Personal Statement Structure

Hi guys,

For some reason my Personal Statement seems to have been submitted without line breaks even though I specifically made sure they were separated into paragraphs. Is this just a viewing error on my side? Its just one whole block in the 'Your personal statement as submitted in your application' section.

I’m not sure sorry

I submitted mine with line breaks but no gaps, the structure came out fine for me

Also it doesn’t really matter from what I know as admissions people are apparently really used to reading through chunky text

Hi! Thanks for replying, I had a friend check on mobile and the formatting was fine on there and on desktop mode too. Although I'm not sure why it was different on PC, but oh well.

It's a known bug in UCAS.

Provided you were in the line limits, it would have been sent exactly how you intended it to - the unis should see it like that as well.
