So i wrote my personal statement a month ago, everything was set, but now I find out that the programs download it using New Courier size 10 font, which is CONSIDERABLY LARGER than size 10 font of times new roman (standard for Microsoft word) so my personal statement now is approximately 1.25-1.5 pages long... is this a huge deal or should i trim it down to 1 page using the stupid font.
I've heard 0.3" margins on the sides, 0.8" margins on the top/bottom, no spaces between lines paragraphs unless you choose to do carriage returns, and Courrier New size 10 font.

no one wants to read a personal statement that is a full one page with 0.3" margins. no one. this is what i did, and it was safe: in word, do times new roman 12, 1" margins all around. that will give you the end result of a readable, appropriately length'ed personal statement. when you start pushing the limits, you will get interviewers that come upon a page full of text, and no one wants to sift through all of it just cut...it...down....a bit

as mark twain said...if i had more time, i would write you a shorter letter. in reviewing applications, by attention span wanes after about 3/4 of a standard page. make your point and make it short.
