Personal Statement 4 lines over???

It would be better to leave the paragraphs for readability. You are clearly now to close to it. Give it to someone else to edit. They will probably find things that you can't see.

I thought so too why can't we just submit a MS Word file given it meets the writing parameters!!

Hi,

Internal deadline for UCAS is this friday and my personal statement, although perfectly under 4000 characters and 47 lines on MS Word, is 51 lines on that malfunctioning UCAS text box.

I really can't trim it. For the past month I have been carefully picking my words and engineering my sentences so I could have the perfect PS and can't change anything.

Between each paragraph I have left a line, much like I have on this post, if I were to remove these lines, it'd be fine. My only concern is anyone reading it will find it of poor standard. I have thought of placing a '#' at the end of each paragraph but still no line spacing, what do you recommend?

URGENT

Get rid of the lines between the paragraphs. Having had three children go through this and numerous conversations with teaching staff dealing with UCAS it doesn't matter if it is essentially one paragraph. It is the content that is important.
