personal statement

hiiii,
i have pretty much finished my personal statement - i am applying for maths at a masters level - the only issue is that my character count is currently standing at 4400 ish. I havent put this into ucas just yet, but im not sure whether they would accept this much or not. i'd prefer not to change anything, but if this character count wont be accepted, then i would prefer to make changes sooner rather than later. hope thats good guys!

Hi! It won’t let you put it in anything over the word count - you’re going to need to remove the characters that are over unfortunately
As above, it'll literally stop letting you type beyond the character count.

Note if you copy paste into it while over the character count, the remaining characters over will be cut off, possibly mid word.

Hi there,

You will need to reduce the character count. you can use a word document to count the characters.

kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)
