Do med schools actually care how you write your personal statement?

Hi @three-piece-unre
i am not too sure about the formatting, i would speak to your teachers as i'm sure they've had many past students applying for medical school. Here is a useful website that lists how medical schools and universities in the uk use the personal statement :

It's not about formatting but it may give you some guidance on how the university will view your application.
Hopefully this is helpful to you : ))
