Does it matter if it's dense?

i think that the content is deffinitely the most important thing. it is the admissions tutors job to ensure they give everyone a fair hearing and if your personal statement is good and gripping they will read it. however, atthe same time, it can be good ot have some space. however, tehn youd have to put space between every paragraph and you may not be able to delete that many lines. have you tried rewording sentences? for example, in mine i had 'I have varied paid and voluntary work expereince which has developed my responsiblities...etc' which i changed to 'my varied paid and voluntary work experience has developed...'losing several characters. i know it's not a lot but its surprising how much difference in terms of lines this can be especially if youre just a word or two over

experiement in apply itself. paste it in, then delete two or three words off every paragraph (randomly, any words, save the original obviously) and see how many lines u save. it could be by deleting just one word on each paragraph u save enough. and im sure you could find one word to cut out or a shorter one that would be ok.

try it and see - but dont worry if you cant as i said before, its the admissions tutors job to read personal statements,and if your tutor says its fine - well im sure they have lots of expereince and know best. so many others will be in your situation too. dont worry.
