums up everything).
