    Personal statement character count help

    Hi all! :) So, thanks to everyone who helped me and shared their LLM personal statement with me, mine is now done. However, the uni I'm applying to says your personal statement should have a maximum of 4000 characters with spaces included. I'm at 4090 and I don't think I can cut anything else...
